Osprey Daylite Plus Pack vs Osprey Fairview 40

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

But After testing the Farpoint for over a year and testing the Fairview for the past few months,, this is what we've found out. First The shoulder str...

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

I don't think they're YKK, but they also seem to have a fair amount of covering to help keep your bag protected. If you happen to get in some rain as ...

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 t...

This just didn't have enough room. The outside pocket has room for a laptop which I don't need. I think that the padding took up space . I looked at my friends Transporter 60 which I really liked for size ( I believe if it is not over packed it could be synched down for carry on size

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...

Okay, so let's say we're on a long track. We're walking. We're walking that for some time we don't want anything on our front. We want everything on t...

-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

so much feels lighter having this. So this is great. Yeah just like you know Oh after like really so and then if your backpack is too heavy it's nice ...

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 stra...

Great backpack in terms of the compartments and extremely durable. I went to Europe for 2 weeks and went through at least 10 airports/flights. Lived the hostel life with it as well. I even overpacked and it was still great

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

And it is the laptop sleeve. You can't access it from the inside. No, it is accessible just by this lip up here, but it's pretty spacious. Again, we'v...

Pros: Very well ventilated shoulder straps and backing. Sleek design with nice cinch straps. Nice size main compartment and mid pocket. Zippers don't snag and seem of very good quality with pull attachments on each zipper(very nice not chintzy)

I had a small eagle creek zipper bag that I added to the strap for my travel documents and a snack, and that worked fine.
