Review on πŸŽ’ High-Quality Osprey Packs Daylite Backpack: The Ultimate Choice for Real Backpacking Enthusiasts by Heather Coleman

I really like this backpack. I bought it specifically for cycling and it suits my needs perfectly. The bag itself is very light, the only part of the bag that has structural padding is the back and shoulder straps, the rest of the bag is made from lightweight but durable material. it doesn't really hold its shape so the bag looks a little wrinkled when not fully packed, but that's the price you pay for a lightweight bag. When the bag isn't packed there are some adjustable buckle straps that can be trimmed to give the bag a more defined shape and it works really well. The bad one has a good capacity with two compartments; The larger has a compartment for a small laptop (14" and under), while the smaller has a keychain and some mesh dividers. The bag has several odd-shaped side rails that can be used to store water bottles and more. They are actually meant to be reached by hand when carrying your bag, not water bottles as the bag has a hydration bladder. I have used nets to hold my phones, power bank and travel charger while I travel. Fitting a large water bottle is a bit fiddly, but not impossible. It also has sternum and waist straps, which thankfully are detachable when not in use. The back of the bag is very sweat-resistant. Foam and mesh that do not absorb sweat and therefore dry very quickly, the straps are also made of very porous mesh (so porous that it is almost transparent) which allows sweat to dry very quickly. My only criticism has to do with how the shoulder straps were configured at the top. When I tighten the shoulder straps, the top of the straps where the straps converge kinda cuts into my neck. The obvious solution is to loosen the straps so the bag falls down a bit, but I like to wear bags high on my back so they don't tangle around my pant belt. However, it depends on the shape of your shoulders and how high you like to carry backpacks, so it's a very minor issue.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Interchangeable
