If it didn’t attach to my Porter 46 travel backpack, I would not have bought it for $15, either. I’m glad I have the Osprey Daylite Plus for when I need a small daypack on my travels and I’m also glad I only paid $15 for it. Rain cover not included – this is typical with all Osprey packs.

Awkward, challenging attachment process for Porter series.Attaches to the Osprey Porter series of travel backpacks.Let’s look at some pros and cons of this backpack from Osprey.

The shoulder straps are thin but contoured and proportioned well for most users. Even with the relatively minimalist suspension, the careful proportions of the Daylite Plus are comfortable.

The Daylite and Daylite Plus can be added on to the following Packs: Aether/Ariel AG Series, Aether/Ariel Pro Series, Volt/Viva Series, Shuttle Series, Sojourn Series, Farpoint 80, Farpoint/Fairview Wheeled Travel Pack Series, Farpoint/Fairview Trek Series and Porter Series. I’m certain that you’d never fit a Nalgene in the pockets.

I’m not sure there’s a water bottle made that will fit in the side mesh pockets, especially once the pack is full of gear. The side mesh pockets are virtually useless. The water bottle mesh pockets are also too small for almost all water bottles that I carry. The Daylite Plus does have an external water bladder sleeve, which I think is a great feature, but I’m just not that big of a fan of water bladders.

It does have a key clip to keep your keys safe and organized in the accessory pocket, as well as a couple mesh pockets for organization. I have a hard time fitting the little miscellany that I normally keep in my Talon 22 accessory pocket in the Daylite Plus accessory pocket. If I’d spent $65, I would have sent it back.Īlso, the Osprey Daylite Plus has really small accessory pockets. Using Amazon gift cards I’d saved up and buying the color that was on sale (I wanted the granite color, but blue is cool, too), I only paid $15 for my Osprey Daylite Plus. However, at the $65.00 price point, I would definitely say it was the worst daypack on the market, today. So, what is it that I don’t like about the Daylite Plus? Why would I say it’s the worst daypack, available?
