 and I can also open this up a little and show you this compartment can be accessed from this side of the bag or this side of the bag in the exact same manner. and what I have in there is just one of the Ban Quest Universal holsters that attaches via Velcro in there. Okay so if you want to use it for concealed carry, you have that option. Now let's first start in this top pocket

 Okay so on the outside you also notice that there is new zipper poles and I'll move that up to where you can see that. Okay, those are one of the updates to this bag as well. They used to use these little ones like what you see on this organizer I believe that's called a fisherman's hook and it was paracord but if it ever came undone, it was really challenging to use. So they have updated the whole bag with these inside and out so that it's a lot easier system to use

 Now to take one off you just simply slide it off like this. Now the strap is still secured on the bag but this is makes it very secure and holds it in place. The remainder of the strap is held underneath here by velcro. It's a very very strong velcro and to get to that what you would do is you would undo this snap first like this, then you would pull the rope side and inside

 The reason I just want to take it off for the remainder is I Wanted to first show that if you are a huge water bottle fan which many of my friends are, this is available. It's $20 normal off the Van Quest website and that way if you are looking for a water bottle holder you have that option to put one on here. Okay now one of the biggest things when I worked at Van Quest and just people that I've talked to, they always want to know if the original katara, which was a slingback could be made into a backpack by purchasing a second strap. The answer to that question is kind of twofold and the overall answer is no because first, Van Quests did not make a secondary strap for the bag and second, even if someone had a secondary strap, the bag wasn't designed to take a second strap and it would be very uncomfortable to wear the bag and it just wasn't designed on the strap system to hold a second one

Vanquest Katara 16 Review Pt. 1 by LearningToBePrepared

 I've been using the Bankwest Katara 16 backpack for the past several months now and brought it on multiple day hikes when out and about with the family. also for EDC commuting when carrying a laptop and then even on multiple flights for business travel. It works great as a carry-on bag for flights and it easily fits under the front seat for storage. It's a great EDC bag due to its small size and the multiple compartments and zippered pockets that it has

 The next con that I have listed is that there is no dedicated water bottle holder. You could always get the Van Quest Hydra water bottle holder which is really clever, but I find that it's a little bit too tight of a fit on the sides of this particular backpack and I think it takes away from the sexy Mali Look the next con is that because this bag is so small, that laptop sleeve only supports around a 12 to 13 inch laptop maximum. So if you have a 15 inch laptop, you're not going to be able to store in that sleeve and you're gonna have to store it in the main compartment of this particular backpack without a strap. And that's a little risky

 Due to that size, you can't carry more items that are needed for EDC purposes which helps keep the bag light. Let's go over the size and weight. so the storage pack capacity of the Katara 16 is 16 liters so it's not a large backpack. It weighs in at around 2

[music] [music] Today elected your product review of the Van Quest Katara 16 backpack. This backpack came out earlier this year and I've been testing it now for the past five to six months in multiple use cases. So for multiple GAE hikes and then also for EDC purposes and I'm finally ready now to do the review of it. So there's a lot of cool features with this backpack

The Daylite Series started out with humble beginnings, a simple accessory to attach to our larger packs. However, its lightweight, simplicity, durability, comfortable carry and price has proven to be wildly popular, and today their popularity is undeniable. While the Daylite and Daylite Plus continue to serve well as add-on packs for traveling and more, they shine on their own with incredible versatility and are now available in an even more robust color palette than before. Waist: Adjustable 1.5 inches webbing hipbelt. No matter where you go, the Daylite series is backed by Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee.

Switchback Travel

Osprey’s Talon and Stratos above get the lion’s share of the attention, but the Daylite Plus is another viable option that comes in significantly cheaper. This simple daypack weighs just 1 pound 4.6 ounces, has a respectable 20-liter capacity and good padding for carrying lighter loads, and boasts the kind of quality build that Osprey in known for. In terms of best uses, we’ve found that the Daylite Plus is a great match for short to moderate days on the trail or as a companion pack for travel—it’s designed to attach to the outside of a number of Osprey’s larger travel bags, including the popular Farpoint (and women’s Fairview) series.

The most obvious drawbacks to the Osprey Daylite Plus are the lack of support and sizing options (the one-size-fits-all design can accommodate 15- to 22-in. torso lengths and 25- to 50-in. waists). As we noted above, the shoulder straps are thinly cushioned and will get the job done for minimalists, but those planning to stuff in a full day’s worth of gear—including a shell, insulation, food, water, and other necessities—will quickly notice the drop in comfort. The waist belt is also made of simple webbing, which again is serviceable for brief outings but falls short as the miles add up. But as a streamlined grab-and-go option that can also be worn for travel and around-town use, the Daylite Plus (and smaller 13-liter Daylite) undeniably is a great value from one of the most reputable pack manufacturers in the business...

The comfiest backpack I've ever had. If I'm doing a serious dayhike, this is the bag I'm taking.

Sharing my silly bag problem with my fellow addicts. I gathered up all of my various bags and pouches, and it made me realize how ridiculous things have gotten. Might be time to downsize my collection. Sharing a few of my favorites and will add a full list in the comments.

* Osprey Daylite *PLUS* 20L. * My personal favourite so far, but fitting it in my main bag + all the other gear is my concern.

