OSPREY DAYLITE DAYPACK REVIEW PLUS
Some models allow the Osprey Daylight Plus to attach via straps to the front of the larger pack, meaning you can take your day pack on longer backpacking trips for more storage and easy accessibility when you don’t need your whole pack. Something that we personally don’t use but is a cool feature is that it can attach to a variety of compatible Osprey backpacking packs. These are great for water bottles and any other kind of storage you could need. And on top of all that storage, there’s still two side mesh pockets (one on each side).
OSPREY DAYLITE DAYPACK REVIEW LICENSE
This is where I store my phone, and any documents for my trip, such as my fishing license or back country permits. There’s a third, smaller zipper pocket on the very front of the pack. I personally leave this pocket empty most of the time, but it’s great to have the option for extra storage for those days where you are carrying more than usual.

This can be good a rain jacket, pack cover, umbrella, or anything else that can be exposed and needs to be extremely accessible. There’s an open space on the front of the pack (Osprey calls it an open-topped stash pocket) that can store stuff using side straps that can tighten. There are mesh pockets within this compartment for organization and there’s also a key fob hook so you can attach your keys to the interior of the pocket. This is where I store things that need to be easily accessed, such as my first aid kit, rope, tissues/toilet paper, phone, etc. The second zipper pocket is smaller but still plenty spacious. This also means there’s less insulation between the reservoir and your back, which you can take advantage of easily: packing cold water with ice will help keep you cool on hotter days. I find this makes it easier to access and you don’t have to worry about repacking in order to get the reservoir to slide in easily. The intended space for the water reservoir is accessed externally from the back of the pack, under the mesh shoulder straps. Plus, this compartment is spacious and I have no trouble storing my drone (carrying case with extra batteries and everything), water, snacks, rain jacket, and more. If you are just going to the market, use the additional room to store produce or anything else you may need or purchase. If you are travelling, you can store your device in the padded laptop sleeve and a water bottle in the side mesh pocket. If you’re hiking and need a ton of water, you can have two water reservoirs, plus two large water bottles in the side mesh pockets. This is just one of the points that makes this pack extremely versatile. This can also be used for additional water storage if needed. The largest zippered compartment has a dedicated padded interior sleeve to hold a tablet or a laptop up to 15″. All this foam makes for a lighter pack too, coming in at just 1 pounds 3.8 oz when empty. This weight distribution is also assisted with the waist strap and chest strap.
