Daylite Cinch Backpack, Black

This is a perfect, lightweight, backpack for hiking. The material is durable and it’s large enough to carry a water flask, light jacket and a snack. I like the drawstring option better than a zipper. The padding on the straps are comfortable enough for a long hike. When empty, it folds down small enough to store anywhere. 100% recommend.

Solid,easy to load pack for day trips or around town on bikes.

This has quickly become my go to daypack. The Osprey Daylite Cinch is lightweight, simple, and surprisingly functional for its size. The cinch closure makes it easy to open and close quickly, but it still feels secure when tightened. It is perfect for short hikes, travel days, stadium visits, or just carrying essentials around town. The Moody Burgundy color is excellent. It stands out without being loud, and it feels a little more elevated than basic black. The fabric feels durable, and the stitching is what you would expect from Osprey. Clean, solid, and built to last. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and the pack distributes weight well for something this compact. There is enough room for a water bottle, light jacket, snacks, and a few extras without feeling bulky. If you want a streamlined bag that looks good and handles everyday adventures easily, this is a great choice. Simple design, quality build, and a color that really pops in a subtle way.

perfect !!

I think for most people the zippered, 13L version will be the better fit. That being said I liked the idea of the drawstring closure and the color, after taking this on a trip I’m happy with my choice (great, small carry on size for flying, easily fits under your seat). The hydration pack pocket held my MacBook Air but wasn’t big enough to fit the case (it makes the dimensions a little too wide), note that removing the laptop (or tablet) may mean you need to take something else out of the bag as the drawstring mouth can be less wide depending on how you packed the top of the bag. Other than that I fit a change of clothes, small camera bag, headphones, and a few other things in this as a carryon. Water bottle got attached via carabiner on the front straps so I didn’t need to hold onto it all the time. The front pocket was deep and useful for small items though when the bag is full things towards the bottom can feel lost for a bit due to this. I like the extra 2L over the zippered Daylight bag and am happy with my purchase, but saws mentioned before think most will be better off with the zipper version unless you specifically want the drawstring or other aspects of this bag.

This is too small for camping, but perfect for a day in the woods, beach or park! It weighs almost nothing, is weather proof in a light drizzle and can hold a water bag (CamelBak style bladder) and enough food for a picknick along with a sweat shirt or medium jacket and your usual day trip things. I've used it as a carry on bag as well, but it's a top loader only which isn't ideal for flying. More outside pockets and side access are needed for flying. But it's a great bag for just about everything else. You can very easily add shock cord to the back if you want to strap your jacket to the outside as they have included very strong attachment points for that.(They should have included the cord!) You can also add on a few MOLLE style pouches with a little bit of creativity. Just remember that it was designed to be a small lightweight bag for just the essentials, to be extremely comfortable all day. Osprey knows what they are doing. Highly recommend this one!

Great little bag. Compact and light but spacious enough for the essentials. I use this for mountain biking and it was perfect.

amazing, just wow amazing , its awesome, !!!
