Osprey Daylite Plus Pack vs REI Co-op Flash 22 Print Pack

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

However, it is surprisingly comfy, giving you good support when you're carrying your items with you. Even though it offers minimalistic features, this...

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

The side pocket is several inches shorter. This is enough of a difference that when I pick up the pack, my water often falls out.

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...

But if you do have the trekking poles attached to the package so you can't expect the pack is, sit up very nicely. Alright, so now that this is fully ...

-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

Now the old Flash 22, you could actually detach the straps but on this version you can't and see it does the same same thing on this side. You can tuc...

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...

The main compartment itself was deep and voluminous having a simple cinch that efficiently closed it up, protecting the contents from accidental spill. It did take me a minute to figure out how to work it but once I realized I didn’t need to press a tab and it closed and opened by simply pulling on the cinch string, getting in and out of the main compartment was a breeze. I loved the bungee that held my hiking poles in place. Attaching my poles was pretty easy and they felt pretty secure

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 originally bought this to keep in my personal carryon for flight to Turkey but may just use this for my carryon! The zippers are sturdy and the fabric durable. It comes in lots of colors but I like what I ordered/received. I highly recommend.
