Osprey’s History

Since Osprey’s founding in 1974, every single product design bearing the Osprey name has passed through the hands of owner and founder Mike Pfotenhauer, undergoing relentless scrutiny.

Attachment to Aether 85
5 Stars
Attachment to Aether 85
I bought this as an attachment to my Aether 85 as a hydropack for day hiking away from base camp. Like others commented, this is a hydropack. I will not be using the side pockets for water bottles. Rather they will be used for wet stuff like a swim suit after taking a dip. I haven’t field tested this hydropack yet, but I’m about to take it on a week-long backpacking trip. Giving it a 4 based on my initial impressions. I will update after.Attachment:The buckle/hooks on the Daylite fit snug in the lower loops on my Aether, but the upper loops seem to be a tad loose (too long?). It will stay in place because the Aether has outer cinch straps that will run over top it. But if I didn’t have these I would just run the Daylite’s side cinch straps (with the buckle/hook) through the Aether upper loops to be sure. It would probably be okay but it’s best to not risk it popping out while hiking. This is an minor Aether loop issue, not a Daylite issue though.Color:I got the the Stone Grey Daylite hoping that it would be close to the Midnight Blue Aether. It’s not perfect but it’s close enough not to be glaringly or annoying. I can live with it.Build:Quality is the same as my Aether. Tough and durable material; good quality stitching, zippers, and buckles. The hip strap is unpadded webbing, but this is an attachment pack so that’s fine to cut weight. The chest strap has the standard whistle in the buckle. The back is lightly padded mesh for venting. And the shoulder straps are lightly padded. Again, this is an attachment pack so I don’t want all the frills of a urban pack. It seems they hit the minimum creature comforts to fit the light weight hydropack category and they still ended up with a quality pack.Fit:Pretty comfortable mucking about at home. A backpacking trip will the proof.Hydro:The hydro pocket is just barely long enough to fit my 3L CamelBak bladder. I like how the hydro bladder pocket is outside of the pack’s main storage pocket rather than instead inside it. This makes it easier to fill without needing to open the pack. Also the pocket has the standard bladder hook with buckle to fit any brand of bladder.

Arrived quickly. Tried it on for size and felt the pack was rubbing against my neck. I was so disappointed because I love Osprey and I love the look of this pack. I also have another older Osprey which is for heavier hikes. I’ve been hiking for over 20 years and I know backpacks will tend to loosen up a bit over time. I almost returned this backpack but I decided to pack it as if I was going on a hike. That took the pressure off of the neck and it was perfect. With that, I decided to keep it. This pack is very well made and has 2 side pockets for water, a compartment for a water bladder and enough pockets to hold your gear. It lives up to the Osprey name and it’s a great little pack for day hikes and will hold an additional set of clothes. I love this little backpack. Osprey also has a guarantee on their packs, no matter how long you’ve owned it. Update: took it on a hike today and I love it even more. Small enough yet holds a good amount of gear. Side pockets hold good sized water bottles. Very Comfortable.

This is the perfect daypack for me. Whether I'm hiking or just commuting, it fits quite a lot while still being a small pack. I'm 5'5" and this still is a much smaller pack than your average backpack. The pack is quite comfortable to wear for long periods of time and is extraordinarily light. I got a 2L hydration pack which has its own compartment. I'm also able to fit an entire extra outfit in the main pouch and some smaller gear in the front pouch. Although this style of pack doesn't have as many extra compartments as the fancier Daylite pack, it has provided sufficient space for me and helps me not bring more than I need. It also allows for easy access to everything since there aren't many pockets. The evergreen color is true to the images and is a beautiful color.

Other reviewers have had problems with water bottles falling out. I've had a similar problem, but only when I'm bending over. You just have to train yourself to not bend over forward while wearing the pack otherwise your water bottle can easily slip out.

