Osprey 26+6/IKEA Rensare appreciation post

Picture is an Osprey 26+6 (old style) with the IKEA Rensare packing cube set to show how well they fit together when not overpacked.

The 26+6 Problem: Too Much Bag for Too Little Weight

Congrats on slimming down your packing list! I do summer travel in 16-20L and save the 26+6 for cool weather trips too. I got the Osprey day lite tote pack in the same colour as my 26+6. I like it despite not having the clamshell opening. I found a packing cube that fits perfectly and it works good.

For one bag sub everyone seems to have many, if you could only own one bag, which would it be?

Owning multiple bags is not the same as carrying multiple bags. Osprey 26+6 is the ideal bag in my opinion.

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

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.

Osprey Daylite 26+6 mod to fit passport/Field Notes

S/o u/travelingpostgrad for the comment that inspired me to do this. It seems like overkill to have 3 pen holders, and that was also taking away from the functionality of the front pocket. Just a quick couple snips, and the pocket now fits a passport or Field notes. https://imgur.com/gallery/osprey-

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
