We compared two daypacks at different capacities: the Osprey Daylite Plus (20L) and the Berghaus 24/7 Solo Rucksack (30L).
What we looked at
Stated capacity, comfort features, storage, and price. The Osprey listing itself gave very little written detail beyond the title, so its copy here is grounded in the title alone.
The verdict
If you want a smaller, lighter 20L daypack from a well-known hiking pack brand, the Osprey Daylite Plus is the compact pick, at £52.99. If you would rather pay £1.00 more for a larger 30L rucksack with a ventilated back system, a laptop sleeve and walking pole holders, the Berghaus 24/7 Solo is the higher-capacity option, at £53.99.
