Why is this sub so obsessed with expensive stuff?

I think when it comes to backpacks spending a little bit more often has a significant impact on comfort and durability. A friend has one of those personal item backpacks from Amazon and it's significantly less comfortable than my Osprey 26+6. Do both get the job done? Yes, but I think the extra 70 U

This subreddit changed my life + What I learned

The “bag review” nerds love sh*tting on Osprey when they can. I watched a review on the Daylite 26+6 today and they said to “try these substitutes.” They were 2-3.5x the price! I actually needed a smaller bag than my Farpoint 40 and went with the Daylite 26+6 in black. There’s probably a great $250

Osprey 26+6 Personal Sizer Pics

A big factor for the tight squeeze with Air Canada is because all Canadian airlines (Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, and Flair) generally only allow 6 inches of depth for personal item, compared to the 8-9 inches allowed by US airlines. It's a massive difference. A fully packed (unexpanded) Osprey 26+6

Hot take: I did not like Daylite 26+6

I love the layout of my older version of the Osprey Daylite 26+6L. However, I find it so uncomfortable to carry because of the straps and not having a waist strap, which I find helpful for carrying 30L+. For me, it’s definitely one of those bags I use just for travel days, but not as an EDC during t

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

8 Day Cruise - 3L Packing List - Fanny Pack Only Travel

So this seems a tad extreme, especially for a cruise. Kudos if this works for you. A daypack or Osprey 26+6 might have afforded you a more comfortable journey.

Underseat Roller Bags vs. Backpacks?

I personally own both the two-wheeled Travelpro rollaboard and the Osprey 26+6. Both are excellent choices for frequent travelers. However, as a person who uses a cane and needs to stay upright, it’s physically easier to pull my Travelpro than to haul my fully-loaded (but unexpanded) Osprey 26+6 on

Hot take: I did not like Daylite 26+6

Huh. I just returned from a 4 day trip where I brought my Osprey Daylite 26+6. I’m a 72 year old woman who is small though I don’t think my shoulders are particularly narrow. I find the Osprey to be comfortable enough and love using it on short trips. The chest strap worked fine to carry the 10 poun

How come bag makers don’t start making bags without laptop compartments

Yeah I hate separate padded laptop compartments, they take up so much space! I like the osprey 26+6 because there’s just a sleeve at the back. Perfect for my tablet (wish the straps were more comfortable though). Glad to see I’m not the only one who wishes there were more options for the non-digital

Bag Size Comparison: 28L vs 16L

Great breakdown, thank you! As someone who is 5’3” I have the Allpa 35 and it’s the biggest bag I can reasonably carry but can certainly get heavy when fully loaded. For longer trips or things where I need a ton of totally separate clothes I usually end up with the Osprey 26+6 for my personal item a
