Osprey Daylite Pack, June 16, 2010
This review is from: Osprey Daylite Pack (Sports)
This is a very nice pack. It is one of my favorite bags! I have had mine for about 4 yrs now and it is holding up great! The only "damage" that it has is where the water bottles are, some of the mesh broke apart, but not to where the bottle doesn't hold, just one or two small stitches, probably from me bouldering, and rubbing against rocks.(and some scuff marks, easy to clean dirt off bag.) Other than that, this bag is able to fit a ton in it and is super light! It also doesn't puff out, so even though it is packed tight it doesn't look it, and that is best when hiking or climbing and need to squeeze through some spaces. On normal day hikes I am able to pack the following into it: (It takes a little practice to fit the items in correctly to where there isn't a lump forming on the back of the bag, so that it sits flat on your back for when you secure it with the waist and chest strap) I have a thin long sleeved shirt, a medium sized first aid kit. A roll of duct tape (since it fixes everything), a medium sized flash light, a small camera, a small journal with pens/pencils, small bottle of bug spray, small bottle of sun screen, cell phone, keys, hand wipes, water proof matches, chapstick, bandana, sunglasses case, power bars, roll of crackers, granola bar, string cheese, compass, climbing gloves, and a few other small items. I then have a light rain jacket put through the bungie cords on the outside, and two water bottle containers in the side pockets. A hydration bladder can be placed in this bag, in a seperate area, not inside the bag, which is great and it seems like it has good lining to keep it cool. I prefer water bottles, but I bet the bladder would work great on this bag too. This bag is great for day hikes, and probably some bike riding/ mountain bike riding, among other activites, I have taken it to festivals too and other day activities and it is great! I love this bag and recommend it!

Good Mountain Biking Pack, January 4, 2009
The Osprey Daylite pack is a nice 750 cu.in. pack perfect for mountain biking. It's a good size for some snacks, spare parts, rain jacket, etc. I really like the external hydration sleeve. Other manufactures require one to go through the hassle of opening one's pack to access the bladder, removing the hose through a too small slot in the packbag, and then putting a potentially wet bladder back into the packbag. Osprey demonstrates that a 3 liter bladder fits nicely between the pack bag and the padded back panel, which allows one to easily remove and replace the bladder hassle free. After my experience with this little Daylite, I'd love to replace my adventure racing pack with something like an Osprey Talon 35.
The only thing "wrong" with this pack is that the lightweight mesh straps (which are really plenty substantial for the pack and its probably contents) often get twisted and rolled as one attempts to put it on. Other that, the Osprey Daylite is a sweet little pack.

Does what it's supposed to., March 27, 2011
This backpack is very lightweight, it seems to be well constructed, and it looks great, I use it for school and I can fit a few books in it just fine, the back has a compartment to fit a hydration pack, I use this area to store my 13" laptop there as it's very well padded and easy to access, overall, I like this backpack.
