I’m very pleased with the Daylite bag. It’s compact and lightweight, but still big enough to carry all your daily essentials, including a water bottle, wallet, keys, phone, small coat or jumper and a few other items. It feels well made, with good-quality materials and sturdy zips. It’s also very comfortable to wear, with easily adjustable straps that provide a good fit on your back. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Daylite to others. The added reassurance of a lifetime warranty is also a great bonus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bottom part against the pack rubs against my back, not as comfortable as other Osprey products purchased. It was received packaged curled over so maybe this affects how it rests on the back

I decided on the Daylite pack as it has a large main pocket, a handy front pocket which is large enough to take paperwork and two good sized bottle holders. It is comfortable to wear with good width shoulder straps, a chest strap and usefully removable hip straps. I love it!

This was sent to me as replacement for my older daysack. It looks very nice and an ideal size for day trips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went on day hikes in Zion nation park and this pack was perfect. It fit my 2 water bottles, sunscreen, trail snacks, wallet and first aide kit comfortably. The temperatures were over 100 each day and the pack was very breathable. I was doing anywhere between 6-10 miles of hiking in a day. It worked out perfect for what I needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Daylite pack for travel--both flights and as a daily backpack for going to work. It is fairly small, but fits a computer, snacks, travel electronics and a sweatshirt or packable jacket easily. The front pocket is perfect for holding wallet, keys, passport or other things you need to have accessible. The pack is super-comfy to wear and fits my smaller frame very well. Would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a commuter-type bag for an upcoming trip to Maine. This was the perfect size for spending the day out and about whether I was on a boat, walking around town, or out hiking in the mountains. The fit was comfortable and held up well in all weather conditions. Very happy with this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Daylite pack is the perfect size for short hikes that don't require a lot of gear. I appreciate that it has a bladder sleeve and the mesh pack to help with air flow. I am very impressed with the quality and durability of all Osprey products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this pack for day hikes and it's a great size for that, however, I wish it had more padding in the straps for when you're carrying lots of water. I also find it difficult to get a water bottle out of and into the side pockets when wearing it.
Carl M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Daylite pack is exactly what I needed for airline travel. I am the kind of guy that checks in the large luggage to avoid the overhead bin chaos. The Daylite can fit everything I need for the flight and fit under the seat with foot room to spare. Always pleased with the Osprey quality. This is the third Osprey product I own.

Perfect size for day out and about. Very durable. Replaced my old one that was 10+ years old.

So light, so comfortable, best day pack I have ever had. Effortless carried picnic, waterproof, phone, water. Stylish too.
Friendly reviewer
I like the size: not too big for traveling around town. Compartments are useful; the inner hydration or laptop sleeve also comes in handy for protecting a book. I had hoped the design would eliminate the lopsided weight felt when a water bottle is on one side, but one time the strap did still dig into the shoulder some, when having a heavier bottle in just one side pocket. The Osprey website was better for learning about features than the “influencers" out there who didn’t accurately show the purpose of the sternum and hip straps at all. Appreciate the ring zipper pulls. Pretty pricey.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it was perfect on hikes during my trip to Yosemite. convenient, fits all you need, and looks cool.
Laurie S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this bag a lot and it’s very compact so made for a very useful and simple and lightweight day bag. My only complaint with this one is not enough exterior pockets - I’d love a 3rd at the top rear like the Sojourner has or one inside one of the others that is larger and zippered for passports and other valuables you really don’t want misplaced by being turned loose in a larger pocket.
