Osprey Packs Daylite Backpack

Although it doubles as added capacity for the Crescent, Luna, Aether, Ariel, Exposure, Sojourn, and Porter series Osprey backpacks, the Osprey Daylite Daypack is a quality pack in its own right. A Spacer Mesh shoulder harness and padded back panel provide comfort even when the pack is stuffed, and a laced bungee panel provides overflow capacity if 750 cubic inches is not enough volume. For a smaller option, be sure to check out the Osprey Daylite Daypack.

Athletic & travel specific
It is small and sleek, designed for more athletic uses than lugging lots of stuff around. I wouldn't use many daypacks on a bike, but this one's good because it is streamlined. I have a philosophy of traveling light on airlines and travel a lot. This goes very well with the brilliant Osprey Soujourner as a carry-on, which is more compact than most 22" rolling backpacks. The lifetime warranty ensures that the quality is excellent.

Perfect addition to the Osprey Aether
It hooks to my Aether 85 perfectly and is a nice addition for making those short day hikes from base camp. The compartment for a H2O bladder is a nice touch as well. Adds very little weight to the Osprey pack as a "side order"

Simple, functiona, trim day pack.
I used the Osprey Daylite day pack on a recent trip to Italy where much of my transportation was on foot. The size of the pack was perfect for day long activities rerquiring extra clothing, water, food, etc. Water bottle holders worked fine and the small outside pocket was adequate for maps, identification, sunglasses, etc.

Osprey Daylite Across Europe
I went backpacking in Europe and used my Daylite the entire time. It was awesome! It was so light, but was able to hold so much. It has a great top waterproof pouch which was perfect for passport, money, granola bars, suntan lotion, etc. Plus, the Daylite will attach to your full size pack. Great Item!!!

Great day pack
I just purchased the Osprey Day Lite Day Pack. It is a great pack. I purchased it to go along with my Osprey Luna Pack and the Day Lite attaches easily to the Luna. It is a good size with ample space for my things. I am very pleased

Suits me!
I really like it! As a 5'3" woman, I want something not too heavy, big, rigid, or long as a daypack. This one fits the bill! I like the soft harness and the minimum approach (no penholder or misc. slots). I can even fit in my Dell 150 (15" screen) with a sleeve inside the main compartment(even if there's not much room for too much more stuff). The water bottle mesh on each side can hold a 32-oz nalgene bottle. This is a perfect pack for day hikers who don't want to take EVERYTHING with them.

Poorly made, inconvenient access
I love the way it attaches to my Aether 70, but the Daylite is shoddily made. One of the waist straps just fell off and the grab loop is also failing. It's also hard to find anything in it because the openings are so small. I've returned it.

Sizing Chart

Step 1 - Pack Sizing

All Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).

Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing

To determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.

ErgoPull

Nearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.

Harness Step 3 - Harness

Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).

Men's	SM	MD	Large	XLarge
Women's	WXS	WSM	WM	WL

Step 4 - Overall Fit

Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.

In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