This smallish, sort of narrow, well organized daypack makes a great alternative to a regular purse. It’s so nice to not only have room for everything plus diaper bag items when I need them or small purchases but to have my hands free and not have all the weight of my bag on one shoulder. I can wear this pack all day and hardly notice it’s there even with a water bottle.

There is the big main pocket which has a thin vertical divider across it. One side could be used for paperwork or a small laptop (my MacBook fits). It’s not padded but it is up against your back with your stuff on the other side of it so it does have some protection. There’s also a front pocket with a bunch of smaller pockets in it. This pocket is shallow but holds a lot and keeps it organized. It’s a good spot for all those little things like lip balm and wallet items. I keep a small luggage lock on the zippers if I’m going to be in a crowd but an integrated lock would be appreciated.

This bag attaches to other osprey bags which is why I originally got it. I like it for travel to use as my bag on the plane then I can attach it to my porter backpack and have only one bag to carry. It works well for this purpose and means I don’t have to bring along a purse and carry on and bag for the plane for short trips. Overall there are a few things I would change, like adding some organization to the main pocket, but it’s a good bag that’s very versatile.

I was looking for a daypack that fit well, had some structure to it, and could carry up to 7 liters if needed. I own a few similar daypacks, but this one caught my eye.

This pack serves me well on any of my short day hikes. I can put a full 3 liter and 2 liter bladder inside of it (either size fits in the hydration sleeve behind my back, and the other one goes in the main body), and I can also put my rain gear and snacks in the main compartment as well. The top zippered pouch is perfect for putting your keys, wallet and phone or other small items that you need to keep handy. The side pockets can hold a 1 liter water bottle each, adding another 2 liters of water capacity. Even with 7 liters loaded in this pack, it's not heavy on the shoulders because there's sufficient padding on the straps. An elastic loop on each shoulder strap allows you to run your hydration tube through it to keep it handy, or you can use this loop to attach a camera pouch or other small item that you want attached within reach.

There's no need for a hydration tube port because the bladder sleeve is outside of the main body and behind your back. The padding on the back of the pack is comfortable and provides a bit of structure to the pack so it's not a saggy bag hanging from your shoulders. It's a good fit for my 6'1" frame.

I removed the waist belt straps from my pack as I didn't see them necessary to stabilize the load while on my back. The waist belt is removable so you don't have to make the decision of cutting it off or not. Simply remove it from the buckle and store it away for later use. I'm not a runner, but I tend to jog downhill on trails and this pack stays in place. The sternum strap does a fine job of keeping it centered.

I'm very happy with the design of this pack. It's compact, efficient, doesn't look dorky, and it's built quite well. I've put over 50 miles on it already and it has replaced all of my other daypacks.

As I'm petite, this bag has been perfect for me. It's super lightweight but we'll made. Considering its size, it actually fit a lot. I have used it for a three day trip and it fit all my things. 2 changes of clothing and pyjamas, toiletries, chargers, power banks, snacks, water bottle and a couple of books. We did a lot of walking but it didnt feel too heavy with all my things.

Wow, wow es la mejor mochila de uso diario que he tenido, he usado thule, Salomón, tnf, victorinox pero sin duda esta es la mochila más cómoda que he usado por el precio,
Pros
Es relativamente económica
Es cómoda con peso
Los cierres son ykk
El nylon a pesar de no ser reforzado es duradero
Puedes usar una vejiga de hasta 2 lt
Las correas son cómodas
El soporte para la espalda es muy bueno, reparte el peso y no suda para nada la espalda los 13 litros son suficientes para una chamarra, dos libros y una tablet
Podría caber una laptop de 13 pero no tiene ningún tipo de acojonamiento así que si la pones en el suelo se puede dañar

Contras
Él material no es completamente impermeable
Falta acojinamiento para una tablet o laptop
Las bolsas laterales para botella son holgadas por lo que si la volteas se saldría, básicamente es una mochila muy completa y se siente duradera a pesar de lo delgado de los materiales, no es un material reforzado o balístico pero eso ayuda a que sea ligera
