Osprey Daylite Plus, Night Shift Blue
Made entirely of PFC-free recycled bluesign-approved fabric, the versatile Osprey Daylite Plus doubles as lightweight 20 liter (1220 cubic inch) daypack or a large pocket/removable 'Add-On' daypack for compatible Osprey backpacks and luggage (sold separately). The pack's simple profile allows it to serve well as a backpack or luggage storage pocket, but a number of built-in carry features also make it a fully-functional daypack. A low-profile, tuck-away spacer mesh harness and removable webbing waist strap ensure comfort and a secure fit. A mesh covered backpanel provides support and ventilation. An adjustable sternum strap lets you dial in fit and includes an integrated safety whistle. A harness grab handle can also serve as a luggage handle pass-through. In addition to the large panel-loading main compartment, there is a front shove-it pocket, a separate zippered front pocket with built-in organization and a key clip, a small zippered front slash pocket, side stretch mesh pockets, side compression straps, and a padded internal sleeve that can accommodate a hydration system or a 15' laptop or tablet. The Osprey Daylite Plus is available in your choice of color options.

I used this as my daypack for Camino de Santiago, Spain. The pack was light and comfortable on all day hikes. There is an adjustable external pouch where you can keep items such as shoes, wet clothes, or folding trekking poles. I think a bike helmet would fit there as well. In front of the pouch, there is a slim small zippered compartment for smaller items. The largest zipper pouch is also big enough to carry warmer layers, rain jacket, food items, etc. There is also an inner pouch for a laptop or iPad. You can also put in a Camelback bladder and feed the tube through an opening at the top. The middle zipper component carries the essentials like passports, eyeglass cases, etc. The waist and chest straps are also useful. The perforated cushion for the back was nice ...

I want to start this by saying I like Osprey. I like their packs and aesthetics.That being said the practicality of this pack is questionable.First, the pack is very uncomfortable to carry. The mian straps lack any padding. Two of the straps rub against my triceps and scratch then carrying the pack while hiking. I tried every configuration to try and avoid.The laptop compartment lacks padding, and the pack will fall over if set on the floor with the laptop in it.I could see this pack being for maybe a teenager going to their job or someone on a really light hike.I wouldn't carry this for work. As the laptop compartment is not great.Tl:dr even if you want a really lite day pack I advise you spend a little more. The backpack is uncomfortable to carry.

I've owned this pack for about three years now, using it mostly for toting a laptop and other things too and from work and on trips—it connects to my Osprey Fairview travel pack and it is my under-seat bag when flying.There is so much I appreciate about this bag but, for all that, I can't recommend it. It has one, really significant defect that makes it frustratingly difficult to use: It lacks a flat bottom and it is impossible to put it down in such a way that it doesn't fall over. That sounds like a minor thing, but you can't even effectively leaning it against a wall. This makes it a challenge anytime you want to put the bag down and access its contents.(I should note I have the Daylite and the Daylite Plus and both of them have this problem.)I got so ...

I’ve only used this bag twice so far. Once was just as a bag for the beach and another was an overnight airshow where we camped. It was fantastic! All of the pocket space without being bulky. I had a 3L water bladder, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, portable radio, and had room to add items picked up from the air show. This was the perfect day bag hiking around an airshow in the heat. Now I did put a frozen keep cool towel (in its plastic ziplock style container) in with the water bladder, which kept the water cool as anticipated but the condensation was significant. It wasn’t dropping by any means but it was damp through the bag in the corner that the rag was in. That would be the only complaint so far.
This one isn't working out for me. I got it for the main intent of the extension to the Osprey luggage series these are compatible with for travel, which it does, but here are the major flaws:-When attached to the luggage it makes it front heavy and falls over subsequently making it hard to use the luggage whether wheeled or on back altogether-Yes I understand this is supposed to be lightweight day use backpack but it's annoying that it doesn't stand up right when you're packing it, if you have a filled water bottle in it it flops over on one side or slides out because the backpack has no frame to it to hold it up in the first place. Sure this bag could be flattened down and put in a larger piece of luggage but my stuff-sack style Cotopaxi 20L bag would stuff ... MoreThis one isn't working out for me.

