Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack

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 bought packing cubes over a decade before I started one bagging, and long before I knew which bag could be the “right” one for me. I also have different bags for different types of travel, so buying cubes specifically for each bag would get way too cost-prohibitive for me. My opinion: I think it’s

Yeah, I don't want to knock the Osprey Daylite 26+6. It's my current onebag. But it's claimed 6" (16cm) depth is more like 7.5" (19cm) when packed. To keep it at 7", I need to pack without using compression cubes.

I recently bought the Osprey (edit: the Daylite, not the Transporter) 26+6 and Tomtoc T66 Liteway (28L) to compare as personal item bags. The Osprey is the only one I brought on trips — first a family car trip, then on a flight for a work trip.On the family trip I had no complaints. But on the work

Take a look at the Cabin Zero 28 series bags. The Tech and Military versions have more features. The Osprey Daylite 26+6 will squeak by if you don’t over pack it.

Are there any alternatives to the Osprey 26+6? 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

I like the osprey 26+6 a lot. It’s great for budget airlines or weight sensitive airlines. It also fits in middle and window airplane seats better because it’s so small height wise. I think it falls short majorly on space. Online reviews says the 26 is more like 22l. And to fit nicely on airlines, y

I have not actually. I'm on another trip for 2 months with my Osprey 26+6 and it's working out ok. But, when I get home I think I will do some mods on the TP3 as I really like the overall feel when doing multiple mile days with it as the Osprey isn't the most comfortable.

If you want strict Ryanair compliance, the Cabin Zero Classic 28 is made for that, but you do need to watch overfilling it densely on depth. I just wrote up a kit using the Gossamer Gear Loris 25 which is a bit long but smaller on other dimensions and can squish into a sizer (https://reddit.com/r/on

I just switched from using my osprey 26+6 to a roller carry on suitcase. Wearing a backpack all day in the heat or while walking distances sucked. The roller suitcase holds slightly more (maybe 35L?) and I don't have to lift it except to put it in the overhead bin or trunk of an Uber. I am loving it
