Osprey Daylite Olkalaukku

Comfortable for day hiking with room for binoculars, rain pants, small water bottle, and phone

Holds more than it looks. This sack is very comfortable and easy to put on. I really like the ability to switch sides of the strap for comfort. Padded shoulder with pocket is very handy.

A lot bigger than the last bag I had. My first sling bag, it has plenty of space for everything I need to carry.

Great little bag for daily tourist walking. It fit my water bottle, jacket, extra layer and all my smaller essentials. The bag was comfortable 95% of the time, with the other 5% being something to do with weight distribution and how I packed it. The front pouch holds a cell phone, but I just used it for chapstick. I suppose it could have some better internal pouches, but it was fine as is. Easy to pull around to the front when walking in crowds, or sitting on busses. It collapses fairly flat (when empty) when I wanted to stuff it in my suitcase.

I walk a lot, especially when I’m abroad. Carrying a minimal sketch kit and sketchbook is an essential for me, I’ve carried my book in the rear of m waistband for years, my pens in a cargo short pocket. But that sort of banging about on my thigh is distracting and I figured there had to be something better. I tried a few other slings, but wasn’t thrilled with the shoulder strap. The Osprey model, much like an Osprey daypack I’ve used for the last decade, is comfortable and convenient and moderately light. Not so large that it’s unstable, but big enough to carry my kit and a couple sketchbooks, sunglasses, snack, etc. securely nestled against my back. I’m a fan.
