So if you need more water durability, use a product such as this Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On Water-Repellent Treatment. Spray on Water Repellent – as mentioned above, this pack is water resistant.Some models allow the Osprey Daylight Plus to attach via straps to the front of the larger pack, meaning you can take your day pack on longer backpacking trips for more storage and easy accessibility when you don’t need your whole pack. Something that we personally don’t use but is a cool feature is that it can attach to a variety of compatible Osprey backpacking packs. These are great for water bottles and any other kind of storage you could need. And on top of all that storage, there’s still two side mesh pockets (one on each side). This is where I store my phone, and any documents for my trip, such as my fishing license or back country permits. There’s a third, smaller zipper pocket on the very front of the pack. I personally leave this pocket empty most of the time, but it’s great to have the option for extra storage for those days where you are carrying more than usual. This can be good a rain jacket, pack cover, umbrella, or anything else that can be exposed and needs to be extremely accessible. There’s an open space on the front of the pack (Osprey calls it an open-topped stash pocket) that can store stuff using side straps that can tighten. There are mesh pockets within this compartment for organization and there’s also a key fob hook so you can attach your keys to the interior of the pocket. This is where I store things that need to be easily accessed, such as my first aid kit, rope, tissues/toilet paper, phone, etc. The second zipper pocket is smaller but still plenty spacious. This also means there’s less insulation between the reservoir and your back, which you can take advantage of easily: packing cold water with ice will help keep you cool on hotter days. I find this makes it easier to access and you don’t have to worry about repacking in order to get the reservoir to slide in easily. The intended space for the water reservoir is accessed externally from the back of the pack, under the mesh shoulder straps. Plus, this compartment is spacious and I have no trouble storing my drone (carrying case with extra batteries and everything), water, snacks, rain jacket, and more. If you are just going to the market, use the additional room to store produce or anything else you may need or purchase. If you are travelling, you can store your device in the padded laptop sleeve and a water bottle in the side mesh pocket. If you’re hiking and need a ton of water, you can have two water reservoirs, plus two large water bottles in the side mesh pockets. This is just one of the points that makes this pack extremely versatile. This can also be used for additional water storage if needed. The largest zippered compartment has a dedicated padded interior sleeve to hold a tablet or a laptop up to 15″. All this foam makes for a lighter pack too, coming in at just 1 pounds 3.8 oz when empty. This weight distribution is also assisted with the waist strap and chest strap. Engineered for Comfort: The back is a foam framed sheet with center stiffener, which allows for dynamic body movement and spreads out the weight.Versatile: The multiple, spacious, zippered pockets, two side mesh pockets, padded laptop sleeve, and external hydration reservation pouch mean this pack is great not just for hiking, but for daily use and travel as well.One Size Fits Most: The waist straps extends to 48 inches so you’ll find that it fits most users, whether you’re tall, short, skinny, or wide. Breathable: The back panel and shoulder straps are mesh-covered, slotted, die cut foam, which promotes ventilation and breathability in the areas you need it the most.If you’re going to get caught in anything more than a light rain, Osprey recommends carrying a small rain cover or treating the pack with a spray-on water repellent. Water-resistant: The exterior of the pack is made of 210 denier nylon double diamond ripstop and 400 denier nylon pack cloth, which in layman’s terms means it’s water resistant.Plus, they come in some cool colors and eye catching prints, so there’s bound to be a design or color that fits your tastes. They’re small and lightweight, making them great options for day packs, but they also boast enough room for everything you could need. These packs are extremely versatile and offer well-thought-out options for storage and ease of access. My pack was old and too small (I needed additional room to carry my new drone on hikes) so I followed his lead and purchased my pack while visiting an REI store. He was in the market for a new hiking backpack for all of our Colorado adventures and his research led him to purchase this Osprey day pack. Gear Capacity (cu.in.): 1,220 cubic inchesĭerek was the first one to purchase the pack.
