Our new updated Daylite vs Daylite Plus video: th-cam.com/video/mE97fuJq4-8/w-d-xo.html Osprey has made some changes to these backpacks since this video was first released and our new comparison video covers all the new details!
Thanks for the video! I'm a dirt biker and decided to go with the Daylite for the lighter weight and smaller size. I haven't found many other day packs as light as the Osprey Daylite. The Camelbak MULE is also light but pretty expensive. My current Targus bag is 4lbs so it'll be nice to shed the 3lbs when I switch to the daylite.
I have an osprey questa which is scuffed after a couple of hikes and I'm looking at the daylite. Thank you for your comprehensive review. The deeper bottle pockets and presence of ext stash pockets are a deal breaker for me. We have muddy rainforest terrain that's not always suitable to set down backpacks to retrieve something like repellent or a snack. I'm partial to Osprey for the great fit and loved my old style Talon that served me well over time, outlived my Northface and Jack Wolfskin. I think the Questa is more suited as a work or sch laptop bag not for outdoors.
I have the day lite , and it's always. I'm a 5'8" male , all my things fit inside. For adventures I care an extra pair of socks I stack in the side pockets for water bottles, I do that to dry them off after washing. I like the size alot, if it was bigger I wouldn't want it. Big backpack encourage over packing and look more dorky, with less mobility to run 🏃♂️, climb or walk in urban environments.
An ok review but has two key failures. You state both packs have side pockets meant for water bottles. This isn't true. On the original daylite they were not designed to hold water bottles and were only described as stash pockets on the Osprey website. On the newer version of the daylite and on the daylite plus they have been redesigned to be larger and able to hold water bottles and are described as such by osprey. Second you don't highlight that these are meant as attachable day packs for compatible Osprey hiking packs. You just have one small throwaway comment at the end that could be easily missed and don't show the attachment features at all. I use mine to attach to my Aether for longer hikes as well as a stand alone day pack. There are several Osprey day packs that are better standalone day packs.
Sweaty back and wet shirts? Does anyone have any comments on the backpack's ability to avoid the problem of a sweaty back and uncomfortable cold wet shirt when stopping for a break? The video was very helpful in pointing out the netting and 'ventilated' panel...but is it effective?
been considering TNF Jester, Rodey, Vault and Osprey Daylite Travel Pack...quite hard to make a decision😵. I would like to find backpack which is suitable for one or two-day hiking and daily use (e.g. go to the gym)
Great review, I ordered the Daylight Plus as I need the additional space for myself and my 2 sons when we go mountain biking at a bike park near our home!
Not the best idea. What this review fails to mention is that these are designed as attachable day packs for the larger Osprey hiking packs. There are several better destined stand alone day packs made by osprey including one designed specifically for mountain biking. I have the daylite and the mountain biking pack. The mountain biking pack is a little more expensive but comes with a hydration bladder, a better hip belt which is definitely needed for biking and several other features that are mountain biking specific so the extra cost is definitely worth it.
Why would they even put that pocket there is it can’t fit a normal bike helmet or a normal pair of sneakers. All they has to do was make it just a little more expandable. That was a massive design mistake and makes me want to pass this pack up for something with those features but designed properly.
From the video when you've put in the 13inch laptop to the daylite plus bag compared to the daylite bag looks like it had more room for a 15inch laptop?
Yes it can. I have carried a 15" laptop in the slip/sleeve without issue. Depending on the weight and what else you are carrying, it can push the limits of what it comfortable but it will fit.
The plus is the only way to go. The regular Daylite's laptop sleeve is small and not padded so useless. It's a lot smaller 13l witch can be nice but the plus is 20l and weights just a few ounces more so why not go for the extra space? Also the shove it pocket is nice for documents or a cheap jacket, although it's not secured. I don't see any reason for the regular Daylite...
Because it's lighter weight. And considering these are designed as attachable add-ons to Osprey hiking packs (which this review very poorly fails to mention) that can be a very important feature. If you are buying a day pack for carrying a laptop you are looking at the wrong one buying this one. This is meant primarily for hiking with the ability to use as stand alone as secondary. There are lots of day packs designed specifically for stand alone use around town.

Try them at a store. I went in to get a Osprey Daylite and ended up getting a Daylite Plus. Daylite Plus is the perfect day backpack for me.

The grab handle is that shape so it can go over the handle of a rolling suitcase for easier travel.
These packs are almost completely different now, and most changes were for the worse. The only improvement was to the hydration pass-though on both.
Wow, incredibly thorough. This helped immensely!

I am wondering exactly how wide the laptop sleeve is on the NON-plus? Could it fit a macbook 14"?
What size bladder can the daylite plus hold?

I still find myself sweating under the shoulders straps with the daylite, it does wick away moisture though somewhat
Excellent comparison. Super helpful. Many thanks!

This was a very thorough and concise review. Thank you
Where can I put trekking poles
Was definitely a question
That's a fantastic video, great comparison 😎👍
If only there was a brand that matched the functionality of these with a minimal urban look.
Get the black one, that is pretty low-key. But yeah I get it, usually those with minimal urban look are not really functional
Hello can the daylite plus be added to the fairview 65?
Hi! We don't have a Fairview 65 to test but you should be able to use the front compression straps on the Fairview 65 to attach the Daylite Plus
Thanks! I had ordered the daylite plus, and I'm glad I did
Thank you so much I needed a video about this

That was a massive design mistake and makes me want to pass this pack up for something with those features but designed properly.
But the website says it’s made of polyester
They might have changed the materials since this video was made. These are the older versions of the Daylites
If they went from nylon to polyester then that’s crazy.
Another great review thanks 😎🚲❤️🇨🇦
im not good at english
but i can understand
very thx
What is ur first language?
@@Hanna-sf6jp korean
Great review. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
Can Daylite plus fit a 15inch apple macbook pro laptop?
From the video when you've put in the 13inch laptop to the daylite plus bag compared to the daylite bag looks like it had more room for a 15inch laptop?
Yes it can. I have carried a 15" laptop in the slip/sleeve without issue. Depending on the weight and what else you are carrying, it can push the limits of what it comfortable but it will fit.
Yes, definitely. I've used my Daylite Plus as my personal item when flying to carry my rMBP 15".
Yes. And a 16 inch macbook pro also fits. I use the daylite plus as city bagpack and use the hydratation bladder pocket to put my laptop.
@@FranciscoHernandez-lt1bp Does it have good protection for the laptop? Like, around the sides
Difference is daylite looks slimmer lighter than daylite plus
Slimmer maybe but lighter? it's only a couple of oz so why not go for the extra space and padded laptop sleeve?
Very details. Nice
AMAZING Review! Thanks! 💪🏼
