I really actually liked this backpack because I love my other osprey porter 40, so really osprey has been a favorite brand for me. This one is supposedly water resistant which is a big bonus for me, but I didn't test it out, so I can't speak on this. I seemingly am often caught in the rain so bonus for waterproof and water resistant products. So what else I liked about this backpack: the pockets on the backpack. There are several inside the bag as well so I could easily sort my stuff and balance out the weight too. This pack also has water bottle holders, which is one thing my Osprey Porter does not have. I like there is both a hip (albeit small) buckle and also one for across the chest. The pack sits well on my back and was very comfy even after loading it up.

I could see myself wearing this on an overnight hike or a weekend get away. But after loving all of these features so much, I had to take it back, but in reality it was too small to use for a weekend trip or even a couple nights out on a hike. I couldn't pack both my clothes, toiletries, and a pair of shoes in the bag. So, I returned it and am still searching for the perfect bag to hold my stuff, be waterproof/water resistant, and be so comfy to wear for hours at a time with all the features I want. This bag got many good reviews so I tried it out at home and ultimately, it wasn't going to work for what I wanted it for. Maybe you'll appreciate it more than I. The price was also reasonable compared to some of the other bags I looked at as well.

Great minimalist climbing gym bag! At 13 liters it is really small, which is ideal for my purposes but keep in mind if it'll work for you. I ride my bike to the gym, and this bag is so much lighter than the cheapo bag I used before and breathes so much better. No more sweaty back when I get to the gymInside main compartment I've got harness, chalk bag, monkey tail length of rope for practicing clipping, and a U lock. Secondary compartment has snacks, rudimentary first aid supplies (nonstick pads, antibacterial ointment, climbers tape, lil scissors, bandaids, kurlex roll). Water bottle compartments hold the larger size hydroflask in one and my jumprope in the other. Shoes clipped to the compression straps.My only quibble is that the compression straps are totally ...Ā MoreGreat minimalist climbing gym bag!

Would rather have a loop or two to clip things to the back. But other than that I have no complaints.

Nice pack for day trips. The large interior pocket easily handles a rain jacket, water bottle, and umbrella while the smaller interior pocket holds snacks, energy bars and other daily need items - there are interior dividers to keep items separated as needed. Exterior mesh pockets worked well for sunglasses (glasses were enclosed in a protective case), and small brochure /map if needed. The lightly padded shoulder straps are comfortable and the adjustable buckle straps work easily to secure the pack as needed. There is space for a small H2O bladder (not included). This pack lacks and exterior frame (as expected) and has a breathable back mesh however it does not provide much in the way of air flow. The pack was perfect for international travel as a carry-on and for ...Ā MoreNice pack for day trips.

Iāve used this pack for a couple years now and have taken it on a ton of short day hikes (~6 miles typically) and itās held up really well! The quality is great, itās very comfortable and fits well (Iām a 5ā4ā woman), the straps are super easy to adjust. The ventilation is great and was one of the main reasons I was drawn to itā boy have I been glad to have this during our humid Georgia summers! Sometimes I hardly notice it when itās on. There arenāt a ton of compartments but I typically carry my belongings in smaller bags to stay organized, so I donāt find it to be an issue. Without using a hydration bladder, this easily holds a 9 x 5 sketchbook, my kavu pixie pouch packed full of field art supplies, an extra layer, snacks and even half a Publix sub, a small first ...Ā MoreIāve used this pack for a couple years now and have taken it on a ton of short day hikes (~6 miles typically) and itās held up really well!

I had a deuter light running backpack for years that I loved. It finally started disintegrating so I went in search of something comparable. I thought this would fit the bill but unfortunately I HATE this backpack. The small front pocket is in a terrible place. If you have anything in it, you can't get anything easily into the main compartment of the pack without pulling everything out of the front pocket. It also does not seem to fit right once I have anything of substance in it. I find myself saying "I hate this pack" every day.
I loved everything about this bag except for the material across the shoulders at the back between the straps. Like a harness. Might make for a more comfortable carry, but I often hike in tank tops and am pretty sensitive to scratchy textures against my skin. Never actually filled it up with stuff; might have sat differently when heavier. But I was looking for a smaller pack for shorter hikes when carrying less stuff. Otherwise looked like another great Osprey pack with nice features.
Pros: Storage and organization. love the fact that it has 2 main storage compartments rather than the usual singular, the stuff pouch up front is great for a rain jacket or easy access maps.Fun ColorsCons: NOT intended for small frame women or short torsos. The awkward integrated handle at the top of the shoulder straps makes this bag sit in a very uncomfortable spot where all of the weight is pulling down your shoulders and neck. The back panel is too long and extends onto my butt. When using the hip belt in the correct position across my hips, the frame of the bag and straps even when full tightened has so much extra length that it does not touch my shoulders or back and hangs awkwardly and loosely away from my body pulling me backwards. For reference I am a ...Ā MorePros: Storage and organization. love the fact that it has 2 main storage compartments rather than the usual singular, the stuff pouch up front is great for a rain jacket or easy access maps.Fun ColorsCons: NOT intended for small frame women or short torsos.

