Great review! This is an awesome backpack. My wife and I travel a lot to various international destinations and do hiking on many of them. My travel backpack is the 40-liter Farpoint, but I take the 20-liter Daylite Plus (emptied out) in my carry-on bag and use it for the hikes. It is great for carrying the camera, hiking poles, hydration pack, snacks, light jacket and towel.
Really good review. I own this pack and have taken it on several vacations and hikes. This review absolutely captures the details of the pack . It quickly became my favorite daypack!
Great review, think I bought mine for the same reason of being more intentional with what I pack. I was surprised to learn it can hold my 16 inch M1 laptop, just not without a case.
Good review, dont actually need this new model as I have had one for about 8 years now, use it for my everyday pack either with a laptop or now my Samsung S8 ultra tablet in the sleeve and as motorbike travel backpack with a 3l osprey waterbladder. Everything on the bag is still 100% functioning. Very satisfied with it. Hope that you will enjoy yours as well ,🤙
Thank you for this review, I really like this one but I wonder if it can work as a travel bag as well for storing grocery food items. I don't care about the computer part, I'm worried if it will fit :/
Thanks for the review! How would you compare the back ventilation & sweat resistance of this pack versus the Hikelite or any equivalent bag with an AirSpeed framed back?
@@YankeeTankerOutdoors I really love the airspeed on my Stratos 36 so that's why I was leaning towards the Hikelite 18 as a day pack, but I find the Hikelite is too narrow and structured to fit my camera gear comfortably. It may still be worth keeping though over the Daylite Plus for summer hiking in the heat.
I have it and for some reason to me it feels like it is smaller than 20L. tbh must just be the design of the pack. I have other 20L backpacks and somehow this feels smaller than those, not as packable for some reason although might just be me
@@YankeeTankerOutdoors Thank goodness! Taking the older Daylite Plus to Disneyland had our water bottles sliding out on rides, which was not only an inconvenience, but also dangerous. Glad Osprey finally fixed them!
Unisex bag with shoulder straps designed for women. The center strap is too high up on mens' chests. Near the neck. Not comfortable. I like the bag, but will have to buy a non unisex bag. Or grow some boobs so I can be happy the shoulder straps come no where near my chest. This bag is best suited to smaller men and women.

It’s becoming mine as well. Thanks for watching.
I think I'm gonna get this one, the prices are great now it's 65 € in France

The front pouch on your pack do you have to undo the strap in order to open the backpack up ?
no

what do you think? its apples and oranges.. you will sweat with this pack more than you would.

@@stephenartnermusic I really like having the talon 22 for camera hikes.

Hi, how do you know the capacity listed (20L) is only the main compartment? It might be all the pockets added together.
Yeah, that's the way it usually works: all pockets added together.
Great review. Thanks !
Great review! Picked up one yesterday for a big international trip
I’ve been using mine a lot for a daily.

It’s thinner. Not as wide as some other 20 l packs.
Are the water bottle holders no longer trash (like the older Daylite and as you know, the Hikelite)?
no they are solid now

Can it be use to air travel as hand carry ?
Yes small enough
Nice video
What camera insert do you use?
Oddly enough I just did a video on this : th-cam.com/video/El6NtOI2NxQ/w-d-xo.html
Is this good for your back? Is is expansive? Is it waterproof? Where did you buy this? L?
It’s comfortable. Not waterproof. Water resistant. Use the backcountry.com or REI.com links below

You aware the chest strap slides up and down at the shoulder straps?
@@johnragan7123 Yes. It's still a chick pack.
