Osprey has created a simple, yet absolutely brilliant new daypack: the Daylite Travel Daypack. Find out what features I love about it and why it’s my new go-to daypack:

Daylite Travel Daypack Features
- Expandable main compartment – My FAVORITE feature of this pack. Keep it low profile or stuff ALL the layers, lunches, and water bottles you need, this feature makes this entire pack for me.
- Laptop sleeve – As a digital nomad, this is important for me! A protective laptop sleeve gives me peace of mind while I’m carrying my office on my back.
- Two deep water bottle holders – Big enough for full size Nalgenes, although when fully packed, narrow water bottles will fit better.
- Hip belt straps – Not big padded ones, about an inch-wide strap. I removed mine, but they are included.
- Sunglass-safe pocket on outside – Soft material made to not scratch your sunnies, although they put a key holder clip in this pocket as well, so don’t use them both for their purposes at the same time.
- Carry integration with a variety of compatible Osprey packs – any pack with two outer compression straps can clip through the carry holds on the outside of the Daylite Travel. This pack also has four small hooks that clip into small loops on the outside of the main panel of some packs, including the new Fairview and Farpoint Treks.
The Daylite Travel Daypack is available on Amazon and REI.
Integration with Fairvew and Farpoint Trek
The Fairview Trek and Farpoint Trek (new versions of the traditional Fairview and Farpoint packs that we all love already) no longer come with their own detachable daypack. Those packs were, however, designed to integrate with the Daylite Travel Daypack.
The Fairview and Farpoint Treks are equipped with two heavy duty outer compression straps that cross the main panel. These straps can clip through two carry holds on the Daylite Travel. The Daylite Travel also has four small clasps on each corner of the back panel that clip into corresponding small loops on the main panel of the Fairview and Farpoint Treks (as well as other packs).
You can even get both packs in matching colors!
