OspreyDaylite Waist Pack, Meadow Gray/Histosol BrownBluesignBluesignBluesign

A $25 Osprey anything feels like a steal. This waist bag is fully cushioned across the back of the bag where it touches the user’s body; while the padding will prevent pokes and digs, I anticipate it being overly warm on long by walks. So far it hasn’t been too hot or in any way uncomfortable. The main pocket is dark and is only divided with an internal zippered pouch. I like the mid-vertical divider found on more expensive Tomtoc models, but this holds my IPhone, battery backup, Ridge wallet, ear buds, lip balm, assorted cables, notepad and pen. I can even sneak in my Kindle but not a lot more after that.I bought it to use as a flight bag for on-plane necessities so I can keep my carry-on stowed away overhead. I hope to also carry it while touring but a larger sling would fit all this plus a small packable backpack hidden inside, along with a light jacket or rain poncho.I wish I could wear this waist bag as a converted sling but the strap is too short for this to be comfortable, and really not designed to be a sling anyway.I really like the way the belt clicks into place inside a covered portion of the bag; this feels secure because it would be difficult for a bad actor to un-click it and hurry away with my belongings.At $25 this is a great bag and is a strong competitor to far more expensive challengers.

I have three of these pacs. It holds everything I need - phone, wallet, glasses, sunglasses, car keys and chapstick. More will fit but that is all I need to get around. The zippers are sturdy, the padding comfortable. Added bonus is that it would not be easy for someone to unclip it while you are wearing it. I really like the security of that fact.

I bought this after having an osprey day pack for a while. Looks good, well made, enough adjustment to wear around the waist or over the shoulder.

This bag is made from nylon/polyester, and the color scheme- silver/blueberry/orange – makes it very attractive and eye-catching.The main section is surprisingly roomy and has a side net zipper pocket and attached plastic clip for keys or accessories. The interior is lined with light grey nylon material. There’s also a front zip-open pouch that can hold a cell phone or ID wallet.The back of the bag is well-padded for comfort. There’s also a small, thin nylon fence hook.The orange nylon belt is only adjustable from 20” to 30” long, so keep this in mind when considering if you want to wear it around your waist or carry it over the shoulder. The plastic clip-lock “tucks” into the belt tab on the right side (as you’re wearing it).About the zippers …They’re orange to match the belt and have round plastic pull tabs. The problem I had is that the zipper pull cords are looped in such a fashion that when you pull on the tab to close the zipper, the pressure is on the top (or bottom) of the zipper foot instead of the front or back of the tab, which makes the zippers drag.Overall, I like the look and color scheme of the bag. It would be a great little fanny pack if the manufacturer addressed and improved the short length of the belt and the zipper pull tab design.

Osprey makes a great product, this waist pack is no exception. Fits well and is comfortable

Typical Osprey quality. Heavy duty materials.

Love this waist bag. It matches the backpack I own.

Had to send it back it was bigger than my waist.
