Haglofs LIM Airak 24 Rucksack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Streamlined and secure, the LIM Airak 24 blends vest-pack stability with the durability and load control needed for full days on the move

Haglofs says: 

When you want to go farther faster, take the minimalist route. At least when it comes to your backpack. This compact model allows you to keep up the pace while staying safe, dry, and comfortable. It features lightweight and durable materials and a body-hugging vest construction to keep your load evenly distributed. To prevent overheating on the trail, you’ll find a well-ventilated back panel and a Hydrapak TM soft flask with a bite valve for hydration on the go.

Our Verdict

At 930g, this 24-litre pack sits in a sweet spot for fast hiking, offering a close fit without going full-on running vest. The vest-style harness hugs the body comfortably and helps keep weight steady across uneven ground, even when fully loaded. I like the adjustable back panel, which lets you bring the pack closer for balance or open it up slightly to boost ventilation when the pace picks up.

Storage is well judged for a pack this size — the side stretch pockets are roomy enough for bottles, and the roll-top main compartment is clean and efficient. There’s just one hip belt pocket (detachable and repositionable), which I don’t mind at all — it keeps the waistbelt uncluttered, and it still holds a phone or some snacks. You also get a 360ml soft flask up front, which is a thoughtful inclusion.
