Fwiw, I have this backpack and used it extensively with nylon, polyester, and cotton shirts (tshirts, polos) and had no issue with piling. Maybe piling is an issue with wool or woven shirts? Osprey is one of my favorite brands and this is one of favorite backpack by far because of the light frame and mesh back to keep your back cool in the summer heat. Got the shiitake color from Sierra on clearance for $35. Not a fan of the black and blue colors that are left.

The reason for the clearance sale is because of the they updated the line. The only major change I noticed to hikelite 18 is they reinforced the bottom of the water bottle pockets. For comparison, the updated hikelite 18 is $120

At $38, it is roughly 70% off. At this price point, you won't find a better backpack. It is a no brainer imho.

I don't have this pack, but I have a Gregory Miwok that is the same size (18L). They are perfect for the lockers provided at Universal Orlando when you go on rides. Just the right size to fit in the free ones provided and large enough to carry whatever small stuff you need like sunscreen, towels, sunglasses, flip flops, wallet etc.

Read all the reviews about it damaging and piling up your clothes real bad. Hard pass.

Maybe not the best day pack out there but for $40, it is worthy of a backup or under the seat personal item for your flight. Thx op!

Is this just an "open" pack or are there "dividers" and compartments? Looking for a hiking pack that can safely fit some camera lenses.

If you're taking enough gear to care about compartments, I highly recommend checking out Lowepro [lowepro.com] or other backpacks that are specifically made for carrying camera equipment.

I co-owned a photography business for a few years and still do minor hobby work, and having a pack that is specifically designed for camera work is fantastic. Not only does it properly protect your gear, but little things like pockets specifically for memory cards and side-opening compartments are noticeably better once you have them.

Is it the end of the brand? The grocery outlet store close to my place has a hundred of those brand bags.
