The hip belt is pretty basic and only comes in useful if you need to secure the pack tightly to your back, like when youвЂ™re mountain biking, running, or rock climbing. Plus, thereвЂ™s an emergency whistle incorporated into the buckle, which can come in handy during outdoor excursions. The sternum strap is easy to use and supportive, meaning it does precisely what weвЂ™d like it to do.

Osprey Daylite Plus Sternum Strap & Hip Belt The harness system features an adjustable sternum strap and a hip belt as well. The padding here is the same used in the back panel, which is surprisingly sturdy and sits snug against your back. The curved shoulder straps are nicely padded with dense foam and feature narrow gaps for added ventilation. Osprey Daylite Plus Shoulder Straps & Back Panel Moving on to the external components, letвЂ™s begin with the harness system. WeвЂ™re not exactly sure why theyвЂ™ve used three different brands instead of one, but we donвЂ™t have any qualms about their durability either way. All three brands make high-quality hardware, which is long-lasting and easy to use. In terms of hardware, there are YKK, ITW, and Woojin buckles on this pack. Osprey Daylite Plus Zippers & BucklesДЄll of the zippers on this thing are from the reliable and trustworthy YKK brand, and the attached zipper pulls make them a joy to use.

WeвЂ™ll dive a little deeper into the details about that in the Durability & Testing section below. ItвЂ™s important to note, however, that this isnвЂ™t the most durable material-and weвЂ™re already noticing some small abrasion marks after only a couple months of use. So lightweight in fact, that this 20-liter backpack weighs in at a mere 1.2 pounds, which is pretty impressive. A flexible, weather-resistant and lightweight fabric. Moving on to the materials, this pack is made from a 210D Nylon Oxford. Osprey Daylite Plus 210D Nylon Oxford Fabric

Fortunately, we still like the color, but weвЂ™d like to see Osprey update their online images to more closely reflect what the bag looks like in the real world. This is quite a big deal, as the website displays a matte all-black bag, and our pack is more of a shiny dark blue. We must note, however, that our вЂњblackвЂќ color looks nothing like the website images. Ranging from stone grey to sagebrush blue to primrose yellow, there is a color for everyone. (Okay, so maybe вЂњminimalвЂќ isnвЂ™t the right word, but moreвЂ¦subdued?) Osprey Daylite Plus Color DifferenceДЄt the time of this review, the Osprey Daylite Plus is available in eight colors. On the back, there is another logo at the top and the word вЂњOspreyвЂќ on the shoulder strap. On the front, there is a logo at the top and the product name at the bottom. While they usually tend to throw their logo on anything and everything they can, you wonвЂ™t find that here. The branding on this thing is relatively minimal for an Osprey pack. ItвЂ™s a fair bit lower than we expected, but still a positive result.

And from a poll of 419 participants, 53% said they liked the look of this pack. The smaller Daylite achieved one of our highest Instagram aesthetic poll results weвЂ™ve seen to date, coming in at 71%, so weвЂ™ve been eager to see how this pack would score. However, it toes the line quite well, and we feel more than confident rocking this pack in urban environments as well.

So, after seeing this larger model had one, along with a few other differences, we just had to check it out.Д«illed as a versatile daypack for everyday use, weвЂ™ve put this pack to the test in both the UK and Portugal over the last two months, so letвЂ™s dive in and see how it got on. Osprey Daylite Plus In Essex, EnglandДЄfter reviewing the original Daylite-which is smaller, at 13 liters-one of our cons was the lack of a padded laptop sleeve.
