While we’re usually partial to black, we went for the fun “Sagebrush Blue” this time because you gotta mix things up every once and a while (and because we’ve been testing this sling mostly in the great outdoors where it’s less important to blend in with the crowd). At the time of this review, it’s available in eight colorways. It has a similar look with the same hardy zipper pulls, front logo, and sleek exterior. The Osprey Daylite Sling fits right in with the other packs in the Osprey Daylite Series. That said-it’s not ideal any time you need to wear it for more than a few hours. Being able to conveniently “sling” the bag forward for easy access has been particularly handy, especially when shopping. While it shined on a trip to Acadia National Park-no surprise as Osprey made its name in the outdoor realm-it’s been pretty good everywhere else too. We plan to hit even more locales as we continue testing. We’ve taken the Daylite Sling to beaches, trails, shopping districts, grocery stores (one of which was similar enough to a farmers’ market) and would’ve taken it to school if any of us were students.

Osprey advertises the Daylite Sling is ideal for most occasions-school, grocery shopping, farmers’ markets, festivals, beaches, hikes, and so on.īeing the thorough gear testers that we are, we decided to test as many of those claims as possible in two weeks.