 This is a zipper front opening. Here, it's just a small pouch. you could put whatever you'd like. two water bottle pouches on the sides, and uh, the water bottle pouches are actually an improvement on this bag from the old Daylight Plus

 I'll go over them here and the bag costs 70 U.s or for me 95 Canadian. And now let's go over the bags. So right on the front here, you can pull open this stretch panel

 Uh, I will see the Daylight is a 13 liter bag. The Daylight Plus is a 20 liter bag. The difference is not just right here, this, uh, opening in the front, but also a couple inches in every direction. The Daylight Plus is actually bigger and I would definitely recommend it

 The Daylight Plus before had water bottle pouches where, uh, they're basically cut down lower like this, causing the water bottles to fall out. And so now on the updated version. They've fixed that and made bigger water bottle sleeves and they stretch open a lot so you can really fit a big bottle in there and one on each side and so that's a nice improvement there. Another difference from the older model is, uh, this zipper here on the front is now horizontal whereas it used to be vertical

Osprey Daylite Plus Backpack Review

 I Like these external Cardinal areas I Like to be able to grab things as I'm hiking. you can see it's not very wide. It says why does the day pack and then a tapers down So it creates this little pocket here but I was able to get a variety of things inside there and so you could take a put a map in there. your sunscreen, lip balm, things like that

 Okay, look at this t-shirt It's upside down, the guy's anticipating or the person, the girl or while we're riding this bike Cepeda A little crash there and they're ready to make sure that their bike is okay. That's pretty funny. Number three, sorry for what I said while we were trying to park the camper her weight the wristlet and this is my experience growing up with my dad backing up our little camper. And yes, totally relate back to Number Three number two

 It's about about half way down the pack here. for this pocket you can see inside here there's two mesh pockets so you're gonna put your keys in here. It does have a key holder right here. put your keys in there

 that's the only thing I could think of to do is to click it and then just secure it down like that and kind of get that out of the way. Well, you can remove this strap. The buckle will stay here, see that the buckle will end up staying on there. That's just the way it's designed, but you can get the strap up if you don't really don't want the strap on

 So there you have it: Number one and the number one t-shirt the outdoor t-shirt hiking. [Applause] All right, thanks for watching I got more things coming up, more reviews and some outdoor trips, so subscribe. If you haven't subscribed, please subscribe down below. That would help me a lot

OSPREY Daylite Plus Day Pack REVIEW

-I find the cross straps also annoying, they feel in the way when you're trying to pack things and hurry quickly and I largely use them to secure the water bottle since it falls out due to the instability of this pack but its very annoying to need to clip each time when you're just trying to access the main compartment for your jacket when the stash pocket on front doesn't fit a jacket in the first place

-Laptop compartment is pretty standard and is probably the only thing I'm ok with on this bag 

-The straps and the back are very uncomfortable with any weight exceeding 8 pounds I would say. They are so minimalist that they dig into your shoulder and lack of frame just weighs down on your pack

My least favorite bag I've had from Osprey

 So first off, you've got, of course it's going to be on the other side. You've got a little front pocket on the front. Traditional, you know, hip strap. Should I say just a bit of inch webbing? one inch webbing on there

 which is really, really cool. Anyway, let's take a closer look at the key features. So first off, you've got a nice front pocket on here. It's got a zipper on there, which means whatever you pop in there will stay safe and secure

 Um, there's lots of space inside here using the jelly pouch, the front pocket, the the kind of the front pocket on the top there. and then you've got the main thing there's there's basically there's lots of things you can put in here and organize your kit properly. and the fact that you have compression straps on the side as well means everything's safe and secure. And if you're just after a day bag to go for a hiking trip, so you want to go hiking for the day, you don't necessarily want a massive traditional bag or you want a bag where you can wear it obviously commuting, but also as well you can take it on a hiking adventure

 And so basically this really is ideal if you are carrying slightly heavier loads or if you're backpacking for a long amount of time and you just want to help lift that weight up and make it more comfortable around your hip system. Lift that up, clip that on, tighten now and then. Hey, Presto. It's just going to help alleviate some of that pressure from the overall weight

Osprey Daylite Plus Backpack | Gear Review

 It's also means have to keep more things in the main compartment, all jumbled together.  But, if my deal-breakers aren't important to you, it may be a great bag. The straps are well-designed, and the laptop pocket is padded. I've been carrying my laptop in an older Osprey bag which has a very similar pocket without padding (probably not originally designed for a laptop) and I do really like that bag

 Sure, there's two open-top mesh pockets, and the one on the front, but those aren't ideal for many things. If it were meant to be just a hiking pack, I'd forgive the lack of commuter-friendly organizational features, but it's a laptop bag. If I'm carrying a laptop, I probably have other things I'd like to organize - pens, chargers, cables, phone, bandaids, meds, cards. This doesn't have a single place I could put a few business cards or things I'd like to keep flat, and no non-mesh, zippered pockets to protect things I'd like to keep dry & dirt-free

 This pack would've been great, I mean, it's well-constructed, lots of space, some good features. Unfortunately, it's sorely lacking in inner zippered pockets and I have to return it. Sure, there's two open-top mesh pockets, and the one on the front, but those aren't ideal for many things. If it were meant to be just a hiking pack, I'd forgive the lack of commuter-friendly organizational features, but it's a laptop bag

 The straps are well-designed, and the laptop pocket is padded. I've been carrying my laptop in an older Osprey bag which has a very similar pocket without padding (probably not originally designed for a laptop) and I do really like that bag. The stiff-ish foam backing of the pack makes it easier to manage getting the laptop in/out, and also means the bag looks ok and still distributes weight even when I'm only carrying a few small items.  There's also a really excellent lifetime repair/replace guarantee - I'd contacted Osprey about repairing my rather old bag (which they would, or replace if they couldn't) and, though I ultimately decided to just get a new pack, my interaction with their service team left me with a good impression of the company

Dangit, so close to being great..
