Nice But Improvements Needed

By CKM

Pros

Good padding
JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
Lightweight

Cons

Shoulder Straps Too Short

Best Uses

Every Day Carry EDC

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

Apologies for being the wet blanket to the kind reviews on this pack.
I am currently using the Osprey Daylite as my EDC (Every Day Carry) pack. It's a nice little item but I feel several improvements are needed.
The adjustable shoulder straps that attach to the bottom of the pack are too short. Even my 18 inch torso length, the straps are already maxed out and I feel that they should be at least 50% longer.
The side cinch straps help stabilize smaller loads but get in the way of allowing the contents to be easily accessed. An improvement would be to use side release buckles for these straps.
The zipper sliders have a tendency to snag the rain flap.
I won't return this pack but I won't recommend it either unless improvements are made. I am an Osprey fan but this one is a bit of a let-down.

Snuggles nicely with pack

Pros

High Quality

Cons

Best Uses

Weekend Trips

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

Nice bag, but definitely an add-on to a larger pack. I use the Osprey Aether 60 with this to add a few extra inches of storage as well as have a detachable daypack. This definitely does the job. It nests in my pack like a dream and comes off easily, but only when I want it to. I am split on the yolk-style shoulder straps. They are comfortable, but not as stable as I like my packs to feel - very very thin material - all padding.

The cons, the mouth to the large compartment does not open wide enough to get things in and out comfortably.

Overall, a solid little addition to your hiking pack or weekend trip. Small but fucntional.

Great companion to your pack

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

This is a great companion daypack to your weekend pack. I use my DayLite as an addition to my weekend pack,on dayhikes and for summiting. I
purchased an Osprey Ariel 60 in 2005, but I needed a detachable day pack with more versatility than the "fannie pack" the Ariel 60 provides. The DayLite includes hydration capability as well as webbing on both sides to support water bottles. So, if you choose not to insert a water bladder, the hydration compartment is perfect for your map, gloves or even a rain jacket. The padding gives great support against
your back, making for a comfortable fit. Although the main compartment does not unzip very wide, the compartment is very deep, making for nice storage. The outside compartment is perfect for snacks and/or your headlamp. The Osprey quality is unsurpassed, and the DayLite easily attaches to any Osprey pack. Great bag and great price.
My Ariel 60 and my DayLite have made me an Osprey customer for life - I wouldn't hike without it!

Best Uses

Weekend trip

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

Last summer I spent 3 weeks in Europe. I was looking for a small backpack that I could use to tote around with a few essentials (H2O bottle, rain jacket, camera, etc) and the inevitable purchases as I toured the piazzas and other tourist sites. The Osprey worked perfectly for these occasions. It also works as an excellent carry on for flights and weekend trips if you're not lugging more than bare necessities.

Pros

Good padding

Cons

Straps are a hassle

Best Uses

Backpacking
Day trip
Hiking

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

I am an instructor for a wilderness program and I bought the Daylite to augment my pack space and have something small enough for a day hike. It works beautifully when I'm at work and has enough space for the essential elements like rain gear, camera, and some food and water. At home it's a good size to fit books and writing pads for my classes. The only let downs are that the side straps are a bit of a hassle since they aren't buckled and the pockets aren't quite big enough for a water bottle if it's already stuffed. All in all I think its a good pack and suitable for a lot of different situations. I take mine pretty much anywhere.

Excellent multi-day ultralight pack

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

I got this as a gift from a friend over a year ago. I have used this on about 10 day hikes, with the longest being Mt. Whitney. At all times it has performed extremely well. I have found that it is very easy to pack efficiently and balance this pack, which is something I find difficult with my larger packs.

For those who say this is only good for a single day trip, I am writing this review after using the pack for a 2 night, 3 day summer backpacking trip. For the ultralight camper, this one makes for an affordable, lightweight pack with all the room you'd need if you pack light and smart.
I was able to fit a sleeping bag liner, 2 full size ponchos, 60 feet of rope, stove, all my clothing, food- which consisted of granola bars and 2 mountain house full size meals, as well as my bowl in the main compartment.

I only have two gripes:
1)It is not 100% waterproof. It will soak in a downpour and anything next to the wet areas will get wet.
2) Lack of lashing points for external pads/water bottles. I rectified this by tying some taut line hitches, but it'd really be nice to have some good lashing points for external gear.

To me both of these concerns are fixable, and at this price I feel that they are excusable.

Overall highly recommended pack for both day hikes and lightweight multi-day trips.

I bought this great little day pack mainly for recreational biking. It is also works well for my trips to the local farmers market and hardware store. The opening is somewhat narrow, so planning and careful packing is essential.

Best Uses

Day trip
Hiking

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

I bought this pack knowing what I wanted. A small pack that I could use for light day trips or just a carry all for around town. I do a fair amount of hiking and geocaching and have a bigger Osprey bag for longer day hikes. The Daylite Pack is great because I can throw a lunch, camera, light jacket, water bottle or even water bladder in it and head out. If you need to take a lot of gear this bag is not for you. I have had it for 3 weeks now and have no complaints about it. For a light hiker and a around the town "Man" bag, the Daylite works great for me.

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

when I bought this I was looking for a simple pack but I was told that it wouldn't be a long term daypack because it was only made to be used for a short side hike here and there. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm extremly hard on my gear I don't try to but stuff happens. I have used it all over North Carolina, Alaska, Washington State and DC, Brittish Columbia, Mexico, Belize, The Bahamas and Jamaca for three years. It looks a little (or very) drity but some how still looks great. It does work great as an attachment to the Aether which I also have and love. Just a great and simple little backpack.

Comments about Osprey Daylite Accessory Pack:

Can't begin to explain how much I love this pack. Its my "man-purse". I've used it from hiking 14,000 ft peaks to biking everyday. It attaches on my Osprey Aether 85 for backpacking. I'm always amazed by how much it holds. It fits sleeping bag a pad and a bivy and then some. I also fits my laptop and school books. For using it every single day for 2 years i found it's indestructible.
