Osprey’s History

Since Osprey’s founding in 1974, every single product design bearing the Osprey name has passed through the hands of owner and founder Mike Pfotenhauer, undergoing relentless scrutiny.

Customers are mixed about the pockets in the backpack. Some like the generous water bottle pockets on the sides, while others say the pockets are essentially useless. The side mesh pockets are nice and deep, but oddly shaped.

Attachment to Aether 85
5 Stars
Attachment to Aether 85
I bought this as an attachment to my Aether 85 as a hydropack for day hiking away from base camp. Like others commented, this is a hydropack. I will not be using the side pockets for water bottles. Rather they will be used for wet stuff like a swim suit after taking a dip. I haven’t field tested this hydropack yet, but I’m about to take it on a week-long backpacking trip. Giving it a 4 based on my initial impressions. I will update after.Attachment:The buckle/hooks on the Daylite fit snug in the lower loops on my Aether, but the upper loops seem to be a tad loose (too long?). It will stay in place because the Aether has outer cinch straps that will run over top it. But if I didn’t have these I would just run the Daylite’s side cinch straps (with the buckle/hook) through the Aether upper loops to be sure. It would probably be okay but it’s best to not risk it popping out while hiking. This is an minor Aether loop issue, not a Daylite issue though.Color:I got the the Stone Grey Daylite hoping that it would be close to the Midnight Blue Aether. It’s not perfect but it’s close enough not to be glaringly or annoying. I can live with it.Build:Quality is the same as my Aether. Tough and durable material; good quality stitching, zippers, and buckles. The hip strap is unpadded webbing, but this is an attachment pack so that’s fine to cut weight. The chest strap has the standard whistle in the buckle. The back is lightly padded mesh for venting. And the shoulder straps are lightly padded. Again, this is an attachment pack so I don’t want all the frills of a urban pack. It seems they hit the minimum creature comforts to fit the light weight hydropack category and they still ended up with a quality pack.Fit:Pretty comfortable mucking about at home. A backpacking trip will the proof.Hydro:The hydro pocket is just barely long enough to fit my 3L CamelBak bladder. I like how the hydro bladder pocket is outside of the pack’s main storage pocket rather than instead inside it. This makes it easier to fill without needing to open the pack. Also the pocket has the standard bladder hook with buckle to fit any brand of bladder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Backpack. I love it.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
Arrived quickly. Tried it on for size and felt the pack was rubbing against my neck. I was so disappointed because I love Osprey and I love the look of this pack. I also have another older Osprey which is for heavier hikes. I’ve been hiking for over 20 years and I know backpacks will tend to loosen up a bit over time. I almost returned this backpack but I decided to pack it as if I was going on a hike. That took the pressure off of the neck and it was perfect. With that, I decided to keep it. This pack is very well made and has 2 side pockets for water, a compartment for a water bladder and enough pockets to hold your gear. It lives up to the Osprey name and it’s a great little pack for day hikes and will hold an additional set of clothes. I love this little backpack. Osprey also has a guarantee on their packs, no matter how long you’ve owned it. Update: took it on a hike today and I love it even more. Small enough yet holds a good amount of gear. Side pockets hold good sized water bottles. Very Comfortable.
