FAQs
What is the capacity of the Hikelite Tour 24?
The Hikelite Tour 24 has a 24-litre capacity, making it suitable for day hikes, casual outdoor activities, or as a personal item for travel.
Is the Hikelite Tour 24 waterproof?
The pack is made with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treated polyester, which provides some water resistance. For full protection against rain, it includes an integrated rain cover that should be deployed in wet conditions.
Can I attach trekking poles to this pack?
Yes, the Hikelite Tour 24 features dual trekking pole loops and upper side compression straps with a capture system designed for securely attaching trekking poles when you're not using them.
What does 'AirSpeed ventilation' mean?
AirSpeed ventilation refers to Osprey's tensioned mesh backpanel system that lifts the pack body away from your back, allowing for maximum airflow and ventilation. This helps to reduce sweat and increase comfort during activity.
Is the hipbelt removable?
Yes, the Hikelite Tour 24 comes with a removable webbing hipbelt. This allows you to customize the pack's fit and support, or remove it entirely for lighter loads or a more minimalist profile.
How do I clean my Hikelite Tour 24?
For cleaning, spot wash the pack using a damp cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the material and DWR coating. Air dry thoroughly in a shaded area.
What does 'Bluesign approved' material signify?
Bluesign approval means that the fabric used in the Hikelite Tour 24 meets strict environmental, health, and safety standards throughout its production, from raw materials to finished product. This indicates a commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
My back still feels sweaty despite the AirSpeed ventilation.
Ensure the pack is properly adjusted. The shoulder straps should be snug but not too tight, and the sternum strap should be positioned comfortably across your chest. The AirSpeed system relies on tension to create the air gap; check that the pack isn't overly compressed against your back by external loads or strap settings. Distribute weight evenly within the pack.
The rain cover doesn't seem to fit snugly or is letting water in.
First, ensure the rain cover is fully deployed and stretched over all exposed areas of the pack, including the bottom. Check for any tears or punctures in the cover material. If the pack is overstuffed, the cover might struggle to fit properly. Make sure the elastic edge is tucked securely around the pack's perimeter. If the cover is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Items are falling out of the stretch mesh side pockets.
The stretch mesh pockets are designed to secure items with tension. Ensure the items you place in them are an appropriate size and shape. For smaller or less stable items, you can use the upper side compression straps to cinch down and further secure the contents of the pockets, preventing them from falling out during movement.

Cons
- 24-litre capacity may be too small for longer, multi-day trips.

- Not designed for carrying very heavy or bulky gear.
Getting started with your Hikelite Tour 24 is straightforward. The traditional panel loader design means you simply unzip the main compartment to load your gear. Adjust the padded shoulder straps to a comfortable height, and secure the adjustable sternum strap, ensuring the rescue whistle is easily accessible. If desired, connect the removable webbing hipbelt for added stability, especially when the pack is fuller. Compatibility-wise, the dual trekking pole loops and upper side compression straps are specifically designed to secure most standard trekking poles. The stretch mesh side pockets accommodate water bottles up to 1 liter or similarly sized items. For care, the pack's Bluesign approved 100% Recycled 300D x 450D polyester with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is designed for durability. To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for spot cleaning. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the DWR coating. Allow the pack to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat. The DWR treatment, made without PFAS, helps repel water, but the integrated rain cover should always be used for significant precipitation.
