Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack

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

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

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

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.

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

Just chiming in to support your jeans! I know that a lot of travelers cite their bulk/heaviness/slow-drying — but I adore jeans and wear them every day, so I brought them on a 15-day trip to the UK at the beginning of summer. It was great! I already knew they fit great and breathed great, and I wore

A couple of thoughts: a 23 l bag is down at the extreme end of one-bagging so you’re making this harder on yourself than it needs to be; a 30-35 l bag would make this easier or even a Osprey 26+6 fabric type matters a lot - cotton is heavy & bulky to pack, and dries slowly; synthetic fabrics made fo

I found the 26+6 super uncomfortable but enough people here like it that I suppose I'm an outlier. FWIW, my hiking pack is an Osprey Talon 22 and my carryon pack is a Fairview 40 (both of which are fine). YMMV

In Dec, I, my wife, 12 yo and 5 yo stayed 2 weeks at Tokyo. I used an Osprey Daylight 26+6. It is 26L and can expand by another 6L. I used a backpack because it is more comfortable. I didn’t use a coin locker because we were just moving and not necessarily going back to the same station. My backpack

I’m another two-bagger. I just can’t carry a giant pack on my back. I use a cane and can manage an Osprey 26+6 if it’s not super stuffed. But I usually take a 21 inch two-wheeledTravelpro and a Foldie tote. Sometimes I’ll swap the Foldie for the Osprey. It’s just easier with two smaller bags rather
