7/10/2023 0 Comments Osprey daylite plus vs dayliteThe Daylite Plus IS smaller, officially 2 liters - but I'm willing to bet that the actual useable space will seem a bit less than that even. I could add a hydration bladder and still come in under the cost of the Skarab. It looks like Osprey just released a new version, the outgoing version is available on Amazon for ~$45, which I like. but for ~$100, I'm left wanting a little more. I could get packing cubes, use ziplock bags, etc. This would mean there wouldn't be a spot for my wife to keep her things separate (for quick access), I couldn't keep quick essentials (snacks, sun screen, etc) in a more convenient place compared to everything else. Older models seemed to have a better setup, but the current version is basically just one big pocket. My hang-up with the Skarab, though, is the lack of organization options. This seems to be a well reviewed bag and I think it would be larger than I'd likely need, but something I could "grow into" for longer hikes, overnight hikes (when someone else is carrying the tent) etc. The Skarab 22 also currently ships with the water bladder included. Generally, for all of their products, I'm drawn to them because of their warranty. The first bag I was looking into was the Skarab 22 from Osprey. My wife and I also go to Disney World a lot - I like bringing a pack to keep some essentials in and a spot to keep her ID, cards, and a few of her items (currently I'm using a Dakine brand backpack I got in college - it works, but could be better). I'll probably be packing a rain jacket, first aid, maybe a spare shirt, spare socks, maybe a book - and other items depending on the day/situation. Unlikely we'd be camping overnight - and if we did, I'd probably be looking for a different pack anyway. Some buddies and I want to start going on some day hiking trips in Florida, talking 5+ mile "adventures". Found this sub via a reddit rabbit trail I went down.
