The Daylite Cinch is fairly small, coming in at a lightweight size of 15-liters, but it’s perfectly fine for short hikes and treks. But since most of the other stains we found were wiped off cleanly, we’re going to put this down as an exception rather than a rule. The only real mark against the Daylite Cinch is a mystery stain that we found at the side of the bag. Osprey Daylite Cinch | We’re not sure where this stain came from we just know it’s not easy to get rid of.
Keep in mind that the Daylite Cinch is designed as an outdoor-friendly backpack, so it’s encouraging to see design aspects such as the 500D polyester base holding up well. Even though polyester is widely regarded as less resistant to abrasion than nylon, the bag still fares well in outdoor use. On the whole, the Daylite Cinch is just as well-built as any of the other Osprey bags we’ve tested. The mix of Woojin and ITW buckles and clips are relatively easy to use and adjust, with the most noteworthy issue being a slightly too tight slider on the sternum strap. The good news is that it performs reliably despite the extra attention, and so too does the hardware. As it’s the only zipper on the bag, it’s used frequently. There’s exactly one YKK zipper on the Daylite Cinch it’s for the front pocket and comes with an easy-to-grab ring pull.

Polyester is a noticeably softer fabric compared to, say, ballistic nylon. The main body is mostly made up of 150D fabric, while the accent and the base of the bag get heavier 600D fabric, all of which are recycled polyester with PFC-free durable water repellent coating. Like with its other bags, Osprey uses a mix of different deniers for the fabric on the Daylite Cinch. At the time of writing, other colorways available include the following: Wave Blue, Cosmic Red, Dream Purple, Ash Mamba Black, Tortuga Dustmoss Green, Umber Orange Verdigris Green, and of course, Black.
Either way, we dig it because it gives the Daylite Cinch personality that sways with the wind. Meanwhile, gloomy weather can really bring out a darker hue of blue. Under bright light, the Basalt Eclipse Gray colorway can appear light blue, even lavender-ish. One quirk of the Daylite Cinch we have is that its color is slightly different depending on the lighting condition. Osprey Daylite Cinch | The bag’s name gets its own text logo. The same can be said for the Daylite Cinch, and the achieved aesthetic can be summed up as tall but streamlined. As for the shape, Osprey has typically done well with the sleek and aerodynamic design they’ve used on a lot of their backpacks, including the bike-focused METRON, Tropos, and Radial. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, as the bag is quite spacious for a 15-liter daypack. The Daylite Cinch’s tall profile disguises its relatively small capacity rather well. However, it did take some tweaking to get the carrying comfort just right. On the trail, we found the Daylite to handle as fluently as the brand’s other backpacks, which is already a huge check in our books. It’s an outdoorsy backpack with built-in features to accommodate a hydration bladder. In this review, we’re going to be taking a look at the 15-liter Daylite Cinch. Osprey Daylite Cinch | Carrying comfort isn’t something we take for granted here. Yes, they’re not a hundred percent perfect, but they’re definitely up there when it comes to backpacks that handle rather well. Whether it’s the 13-liter Daylite or the 34-liter Tropos, they have a knack for creating bags that don’t make us feel like we’re trying to haul something big.
Osprey has a bit of a track record with us, as we’ve mostly given their backpacks praise for being comfortable to carry.
