A notable result is that the pack does lack some structure. One point of contention, though, may be of concern when using the Daylite over more extended periods or under harsh weather: there is no liner, only a single layer of material. Their reputation and my experience with this pack so far tell me it’ll last at least a few years of abuse. It still feels and looks like a new pack. Although my testing time was a bit over a month, I took the Daylite to quite a few places and overstuffed it as much as possible.
OSPREY PACKS DAYLITE BACKPACK HOW TO
Osprey’s been making bags for a long time they know how to build a bag that can contend with the rigors of travel. It’s clearly not a fancy bag, but it will fit in just fine in most places while traveling.īuild quality is a big deal when creating a travel bag. The last thing you want while rushing to catch a flight or getting onto public transportation is your bag to pop a zipper or have a seam rip open. At $100 and made in mass production, I expected flaws like loose threads, messy exposed seams, or other signs of a lazy or hurried build. Nope. That’s it. The texture of the pack, though, is fetching and I quite like it – it’s not just flat fabric but adds character, almost like a diamond rip-stop. Especially in black, the Daylite’s looks can keep you incognito while traveling and even be workplace appropriate. The front of the pack contains Osprey’s recognizable logo up top and a small “Daylite” label at the bottom. My particular Daylite came in black, even though in person it seems more like a dark gray. The bag comes in “Night Arches Green” that almost looks like a blue/green Multicam, “Wave Blue,” and Black. Personally, I appreciate a pack that doesn’t call too much attention, especially when traveling. As mentioned above, the Daylite won’t be turning any heads, and that’s alright. Osprey’s designs are consistent. If you’re going for an Osprey pack, you pretty much know you’re getting a toned-down aesthetic that doesn’t call a lot of attention to itself.
