Meet the Osprey Hikelite LT 22 Hiking Backpack—the lightweight, airflow-optimized daypack built for both quick jaunts and longer, warm-weather hikes. With an AirSpeed™ suspension, a tensioned mesh backpanel, and ventilated shoulder straps, this pack prioritizes breathability so you can move faster and stay cooler on tough climbs.

Breathable comfort you can feel

Designed for hot days and extended outings, the Hikelite LT 22 uses an AirSpeed suspension system paired with a tensioned mesh backpanel to create a steady, cooling airflow along your back. The ventilated straps reduce moisture build-up, helping you stay comfortable from trailhead to summit.

Smart, practical organization for day hikes

• Included raincover stores in a dedicated pocket at the base of the pack, ready for sudden showers.
• Extra-tall stretch side pockets provide quick access to water bottles or small layers without stopping.
• Vertical zippered external pocket with a key clip keeps essentials secure and within reach.
• Internal sleeve with a hose routing port and Hydraclip for easy hanging and routing of a hydration reservoir.
• Webbing hipbelt with padded hipwings delivers stable carry on uneven terrain.
• Adjustable sternum strap with a safety whistle adds an extra layer of security on the trail.
• Blinker light attachment loop (light not included) helps you stay visible during early starts or dusk walks.
• Wide, bucket-style access to the main compartment simplifies packing and unpacking at camp or trailheads.

Hydration-ready and versatile

The Hikelite LT 22 is built to support your hydration plan. The internal hydration sleeve and routing port make it easy to hook up a reservoir, while the side pockets and main compartment accommodate snacks, maps, and layers for a day on the trail.

Who is this for?

Ideal for hikers who value lightweight, breathable gear without sacrificing organization. It’s perfect for short or long day trips, summer treks, and anyone who wants quick access to essentials, a reliable rain cover, and a secure hydration setup in a comfortable, stable pack.

Practical tips to get the most out of your pack

• Pack heavier items close to your spine and near the hip belt to maximize stability on uneven terrain.
• Use the side stretch pockets for frequent-used items like water, sunscreen, or a compact fleece.
• When rain is looming, deploy the built-in raincover early to protect your gear and keep your back dry.
• Route your hydration hose through the internal sleeve port to maintain a clean, uncluttered interior.
