I LOVE this bag! I use it primarily as a light backpack for flights and hiking and it fits my needs perfectly! Quality is great, many color ways to choose from, and extremely functional! I don't require much! Biggest thing I was looking for is a side pocket that fits my water bottles well to where I can take it out and put it back with ease (i.e. not have to fight or struggle to get the bottle back in, major per peece!). The mesh pockets allow my 40oz Owala bottles (even the one with a side handle) to slide in and out with ease. And then the small front pocket is great for easy access to my wallet/ID cards and meds. Another bonus is that the backpack can also slide onto the handle of a carry on luggage! Which makes it all the better to fly with. The chest and hip straps also gives good support too. Also I have multiple osprey bags that I've used for years and the quality is still there! Yep, can't rave enough about this bag, definitely worth it! Read more

Lightweight, roomy, and fits larger water bottles. I picked this up before a family vacation and it exceeded expectations. First of all it is extremely light - so the pack itself isn't weighing you down. For it's relatively small size it has lots of room as a day pack - I used it to carry jackets, sweatshirt, snacks, batter packs, water, and other odds/ends as I visited FL theme parks. And best of all, it fits larger/taller water bottles snuggly so they don't fall out. Oh, and the pack keeps you cool. I was in FL and never got hot or sweaty....in comparison to everyone else I could see carrying backpacks with the visible sweat marks down their backs. Read more

I have not used the backpack, these are my impressions. I've been shopping around for a day pack and have looked at several. I kind of love the Daylight Plus. The green is beautiful, it's like a forest green. The features I specifically noted when comparing to similar items: Quality - excellent. Sturdy and attractive zippers, fabric, stitching. Three compartments, 4 if you count the stuff pouch - Main large section, the cushion to protect and hold the reservoir can double as a laptop/device area when you're traveling. The center pouch has some little organizing pockets, which I find useful to keep small things from falling to the bottom of the bag. The whole space isn't very big, but to be expected for a daypack. The stuff pouch has support on the sides and won't fall open. The clips are good and also allow you to tighten the pack if it's not very full. The small zip pouch at the front is such good use of space, I wish other backpacks did this. Side pockets - one on each side. Large and feel secure because the pocket design has them attached close to the front. Useful when you are not using a water reservoir. Support - Hip and chest straps are a must for me. The hip straps are appropriate for this size, no pockets, etc. Shoulder straps feel cushioned. The airscape back provides structure and support while maintaining a compact design. I imagine this design feels supportive when hiking. I think it's too small for what I need....but I might keep it anyway. I'll update after I've had it for a while. Read more

Great daily carry backpack. I use it for work to carry my office with me. Side pockets easily hold a 32oz nalgene and don't stretch out holding it. Inside layout is just what I need and nothing extra. Holds a lot more than I thought. Easily carries a 14" laptop in the padded sleeve, a zipper bag for chargers and cables, a 14" portable display in a protective sleeve, couple notebooks, ID badges, pens, small first aid kit, sunglasses case and can carry a lot more. Material is nice. Wears well and is comfortable to carry everything in. I expect it to last me and years like my other osprey bags I've tried. Only a few slight downsides. None are a deal breaker for me though. Will be keeping this pack until I wear it out. - I wish the secondary compartment with the organizer pockets had a couple pen slots in them. - The backpack does not stand up on its own, has to lean on something. - The shoulder straps could be a little longer and I wish it had a normal set of straps and top handle instead of the yoke harness.

What else can I say other than it's an Osprey, you can't go wrong. Seriously, I am fan of them, but not so much that I wouldn't write a review for a bad product. It's the perfect size for commuting out in the city or going on a little hike. I use it as an EDC pack and usually have some camera gear, a drone, a puffy, a nalgene bottle, and some snacks. When I have my kids I use it as a minimalist diaper bag of sorts along with all the other crap I listed. Quality is great, no complaints. It's tough and will stand up to bad conditions and even a little drizzle. I also use it as a small personal bag on planes and when moving around the airport I connect to my Sojourn Porter. Functionality is good and its a good value for your money if you want an EDC pack that checks most of the boxes. Read more

This is the everyday backpack you are looking for. Lightweight, not too big, not too small. Fits normal laptops, and holds what you need for the day. Hiking inspired, so it works for car to office or travel. I've had mine for 2.5 years now and there isn't any wear and tear with daily use. A steal for $65. Read more
