Customer Reviews Osprey Daylite

my favorite pack out there!!

Best backpack ever!! In love about colors, style, size, weight you name it. Perfect fit for me.

Also brought for me son who is going traveling he need a smaller day bag this is great

I have had this bag for almost 6 years now and I think it's unbreakable. I have overstuffed it daily for multiple summer work seasons where it was thrown in dirt, dropped, filled with weird things, whatever you can think of, then taken on multiple overseas trips (both for day hiking and as a city/travel bag). It's 13L, so obviously it's not going to fit everything, but I was actually surprised to see that it's only 13L because it sort of DOES fit everything. You can strap a billion things to the outside. I can't really remember a time I haven't found a way to fit everything I need in it. This bag has been with me through most important things in my life xo

Love this day pack! It has been on many hikes from Mountsins of North Carolina to trails in Alaska. It is lightweight and comfortable. It can carry two water bottles and I even attach my trekking pole to it. I would surely purchase it again!

I love this pack for day hiking & biking! It worked great in Acadia National Park when I hiked mountains that required food, map, medication/first aid, pullover, and two 24 ml water bottles. I also carried drawing & weaving stuff that I used along the shores of Acadia and appreciated the waterproof construction. I like having water bottles in outside bottom pockets but know that you can't reach them with the pack on due to it being a smaller pack. The material of construction is all high quality and seems to be the same quality as larger packs. The number of compartments (2 large compartments w/multiple pockets) worked well in organizing my stuff. I look for the straps to hold up well over time. The zippers are of high quality as well. There are a few extra pockets & straps with hooks. Like all Osprey packs, it is built with good ergonomic structure to keep the weight from pulling downward. I had wished that the belt was padded a bit like the shoulder straps but that didn't end up making a difference in comfort. The waste strap was fine. I liked the additional chest strap. I struggle with low back pain and had no issues caused by the pack. It was fully comfortable & functioned well. For those of you who like prints & unique colors, I purchased the Magnolia Print in Jubilee Blue. The blue is kind of a slate muted blue. It's pretty & fun! They had other colors & prints I considered too. If you backpack alone, this pack is not large enough for overnight trips. I also think it's not quite large enough for today's high school/college students who carry at least 3 books, notebooks, computer, & backpack. It may be fine for elementary students if their 3-ring binder fits.

Great product, comfortable on the back, great price for value, lots of places to attach things like carabiners, helmets, water bottles, sturdy. Keep it close, my family has had to buy 4 since we all kept stealing the only one!

Bought at least 15 bags, they are nurses that love to hike they love it!!! I wish other color be on sale so I can buy more,

It's a gift for my wife. The Daylite looks great, is lightweight, has good space for ocassional hiking and perfect to be a secondary backpack for camping for us (small stuff). Pretty good constructed. That's what we need in our location.

I purchased this bag earlier this week after being on the lookout for one for awhile. I found it small at the start but there is lots of room for a jacket, drinks, and lots more.

Osprey nails all the details in this simple daypack. I've used one of these for the past decade or so - hiking, biking, trail work days, outdoor concerts, travel, and days at the park with kids. Love the simple, functional design - very comfortable carry, great zippered pockets, good weight and capacity for day use, and pretty durable. I also like the fact the hydration reservior is not in the main compartment with my gear - protects against leaks and leeaves more room for gear in the main compartment. Highly recommended!

The backpack is great for my use--short walk to work. I do have to say that I ordered the Stone Grey, but to me it looks more like a shade of green. The color is hard to distinguish online, so I'm not sure if they sent me the wrong color. Does anyone else think the Stone Grey looks like a shade of green?

