![]() Thankfully, the sleeve is very discreet and you don’t really notice it when not in use. We didn’t use this feature as we stuck to more urban environments during our testing, but it’s a good addition if you’re using this pack in an outdoors environment. There is a sleeve between the back panel and back of the pack for a hydration bladder. This won’t fix back sweat completely, but it does a good job of fending it off. There are horizontal gaps in the panel too, which help with breathability. Osprey Daylite Back Panelįinally, the back panel is made of dense foam that’s supportive and comfortable against your back. Thankfully, it is removable, so you can just stash it in a pocket when it’s not needed. ![]() This will come in useful if you’re doing any rigorous activities like rock climbing or mountain biking, as it will keep the pack tight on your back, but there’s no padding and it is super thin-so it’s not good for much else. There is even a hip belt on this thing, which is surprising considering the size. There is also an adjustable sternum strap with an incorporated whistle, for when you’re out in the wilderness and need help-or to make everyone jump on a crowded train for the hell of it. The adjustable mesh shoulder straps are padded and slightly curved for enhanced comfort and fit. ![]() Starting off with the harness system, the Osprey Daylite delivers a surprisingly sophisticated carry for such a small pack. External Components Osprey Daylite Sternum Strap & Shoulder Straps What we can tell you is that they are all from reliable manufacturers and have worked well in real-world testing. We’d love to tell you why there are three different buckle brands on this pack, but we have literally no idea…other than Osprey’s mass production, which allows them to do so. The side compression buckles and hip belt are YKK, the sternum strap is ITW, and the shoulder strap buckles are Woojin. Osprey has actually opted for three different brands for the four different buckles on this pack. The buckles, however, are a bit more convoluted. YKK Zippers & Plastic Zipper Pulls On The Osprey DayliteĪll of the zips on this things are YKK-an industry-leading, Japanese zipper company-and feature hard plastic zipper pulls for easy pulling. This material does feel a bit cheap, along with the rest of the pack, but it gets the job done and makes sense with the low price-point of this bag. The Osprey Daylite is made from 210D Nylon Oxford, which is a lightweight, flexible, and weather-resistant fabric. 210D Nylon Oxford Fabric On The Osprey Daylite We can’t verify that other colors won’t be an exact match to the online images, so just be wary. Just a note-our black version has a blue/grey tint to it and looks a bit different compared to the online images. ![]() However, if you’ve always wanted to wear an eggplant purple backpack, you are in luck! We like the black and stone grey versions, but the other colors are a touch garish for our liking. We can only imagine that Osprey’s color-naming-department had a tight budget that quarter and cut a few corners by settling upon “real red.” But hey, they’re not wrong-it is really red. Osprey Daylite ColorsĪt the time of this review, the Daylite is available in black, stone grey, eggplant purple, Tahoe blue, sagebrush blue, primrose yellow, dark blue orange, and real red. On the back, there is another Osprey logo at the top and the word “Osprey” on the left shoulder strap. On the front, there is an Osprey logo at the top and the model name “Daylite” at the bottom. However, it’s done in a nice way and it’s certainly not overbearing. The branding on this pack notifies everyone you’re rocking an Osprey, which is what we’ve come to expect from “outdoorsy” bags. We do polls like this all time, so if you’d like to partake in the next one, make sure you’re following on Instagram. While we don’t love the look of this pack, we do like it-and the result of our Instagram poll showed that 71% agreed with us. There’s no denying that the Osprey Daylite has an outdoorsy aesthetic, but we think it’s discreet enough to blend into an urban environment, and it will still, of course, look great in rural locations. A 13 liter daypack described as a “lightweight and versatile companion” that is “a modern classic in a compact package.” This all sounds great, but how well will it perform testing? Let’s find out. In this review, we will be taking a look at the Osprey Daylite. Osprey Daylite In Tilbury, Essex, England Having tested their Fairview 40, Porter 46, and Farpoint 40-which has seen over a year of use across 20 countries-we’re well-acquainted with them and we’ve been impressed with their quality gear at reasonable prices. Osprey packs are available in stores all around the world, and they’re one of the biggest backpack manufacturers in the game.
