Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