I have had this pack for about 5 years now and I absolutely love it. Works great for everything from short day hikes, to traveling, exploring various sites and musuems. Allows me to carry some snacks, binoculars, clothes, various gear for camping and hiking, whatever I may need for whatever adventure I go out that day for. I have also used it for cycling to carry a change of clothes, extra water, food, misc. gear. This is the perfect goto bag for doing whatever. not bulky, not heavy, super durable and incredibly comfortable even when completely stuffed with gear. easy to adjust so if your in a t shirt or a bulky jacket in seconds its fitting securely and comfortably. The side pockets for water bottles work great , have used bottles as simple as store bought plastic water bottles( Poland spring , etc. ) to 20oz insulated kleen canteen bottles with no worries.

This bag is great for what it was designed for! I dont understand the negative reviews. This is an add-on bag that attaches to a main backpack. It carries a hydration bladder perfectly. Those are not water bottle holders on the outside - they are meant to stash small items you need access throughout the day - like snacks or a bandana. It's lightweight and rugged. I've used mine a lot for over 2 years and it still looks like new. I wear it daily during summer as a daypack (I'm a summer camp director) and 2-3 weekends a month it goes camping with me (Boy Scout and Girl Scout camping trips - about half of those it's used as the added on bag it was made to be). I love the small pocket on front because small stuff like knife, lighter, and headlamp don't get lost amid other things and can be retrieved quickly.

I am a guide and have used this pack every day for 2 years. It's fantastic! It holds all the essentials I need for a day at work and fits comfortably on my back and shoulders. I can easily fit a .75L or a 1L CamelBak bottle in the side pockets easily without them sliding out. My biggest disappointment about my pack is that after 2 years of constant use it has faded slightly...but I guess that's understandable with the hours it's spent in the sun.

This is a fabulous day pack for travel or around town. I use this pack as a companion piece to my Osprey 46L which I can attach it to. I also use the Daylite for hydration which is perfect for treks. If you are looking for something that you can stuff android to the "gills" this is not the pack for you. I am a minimalist and for scooting out and about during the day when traveling thru cities and local areas it works perfectly. This pack is not designed for long term, high volume packing inside. You want an say on the go day pack - go for this one!

I have the Daylight Plus, and it's a great daypack. Just want to ditto the comments about the web pockets being inadequate for water bottles, though I now carry a 70 oz. Camelbak hydration reservoir which it accommodates very nicely.

I initially bought this pack prior to embarking on a larger thru-hike with side tracks that would only require a smaller pack. It was ideal for the job as it piggy-backed my Aether 70 thanks to Osprey's design team who included an attachment loop system in the 70. Now off the track, I find myself using the Day Lite for day-to-day activities, leaving my pockets clear and me hands-free. Its functionality is great and is very good value for money.

I've had this pack for about 3 years now and it is my absolute favorite. Whether I am going to work or out hiking, this is the pack that I use. When I hike, it's usually for a long day and I typically bring some cooking gear and my hammock. This pack is able to fit it all while still being a lightweight bag and relatively small. This pack is big enough to fit my laptop in the sleeve as well. The only thing that I do not like about it is how small the side mesh pockets get when the bag is close to full capacity. if I have larger items in the pack, I can't quite fit my 1L Nalgene in the pocket. But the fix to that is to clip it into the compression strap and then I'll never lose it. Overall, this is an ideal pack for anyone who needs that everyday companion.

Used for walking and trail hiking.

I am an adventure guide with a company called Vestigo. I use this pack on all my day hikes. It hold everything I need it to with some room to spare. I usually pack about 9-10lbs and it holds the weight so well. I never feel a strain on my shoulders.

I originally bought this pack because it was small enough to be a carry on for the plane. I've had it about a year now, its been with me hiking though mountains, the desert, and the ocean. It's my go to pack for birdwatching and day hikes. I am also pleased with the fit/adjustability I am 5'3 and plus size. Materials are durable and the pack is super well made.

Good quality and the zippers are sold. It's very convenient. It hauls quite a load and but it's a little smaller than I was expecting. A good day back but not necessarily holding a lot of things.

I really like this pack, although I wish the middle pocket extended to the full depth. Very comfortable and carries weight well.

Good little daypack. Can just fit in water, fleece, waterproof and snacks. Pricey for what it is but hopefully will stand the test of time
