Gregory Nano 16 vs Osprey Daylite Plus Pack

This is a decent day pack, with enough room for a hydration bladder and gear for a good hike. The pack itself is solid, and the compartments close tightly to prevent water from getting in. However, the mesh side pockets are not very sturdy. One side was ripped open scrambling down a rock face, which caused my water filter to be lost - not good!

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...

Very comfortable. Light weight, but well made and durable. Hard to beat at this price

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

This is the perfect sized bag for running around town! It is light weight and stylist. The straps fit so well and there is more space inside than it seems. Even my bike helmet fit inside! Thank you for making these plus sized packs!!

I wasn't going to use this bag as a daypack. Instead, I just wanted something that was comfortable to carry things from one place to the other. I am SO glad that I went head and purchased this anyways. This bag is the most comfortable backpack I have ever used and the pockets are amazing

The zipper's loop pull makes it easy to open and close it with one finger. Additionally the orange color contrast does not only provide for esthetics but more importantly for ease in finding your items. Lightly packed, it sits comfortably on my back and the chest straps work as expected. Surprisingly, mine had a small whistle attached to it

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 can only fit wallet and keys but nothing else. Finally, make the water bottle sleeves 2” taller for a variety of water bottles bc mine keeps falling out when I bend over in the slightest.

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

2. The waist strap is a bit useless for me. I pack this bag full and don’t need it at all, so I removed it.

-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