I bought the Osprey Daylight as a dayhiking pack to finally enter the 21st Century, replacing my Jansport Superbreak I have used for this purpose for decades. I still wanted the Superbreak's simplicity, but also wanted something with a real sternum strap and external water bottle pockets, with ability to hold a hydration reservoir being a nice option, but not mandatory. I was worried about cutting the internal capacity in half going from the Superbreak to the Daylite, but moving the water bottles outside frees up a lot of internal space. I can keep two one-liter water bottles (even double-wall insulated stainless steel ones) in the side pockets; a full Patagonia Better Sweater fleece jacket (even though for most hikes I just have an REI Co-op vest which saves room), ...Ā MoreI bought the Osprey Daylight as a dayhiking pack to finally enter the 21st Century, replacing my Jansport Superbreak I have used for this purpose for decades.

Certainly enough for most dayhikes. Downsides: it would be nice to have some lashing points on the outside to carry some gear externally, and also it's impossible to take out the water bottles when you're wearing the pack, the best you can do is unsling it from one shoulder, which is not ideal, but still doable while walking. But I guess if you have the internal hydration reservoir that takes care of drinking on the go. I haven't bought one of those yet, so don't know how that affects what you can carry in the main compartment.
I have been searching for a small/medium (smedium?) backpack for day hikes. I like to take my dog on 2-4 mile hikes and this is the perfect size for both our water bottles and all of her dog essentials. I go to the office once a week and this fits my 13 in laptop perfectly with enough space for my mouse, headset, and small belt bag. This bag will get lots of love and I love the color options!I tried this on in store before ordering the color I wanted and Iām a plus size 5ā7 and this fits my frame just fine. The chest strap has plenty of room. My one caveat is I can buckle the waste strap but its a lil snug and could use an extra 2-3 inches to be more inclusive. However I donāt think Iāll really need to use the waist belt since I wonāt be carrying a lot of weight ...Ā MoreI have been searching for a small/medium (smedium?) backpack for day hikes.

I had a smaller Osprey pack that I used for many years (8-9) for chaperoning trips, hiking, overnight backpacking, travel adventures, planes, and scuba diving activities. I loaned it to my son for a Scouts High Adventure trip that came back with a hole. It happens, the material was super lightweight (flashpack type). So I decided to go with this one to replace it. Itās thicker and a more durable material as well as very water resistant (the one thing I had always wished my old one had). Took it to chaperone on a 16 hour band completion this past weekend and it exceeded my expectations. It poured almost all day and my belongings were super dry. Wore it almost the entire 16 hours (except when inside the stadium for the very short time to watch our schools performance ...Ā MoreI had a smaller Osprey pack that I used for many years (8-9) for chaperoning trips, hiking, overnight backpacking, travel adventures, planes, and scuba diving activities.

Wore it almost the entire 16 hours (except when inside the stadium for the very short time to watch our schools performance because of clear bag policy). It never chafed, weight was evenly distributed with no backache, I was able to keep a ton of necessities for the day with easy convenience finding and getting to everything. Stash pocket was useful for throwing my rain jacket and pants in during the brief time it let up. Grab handle on the back was awesome and sturdy -loved that, and I didnāt have any issues with it bothering my back or neck. No issues with the chest strap either, maybe people donāt realize that they slide down on the piping to sit lower? Also the webbing and breathability on the back and arm straps was awesome in the steamy wet hot weather, worked like a charm. Iām a 5ā9ā 188lb. 40D woman and cinched up the fit and was super comfortable and felt like I wasnāt wearing anything. I was happy I went with the Daylight Plus after all (was really on the fence between this and the Daylight), after this trip I knew I made the right choice.
