Osprey Daylite Shoulder Sling Bag, Black – Compact Crossbody Sling Backpack for Everyday Carry, Festivals, and Travel – Lightweight, Comfortable Fit for Hands-Free Convenience

The Osprey sling pack is a well made, right-sized Sling Pack that is comfortable to wear (rear padding durable yet adequate, and strap wide and thick enough to be strong yet comfortable) and that looks good. Adequate volume for most typical travel items in main pocket, and an adequately sized front pocket for quick access to documents (like passport, tickets, and so on) and wallet. There's even a pocket on the strap useful for a snack bar or electrolyte tablets. Zippers work smoothly, although they aren't waterproof, but likely neither is the pack. Don't overlook the loops around the periphery. One can attach shock-cord loops with cord locks to tether items like rain gear, or use the plastic fastener clips on water bottle pockets to attach the pocket and carry a suitable water bottle on the outside of the sling pack. All-in-all, the Osprey sling pack is attractive and functional.

This is an awesome bag. I use it everyday day, opening and closing the zippers constantly without issue. I love how compact it is even though it holds a good bit of stuff.. It has a type of clam shell design so it lays flat. The materials and stitching are top notch and appears to be very well built. I feel like I will use this bag for a very long time. So far no regrets.

I was using a SCOTTeVEST for work trips but was finding that it is uncomfortable to wear in such small airplane seats with all the items I want to retain with me in my seat to travel comfortably. I was looking for an alternative and since I already travel with an Osprey Porter 30 as my carry on, I decided to look at the company’s other offerings. I found this and decided to give it a try. Everything that I’m carrying in my vest fits in this sling bag. While my Porter 30 is the overhead, I had access to all my items such as a one liter bottle of Aquafina water, a 12 oz orange juice, Apple AirPods Pro, portable battery charger, airline seat phone mount, stylus pen, Chapstick, Vicks Vapo-Inhaler, packets of Splenda, my wallet, work credentials, work iPhone, and a can of Copenhagen. My travel experience improved significantly and I am able to sit in my economy airline seat comfortably. The vest was cool and still works for keeping warm but with all that I carry, it started to feel like a drag. Plus now without out the vest, I don’t have all these strangers approaching me and pestering me about whether I am going on a fishing trip, which I am not ever going to. Sure the vest is a conversation starter to talk about fishing but I don’t partake in that. This Osprey sling is now my second carry on in addition to my Porter 30. There are two pockets with dual zippers and a zip up pocket on the sling. I am able to wear this comfortably with the main body on chest while wearing my Porter 30 on my back. It is a 5 liter size, so keep that in mind. The materials appear to be of high quality and I am very satisfied that I bought this. Looking forward to using on all my trips. Highly recommended.

It’s a little too small. It would be perfect if it was 8-10 Liters or if it had a side pocket for a water bottle. As is, a light jacket and a water bottle fills up the entire sling. The strap is relatively comfortable around the neck area (vs the uncomfortable Patagonia Atom Sling) and the cell phone holder fits my iPhone 12 Pro. The sewing quality is impeccable, but it’s just too darn small for my use.

This bag solves 3 problems that other sling packs fall short1- You can wear on either side of your shoulder and there isn’t a buckle or clip to make the swap. At first I thought this was a bad thing, but the design solves a problem most slings have where they break constantly. Instead it’s a basic stopper that pulls tight through a hole.2- the zippers are not the cheaper tie ons. They are secure and easy to pull.3- the strap has comfort where it’s needed and pads extend down farther them both4- the front smaller access isn’t trying to be special or unique. It’s a basic easy to access section with no thrills. How it should be!5- it has a clean and simple look with function inside and out. It’s not trying to be anything other than a bag!I have gone through about 10 other sling bags because none of them have any sort of long-term durability so we will see how this holds up. At first glance material appears to be solid enough to not get holes when tossed around

Carried this on a 2 week trip to Jordan and Egypt. Plenty of room, light weight and comfortable

Just completed a 2-week whirlwind tour of Thailand. This little bag is the perfect size for my 220lb, 6ft frame. Could easily and securely carry the necessary credentials anywhere I went, along with a bottle or two of water.Access to and functionality of the pockets is intuitive, especially important when I was navigating the bustling roads on my rental scooter. Quality, fit and finish were excellent, and kept my important documents dry through a few brief rain showers.Maybe a bit less important, but it matched my 35L Osprey carry-on backpack and complimented it well while on the multiple legs of the international flights. Small bags like this are very popular in Thailand for tourists and locals alike, but it was nice having something a bit unique.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great bag. Keep in the car because it’s small and light, I can grab it anytime I don’t want to carry water bottles for a walk.
