Osprey Daylite Grey/Coral

Great minimalist climbing gym bag! At 13 liters it is really small, which is ideal for my purposes but keep in mind if it'll work for you. I ride my bike to the gym, and this bag is so much lighter than the cheapo bag I used before and breathes so much better. No more sweaty back when I get to the gymInside main compartment I've got harness, chalk bag, monkey tail length of rope for practicing clipping, and a U lock. Secondary compartment has snacks, rudimentary first aid supplies (nonstick pads, antibacterial ointment, climbers tape, lil scissors, bandaids, kurlex roll). Water bottle compartments hold the larger size hydroflask in one and my jumprope in the other. Shoes clipped to the compression straps.My only quibble is that the compression straps are totally ... MoreGreat minimalist climbing gym bag!

Would rather have a loop or two to clip things to the back. But other than that I have no complaints.

Nice pack for day trips. The large interior pocket easily handles a rain jacket, water bottle, and umbrella while the smaller interior pocket holds snacks, energy bars and other daily need items - there are interior dividers to keep items separated as needed. Exterior mesh pockets worked well for sunglasses (glasses were enclosed in a protective case), and small brochure /map if needed. The lightly padded shoulder straps are comfortable and the adjustable buckle straps work easily to secure the pack as needed. There is space for a small H2O bladder (not included). This pack lacks and exterior frame (as expected) and has a breathable back mesh however it does not provide much in the way of air flow. The pack was perfect for international travel as a carry-on and for ... MoreNice pack for day trips.

The pack was perfect for international travel as a carry-on and for tour buses with narrow overhead space. I also have an Osprey 65 with frame that is approximately 7 years old and is fantastic for longer treks. I am a man of 73 years, 6 feet tall, 170 lbs.

Got the Daylite to replace an overly organized large commuter daypack from Gregory I used for work. I also purchased the Daylite Plus for comparison (and returned). I kept the Daylite. The Plus was too much volume for my needs. I don’t need a daily carry for a laptop. I have a 24L Osprey Tempest for long and winter hikes. The Daylite carries my lunch box (either a Built neoprene bag or PackIt Classic lunch box (10.35 x 4.26 x 8.26 in.), a few work papers or 9x 11 notebook, a book, keys, wallet , and a few small personal items. I also use it for short hikes to hold water and snacks and a layer.Pros: Simple. Just what you need but not what you don’t. Air scape back panel is very comfortable. Lightweight. Comfortable straps. Room for a water bladder or bottles on the ... MoreGot the Daylite to replace an overly organized large commuter daypack from Gregory I used for work.

Room for a water bladder or bottles on the side. Grab handle easy to grab.Cons: No outer stretch stuff-it pocket. Almost an essential IMO for the inevitable item you need just a bit of extra room, such as a layer or wet items. Would be perfect otherwise. Personally, I find the compression straps unnecessary for such a small bag. They have to be unclipped every time to access the main panel. I guess they may serve to keep foldable hiking poles secure if stowed in mesh side pockets.
