      Comments about Osprey Daylite Daypack:

      I bought this small, lightweight day-pack to carry extra warm gear (fleece or down vest, gloves, etc.) when skiing backcountry all day with no warming hut or lodge nearby to keep the extra gear. The pack is not bulky like my previous one. Drawback is that the outer pockets cannot be tightened so water bottles can fall out when I bend over when wearing the pack. I'll have to use the pockets for something else and use a water reservoir inside the pack.

        Comments about Osprey Daylite Daypack:

        I bought this specifically for geocaching, then found out that it is much better and lighter than my current day pack, yet it still is large enough for water, snacks, lunch and a dog bowl, so it will be doing double duty from now on!

        Nice but straps do not fully tuck

        Pros

        • Lightweight

        Cons

        • Straps Do Not Tuck
        • Straps Hard To Disconnect

        Best Uses

        • Day trip
        • Plane Carry On

        Comments about Osprey Daylite Daypack:

        I wanted to buy this product to use as my airplane carry-on. I like to haul my personal stuff for long flights (iPod, magazines, book, flight pillow, eye shades, etc.) in a small bag. I need to have shoulder straps on the bag for getting on and off the plane but while I'm on the plane I like to hide all the straps so they don't get caught on my feet, flight attendant's feet, etc.

        From the description I thought this bag would be perfect - "Tuck-away shoulder straps..." Well, that statement is only partially true. The top part of the should straps do tuck away but the bottom of the straps do not (note the waist strap can be completely removed.)

        The other issue I had with the straps were that they were very difficult to disconnect for tucking.

        So I did not buy this bag. Instead there was one of last year's model in the store. Interestingly, those straps DID fully tuck away (top and lower portions.) So I bought that bag instead.

        To solve the difficult strap separation I bought two side-release buckles and some 1" webbing and made a quick disconnect for the bag.

        With the modified 2012 model I have the bag I have been looking for.

        This bag (the 2013 model) seemed to be well made and very light-weight. I think it is very suitable for a day-hike or an overnight trip. However, if like me, you need the straps to fully tuck away, this is not the bag for you.

          Comments about Osprey Daylite Daypack:

          I have the Osprey Aether 60L pack and needed extra capacity. The Daylite was just the ticket. Gave me 13L and is easy to strap to my pack. It seems to fit well and load is balanced. I carry my lighter stuff rain gear, first aid kit .... It is fairly easy to detach if I need it for a day hike. So far no complaints.

            I wasn't even looking for a pack when I was in the store, but I saw this was on sale and picked it up. I've used it twice so far skiing (even though it isn't designed for that), but it was nice to have my stuff with me. It's small and light enough that it didn't get in my way. I'm sure I'll be using it for my day hikes. I have an REI daypack that I've been using and love, but when I don't need to carry a lot of stuff, this will be my go-to pack.
