Osprey Europe Unisex Daylite

Product Information

You won’t even notice that the pocket is there when you choose to use the pack without a hydration bladder. Tightening the compression straps, in this case, ensured my belongings didn’t jiggle around inside the pack. We found this pack great for day hikes, and its flexible back panel makes it decent for mountain biking as well.

While a rain cover might work alright for this pack, it doesn't come with one, and it probably isn't a great choice for super wet environments. That said, if you are you wanting to pack gym shoes in there, or fill it witg groceries, the capacity may not be quite enough. I found this feature particularly helpful on short day hikes when I didn’t need to pack the backpack completely full. Compatible as an attachment to several Osprey travel and backpacking bags for additional storage and carry options, the Daylite and Daylite Plus are great bags to have around town or as a summit pack.I always loved how lightweight the Gregory Nano 18 Daypack is – a little lighter than our Osprey daypacks. I am a big fan of this design, as it allows for maximum storage space, which is a necessity in small day packs. Aiden first began working with TBB way, way back in the pre-internet days of 2016 after hanging with founder Will in Venezuela. We particularly enjoyed using it as a personal item while flying, because it was a perfect size and is easy to get into.

With the cooling system on the back and the padded straps, it also made our team love wearing this pack day in day out in various climates. If you are doing day hikes in the winter for example, the Tallon 22 allows you to carry more layers and even your backpacking stove. In that case, we would recommend a slightly larger backpack, such as the Kelty Redwing 44 or the Osprey Farpoint 40, instead. The Daylite Plus is compact and relatively simple, even with a lot of useful organizational pockets.Without a front stash pocket, you'll need to put small things like sunscreen, your phone, and keys in the top zipped pocket, which is the perfect size to keep essentials handy. You want to be able to use your gear, and it should be able to handle most of what you throw at it (short of getting run over by a train). A larger pack capacity gives you the option of hiking in colder conditions or tackling semi-technical endeavors with the additional associated gear.

In addition, a small hiking backpack makes an extremely convenient travel bag for days spent in more urban settings. The Daylite Plus uses thicker fabrics, and durable, easy-to-grab buckles and zipper pulls, justifying its slightly higher than average weight. As the leader in custom-fit backpacks, out pack-fitting technique ensures a properly fitting pack that maximizes efficiency, comfort and safety both on and off the trail. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.This minor change makes accessing this pocket without fully taking the pack off more difficult than the previous side zipper. To truly get the most out of your Osprey Daylite Plus, I highly recommend picking up an Osprey or REI Co-Op rain cover! Compatible as an attachment to several Osprey travel and backpacking bags for additional storage and carry options, the Daylite® and Daylite® Plus are great bags to have around town or as a summit pack.
