Osprey Packs Daylite Plus Daypack, Black

I broke this pack in over the weekend after using a couple borrowed packs over the last year. In short, while no pack will ever be perfect, for me this one is sure close! The photo I provided of my gear is not everything I carry, but it’s the bulkier items or my must-haves. There is room for more than what is pictured! For short distances (4 miles and under) I love taking my camera and this pack is large enough I can pop in a camera insert that holds my camera body, two lenses, and extra small items like filters and a battery. For longer distances I prefer not to have that extra weight so I take out the insert and free up space for extra food and gear. I always have my hammock, rain jacket, water filtration system, head lamp, and other small items. This pack allows for all of that plus other essentials I may need. I use the small vertical-zippered pocket on the back to hold my phone so I can access it quickly for photos or to check my trail map. The front pocket ended up being a great place to stow my hiking poles when I needed free hands to climb up rocks. While some may find the nylon waist strap a little flimsy, this pack doesn’t really require anything more substantial in my opinion. I had my dog with me and just put his lead on the waist band, leaving me with free hands to hold my hiking poles. It worked wonderfully. Another complaint on other reviews is that the angled side pockets make them less than ideal for water bottles. I use 1L Smartwater bottles for backpacking and they fit well in the pockets. To keep them secure I just tuck them under the side straps. This pack does have a place to insert a water bladder and I may opt for that down the road if I feel it’s easier. I found the shoulder and chest straps simple to adjust and the pack was easy to get on and off. It has a lot of nice pockets and the backing gives it enough structure that it can be loaded easily. This also keeps everything in its place when filled and the pack rests nicely on the back. I kept much cooler than when I was using the borrowed backs that had no structure to allow for air flow. I am 5’2” with a small frame so this pack is a nice size. I probably wouldn’t recommend it for someone with broad shoulders or who has a long torso. One thing women might want to consider is the type of sports bra they wear. On day one I wore one that had some plastic pieces near the shoulders and those rubbed on me, but wearing a different sports bra solved that problem. Overall, I found this to be a wonderful daypack and as I play around with it and use it for hikes of varying difficulty and distance I believe I’ll find it to be pretty ideal!

So I've had this product for two days now and will update this review in the long term. But so far this is exactly what I was looking for. I originally bought the porter 30 serious but it was a bit bigger than I wanted so I sent it back. I must know that I'm a minimalist and really was looking for something that could function for a travel pack and and every day pack hiking pack, pretty much an all around pack and that's exactly what this is. The size for me at 20 liters is really great. Immediately when I received the item might get a test to see what I could fit in it. I was able to fit 2 pair of chinos, 1 thin sweater, 1 thick sweater, 2 long sleeve shirts, 2 short sleeve shirts, 2 shorts, 2 underwear, 2 socks, 1 tank top, to supplement bottles and tsa-approved quart size liquid bag, 12 in laptop and charger. it was a little tight in the miscellaneous compartments but the main compartment could have fit probably one more shirt. So for me this is really perfect for any kind of travel I do as I travel light intend to wash my clothes in a sink. it also functions as the daypack for me with my tech job being able to bring my laptop and miscellaneous supplies. I'll soon test it out camping this summer. Overall the bag seams pretty quality build for the price. The straps are decently padded and pretty well sits on me and I'm a tall guy. my only complaint and this isn't enough to knock it down any stars as that the front organizational pocket could be a little better organized having a place for pens credit cards etc as opposed to to stretch pockets. Overall. I really like this bag so far.

This backpack is amazing! I’ve been looking for a smaller pack that fits my 2L bladder and more for longer hikes as my 35L Nebula isn’t the best to hike with. As a pretty picky hiking gear gal, I’ve owned and tried a couple of different hydration backpacks before I settled this one. It looks great, is super comfortable, and fits quite a few things! Build: The build of this thing is solid. It actually has a bit of a frame on the back along with a mesh style so the backpack has great ventilation and holds a shape. I love the back because my previous hydration packs had no shape and when filled would end up slacking. This one when filled keeps its shape pretty well. Size: The size of this thing is deceiving! I use it as a daily pack and a hiking backpack and it fits all the stuff that I need. For hiking it’s fit a 32oz nalgene inside, a hat, a small first aid kit, baby wipes, extra socks, a shirt, and a 2L bladder filled with some room to spare! Quality: Compared to my Osprey Nebula backpack, I will say I was kinda worried about the quality of this backpack when I first touched it. The material feels a little thinner than the material on my Nebula but it’s still quality. I’ve used it on a couple hikes and there’s been no rips, scratches so far. It also looks great! There isn’t a bladder included but if you’re looking for a smaller pack that is durable, looks good, and has a design that is thoughtful and comfortable I’d get this one!

This is my 4th backpack of Osprey. Osprey is the most leading backpack manufacturer in America. Fantastic quality, world class product. Highly recommend.

Bastante buena y resistente , la recomiendo para una pequeña salida ya que bones grande , trae el tamaño de una mochila normal de escuela , el color es muy lindo y se pega bastante a lo de la imagen
