Osprey Daylite Duffel Bag 45

The Osprey 45L Duffle offers nice versatility between a duffle and a backpack. The top of the duffle bag is slightly padded to provide some cushion to your back when using it as a backpack. All the extra pockets are on the outside of the bag, leaving the inside roomy and ready to you to pack in all your stuff. The zipper pull tabs are a good size to aid in easy access and the water bottle pocket is good for a medium size bottle. Anything bigger than about 24 oz would likely be too wide. The duffle straps have a comfortable padded feel and there is a sturdy handle at the top of a bag when used as a backpack giving you many ways to carry the bag.

This is the first compelling offering that Ive seen that functions well both as a backpack and a duffel. This 45L bag is the perfect size for a long-weekend. This bag has a really impressive build quality and the fabric, stitching, straps, etc all feel top-notch. Even loaded up, it is very comfortable as a backpack. I liked this bag so much, I also bought a larger version! Highly recommend!

Okay, the colors not the greatest, but its built with care, and built like a tank. Plenty of room for a weekend away. It should last a couple decades and if it doesnt Osprey has the best warranty of any of the outdoor gear merchants.

Top quality duffel bag with great design.

I love that I can wear this as a back pack or a duffel bag! Great size for a weekend trip! Just the right number of pouches!

I gave up on Osprey after buying enough products that didnt match up to the image they were selling, whether because of false (AND STUPID!) color choices--like blue for black and green for grey--or material quality--the appearance of thick padded nylon coming back as this scrunchy wad of a bag, some of which I put holes in with there FIRST USE! I can confirm this bag is BLACK(!) as advertised and made with a good solid cushion, much like the porter series (which is a solid product). Really stands out from what, in my opinion, is the horrible design of other bags in the daylite series.

Just not for me.

Seems like a sturdy product. I used it to transport a wicked edge knife sharpener and several GUARDED knives. Transporting them after sharpening was a problem as one knife cut right through the side of the bag and into my leg. Use some common sense when packing this bag and it should last you a very long time. The bag has no form of its own so it will take whatever shape you pack it with. This aspect makes for a very compact fold-up but it will be lacking if partially packed with heavy items.

Real nice Ice and roomy. Glad I bought this for my impending trip our of the country. Easy to pack for return purchases or to backpack my carry on.

I was excited to see that Osprey had come out with a line of elegant simple duffle bags. Ive been a huge fan of Osprey for years, they have created well-designed travel products and also amazing backpacking backpacks. The Daylight Duffles are a great lightweight duffle bag perfect for short trips or for a run to the gym. They arent overbuilt, just a large main compartment and two smaller zippered pouches on the end and side including one with a clip for your keys. As with nearly all Osprey bags it can be used as a backpack but also works well as a normal duffle bag. I love that the Daylight is made from recycled materials although you would never guess as they seem incredibly durable and functional. I was excited to get all 3 sizes, 60L, 45L, and 30L to always have the right one for need. The 30L is great for a quick day trip or taking to the gym, the 45 is good for an overnight trip and the 60 is the perfect size for a quick weekend trip. They also nest easily for easy storage. Im also assured by Ospreys guarantee to repair for free any damage or defect in the product. It is great to have the knowledge that my new favorite bag will be with me for the long term. Couldnt be happier with Osprey as a company and these bags.
