Does the bag I’m looking for even exist?

I have the Osprey 26+6, 5’2” senior. I added a hip belt and it works good on this pack. I’ve walked 5+ miles with it including a computer in it. I had a cobbler sew 1” (or maybe it was 1.5”) webbing loops and then bought a detachable hip belt. Webbing from Amazon and hip belt from Black Ember DEX hi

Daylite 26+6: 3 day weekend trip

Osprey Daylite 26+6 packed for a 3 day trip to Arizona. Budget airlines and the Daylite 26+6 is a match made in heaven 🙌🏻. Plenty of room to spare, no need to expand the bag.

Guilty pleasure or luxury item?

Travel pillow. Not a neck pillow, but a smaller regular foam pillow. Takes up about 1/3 of my Osprey 26+6 and totally worth it.

My wife and I started out onebagging it in our 20s, this time we thought we'd bite the bullet and check bags so that we could pack and live in a more leisurely manner

No, thank you for your kind offer, though. I had a feeling that you would end like that. Trade the guitar for a ukulele... or something quite different like a flute. Obo or accordion cannot be recommended though! I'm a widow in a too large house with too many dust collectors aka souvenirs. I'm clear

Help! Need Bag Recommendations (26L-35L)

I mean, what about the Osprey 26+6? It’s a personal item when collapsed but can be expanded to 32L for a proper overhead carry on. 28+ might be too big for under seat travel, but great for overhead travel, though I’ll let others speak to that. I know I am squeezing sometimes with the 26

Does this bag even exist??

I believe the Osprey 26+6 checks all of these except stowaway straps, duffel strap, and U-zip mesh cover (honestly I am not sure what you mean by that). I researched all the alternatives when I was deciding what to buy (ultimately did get the 26+6) and I am not aware of anything that checks ALL of t

Bag rec for 9 y/o

30L+ seems like a lot for a 9yo to carry. Check out some of the posts from petite onebaggers on here to get a feel for volume/weight carry. Osprey 26+6 is currently on sale for $75. Alternatively, consider getting her a daypack that can be her main bag now and her packable bag when she's older and h

Thule Aion 28L

I have one of these and the Osprey 26+6. The thule is nice but I don't love how rigid it feels. The Osprey can definitely hold a lot more and is easier to use. The Aion is nice and rugged though and my wife doesn't seem to mind it much as her bag.

The best starter bag for Onebag travel?

The Osprey 26+6 is one of the best combinations of flexibility (26 or 32L), durability, and price. Excellent choice for beginning to explore one bag territory especially for short trips. Works best as a personal item bag but I’d argue it’s an essential bag for the one bag arsenal.

My first one-bag trip completed

A big thank you to the collective knowledge of this sub that had me grabbing an Osprey Daylite 26+6 as my bag. Just returned from 5 nights in Vegas and almost everything went smoothly. Air Canada gate agent at Vegas was crusty AF about the personal item sizer but passed the test. The big takeaway is