Sure this bag could be flattened down and put in a larger piece of luggage but my stuff-sack style Cotopaxi 20L bag would stuff down way more than this one or I think Osprey carries a stuff-stack style one which would honestly for purposes, be more understandable and feasible in design than this one-The straps and the back are very uncomfortable with any weight exceeding 8 pounds I would say. They are so minimalist that they dig into your shoulder and lack of frame just weighs down on your pack-I find the cross straps also annoying, they feel in the way when you're trying to pack things and hurry quickly and I largely use them to secure the water bottle since it falls out due to the instability of this pack but its very annoying to need to clip each time when you're just trying to access the main compartment for your jacket when the stash pocket on front doesn't fit a jacket in the first place-The front stash pocket on the plus version of this is useless ,it doesn't fit a stuffed puffy jacket nicely - would rather have the compression cords. I would say it fits a few small items loosely and they fall out easily, even when you tighten the side straps because it has a wide open mouth to the pocket.- I miss having waist straps with pockets like a lot of the other daypacks osprey has does, as these are great for stashing credit cards + chapstick-The mesh side pockets once the pack is filled again are too compressed so it makes it hard to easily stash in and out a full liter waterbottle-The top pocket with the 2 internal pockets + keyholder is useless. The two internal pockets barely fit a small kindle. I would say they only truly fit a phone, a pair of sunglasses and chapstick and sunscreen. And, because of the lightweight frame design all these things flop out the minute you open the top bag-Laptop compartment is pretty standard and is probably the only thing I'm ok with on this bag-Overall I have more back pain from using this bag (loaded I should clarify though) from the last 3 days than using all my other osprey bags for years-will probably be returning and getting the Talon instead, it's not compatible with the luggage but for the (sale price) it's a much better value than this $70 bag and should be less painful on back and shoulders to use
I'm amassing a bit of an Osprey back collection (Nebula, Fairview, Sirrus), but the Daylite Plus is by far my favorite and most used. It's lightweight, comfortable, and the perfect size with just enough features to make it practical. I've used it on hikes, as our day pack for a family trip with Disneyland with four kids, and on planes as my personal item. It's surprisingly roomy - I even pack for a long weekend in NYC using only this backpack, including tall boots! I've had mine for several years and love it as much as anyone can love a backpack (which is to say, a lot!). My only complaint with it is the side mesh pockets aren't deep enough to securely hold a water bottle and you have to loop the compression strap through the handle to secure it. Minor complaint.
My boyfriend and I each bought this pack to attach to our Osprey travel packs (Farpoint Trek 55 and Fairview Trek 50). We were under the impression that the Daylite Plus bag would easily attach to the travel packs since we were backpacking across Europe and could have really benefitted from carrying both together. While we were eventually able to attach them (such that the smaller pack "kangaroos" on the front of a person while they are holding the larger pack on their back), this was not an easy process. It took probably 10 minutes to actually secure the smaller bag to the larger one; it's not simply a "clip-on" situation like we were expecting. Additionally, the pack just FEELS so much smaller than 20 liters. It could be that the purpose we intended for the bag ...

Additionally, the pack just FEELS so much smaller than 20 liters. It could be that the purpose we intended for the bag was just not a good fit, but for carrying our daily items (sweater, water, camera, snacks, and not much else), the bag was practically exploding! I've noticed in at least one other review that someone else was annoyed that the bottom of the bag is sloped such that it cannot sit straight down on the ground without falling over. I think if you just need water, a few snacks, and a very light jacket, this pack should work well for you. Even outside of our backpacking trip, I have tried to integrate this pack into my life. One thing I struggle with is the fact that I am constantly loosening and tightening the compression straps (for the stuff pocket) in order to access the main compartment. If the compression straps are tightened, it is tough to get anything relatively bulky out of the bottom of the main compartment.Pros (to be fair lol): extremely lightweight, fairly comfortable when not overfilled, breathable on the back, shoulder straps reasonably comfortable for being so thin
Terrific little daypack. I purchased this to basically replace the 15L daypack portion of the Osprey Farpoint 55 (which is a 40L + 15L combination pack that hooks together). The Daylight is only marginally larger in liter size at 5L, but is 33% larger than the Farpoint 15L pack. What this mainly produces is a wider mouth and much less narrow daypack feel. I find that the 15L pack doesn't feel like it can "swallow" items all that conveniently and having a little extra girth goes a long way...An additional note or two. The Farpoint and Fairview systems are the same just men/women's shoulder size, and both can be purchased either as the 55L "combo" product or the two packs separately as a 40L and 15L pack. I actually highly recommend this combination (Daylight + ... MoreTerrific little daypack.

The Farpoint and Fairview systems are the same just men/women's shoulder size, and both can be purchased either as the 55L "combo" product or the two packs separately as a 40L and 15L pack. I actually highly recommend this combination (Daylight + Farpoint 40) for most users for a couple of reasons. Firstly the Daylite is a more useful daypack as it has better pocket structure, is slightly larger and has a more comfortable build quality (the back ventilation specifically is much better if you're someone who sweats, but also the materials feel easier for extended carrying). Secondly the Farpoint/Fairview 40L pack are NOT the same if purchased individually or as a part of the 55L system. The 40L packs sold individually are better as they contain also a laptop sleeve as well as a dump pocket.The Daylite and Farivew/Farpoint fit together decently well. The top loops are easy and I recommend connecting the bottom to the loops with carabiners instead of the cumbersome default buckle system.I wish I'd known about this dynamic prior to buying my Farpoint 55 system...My only criticisms of the Daylite Plus are mainly that I would prefer zippers that take a luggage lock (the 15L Farpoint/Fairview bag does), but this is not a travel pack, so it does make sense that it wouldn't. And also the Farpoint/Fairview 15L pack contains buckles that clip into the 40L pack shoulderstraps so that it can be "front worn", and the Daylight does not have this - it seems to me that Osprey should just make all of their packs cross-compatible, feature-wise.All and all it's a great daypack though, and I do recommend it over most of the other options - especially if combining with a larger Osprey pack and you want to hook them together for traveling - this is the biggest reason to choose this pack over others IMO.
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. It’s 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 ...

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 didn’t have any issues with it bothering my back or neck. No issues with the chest strap either, maybe people don’t 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. I’m a 5’9” 188lb. 40D woman and cinched up the fit and was super comfortable and felt like I wasn’t 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.
