Osprey Daylite Sling Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@RonMeleScubaNut]

Thanks for the review. I saw a guy with this sling in the grocery store a few months ago. I was immediately interested and found it at a national outdoor retailer. While I waited for a member discount coupon to arrive I searched around for reviews and yours was very helpful. I have since been using the sling for about 2 weeks and am very happy with it. Your review was spot on and helped me make an informed purchase. Keep it up!

[@rafael86ny]

Thank you. The water bottle and kindle (iPad mini) are my use cases. This was very helpful.

I wear mine in the front 95% of the time. I can fit a 40 oz hydroflask and a 24 oz Gatorade bottle in the main pocket. I've worn it in stores that won't allow backpacks. Great sling.

Great review, i walk a lot in my town, especially to cafes, and wanted a bag i could carry my tablet, phone, sunscreen, headphones and dog treats. Didn't want a full backpack which would have been an overkill. Today saw a guy in coffee line and voila, this bag checks all the boxes i want except for the high shipping costs at Osprey. I hate slings that hug the chest (women so adjustable strap will be good)

Thanks for the great review. Looking for a sling for a local festival so I can go hands-free & Osprey's my typical first-thought. This review helped me decide that the Daylite is the one I need. 👍👍

Kristyne is so cool. That's it, that's all the input I have. I've been trying to decide whether I want this bag or not so I've watched this video several times. Still undecided. 🤪🤣

[@fishnsyd]

Very helpful review, thank you!

[@Two_Names]

Couple questions for you guys! First, is there a roughly phone sized slot in the main compartment? This bag is ranking pretty high for me and my use case. The outside pocket would be almost exclusively for a pair of work gloves, maybe a rolled up lightweight jacket if it can fit, so the main compartment would be where I'd dump my phone and other pocket-things. It looks like I might need an organizer of some kind to secure my phone, multitool, and flashlight. Second, how elastic is that tablet pocket? Do you think a molle covered plastic insert could fit in there to perhaps use like I mentioned previously, or will it not open enough for that?

[@LaSpaghettini]

Thank you for the Video. The strap is said to have a hard seam and damage clothing. Has that been changed?

[@unclegus-vx7jc]

no, it hasn’t, so please move on. ok, skippy?

[@Hg-uq1kk]

Its a shame she didnt review the bag from wearing on her front if that makes sense

[@LJ-fj2or]

How many ounces is the Hydroflask that you put in there? Thanks!

[@GalleyChef-fn3nk]

What size water bottle will it hold?

[@uli-grant1195]

A 32oz Nalgene, but not much else.

[@kinomorrison8004]

The Patagonia sling is much better, it’s tad bigger, and has straps to hold a jacket rolled up on external side.

[@williambhoe]

What is the multi-colored bag behind you on the wall, with blue, yellow, orange and green colours?

[@angieamarillo]

Probably Cotopaxi

[@blablabags]

Topo designs light pack

[@AyoSoma]

What do you mean by full size ipad? Like the base ipad? The ipad air? The bigger pro?

[@timsebold3662]

I'm sure she meant the base ipad. Doesn't look like the mini would fit either.

[@MHS927]

I managed to squeeze an 11 inch iPad pro in it

[@garygallant5390]

My 11 inches won’t fit…

[@matteugenio]

I have one but have yet to use it yet 😅

[@salsalvio821]

And you’re still watching reviews about it

[@matteugenio]

@@salsalvio821 Yup!

[@buiux]

do you know if a 11 inches ipad pro would fit? thaknk you for the review

[@abrahamvaladez6122]

Went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, came in handy for carrying a book, a water bottle, bag of cough drops, power bank & charging cable, hand sanitizer, and a couple snacks and pocket tissue pack. Setup works good for the DMV, jury duty, anywhere that usually involves a waiting room.

[@william63]

Nice looking bag. What is the capacity please?

[@saugatshrestha489]

6ltr

[@clvrswine]

.0001 seconds on Google. Puh-leeze.

[@LP-jn4tw]

She said 6 liters in the video.

[@siyahbeyaz9527]

Why is a sling better than a normal backpack?

[@easternzone7869]

Less obstructive, lighter, easily swings to the front for quick access, more compact profile, can be worn in front a little easier than a full sized backpack……

[@mosulman7773]

Because you don’t need to take it off to use it. Just flip it around and open it. Plus you have to take off a backpack when you sit down.

[@leevitoff]

Could you review the CAMELBAK Arete 8 Litre Sling?

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along. -Eric

[@loum.4377]

Lacking essentials. Must have a carry handle and an exterior keychain hook. Perhaps even a net for 32 oz. of water.

[@mosulman7773]

You can’t compare a backpack and a sling. Very different missions. The Sling is designed to be light and small. You throw it over a shoulder then go out for the day with your wallet, passport, protein bar, and of course your phone.

I can't hear "Pack Hacker" and NOT think "Todd Packer".
