Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack

This is excellent advice. My first one bag trip was awful. My back killed me, my bag was way too large and hard to lug around a city. My teen and I learned our lesson and downsides to an Osprey 26+6

OneBagTravels on YouTube actually used packing peanuts to measure the volume of the Allpa 28L. He found that it was actually 33L (so more bang for your buck 😉). I really love watching his backpack reviews! I typically prefer 25-30L backpacks, which must have a sternum strap, for 1-2 week vacations.

Finding a good spot for my passport was really difficult for me. I wish there was something like a hidden compartment that the almond oak pack has. For the osprey 26+6 though, I might leave it in the laptop compartment but risk it getting bent by my laptop. I also plan to keep it in my daypack but I

I feel like “the load capacity relative to size of an Osprey 26+6” and “comfortable load carrying for long walking distances” is one of those unicorn combinations I keep seeing people ask for on here but that unfortunately seems somewhat mutually exclusive.

I would love to find a backpack that can either: -expand to be used as a daypack and carry-on (so anywhere between 20-40l) -is as as light as possible -fits all airlines specs for a carry-on when expanded or: -is the best carry non-expanding carry-on ba

Trying to find a replacement bag and struggling to find something that fulfills all of my criteria. Currently using an Osprey 26+6 bag but not totally happy with it and trying to find a replacement. Budget isn't unlimited, but if it fits everything that I want I am willing to pay for it, though obvi

I’m looking for a new everyday bag that I can use as a personal item for travel as well. I’m a uni student so I would like a laptop sleeve. I’m go to Thailand via delta airlines somewhat often, and then AsiaAir domestically (very strict baggage guideline, so it’s ok if the bag doesn’t work for this)

Hey, looking for some advice from people who have used bags in the 30–36L range. I’m 22, about 165 cm / 5'5", and I’m slowly moving toward longer one-bag travel. I have a 3-week China trip this October, probably another month-ish trip in early 2027, and maybe a 3–6 month trip later in 2027. Right no
