Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack

There’s a reason why diligent bag researchers so frequently choose the Osprey 26+6. It’s really an awesome lightweight bag, especially if you travel with an ipad, or mini ipad and don’t need a computer. The computer sleeve is also convenient for travel documents or thin magazines like The New Yorker

This is excellent advice. My first one bag trip was awful. My back killed me, my bag was way too large and hard to lug around a city. My teen and I learned our lesson and downsides to an Osprey 26+6

For me, personally it is so worth the weight and space. But, it does take up the space where I could put an extra pair of sneakers or other shoes. That’s a trade-off I have to be willing to make. I am very careful on my shoe/clothing choices in order to fit the pillow. I also don’t typically fly on

My son is 3. I have come to really like travel/hiking bags for their light weight and compressible size.

I would rather shower wash my clothes nightly than deal with the pain from a heavy bag.For week long trips, if it’s warm

I agree with this assessment. I don’t use the bag often because I find the tech panel is useless for my needs (strictly leisure travel, no electronics except for my phone, charging cable, and power bank) and adds unnecessary weight. I find packing the Cotopaxi Allpa and Osprey 26+6L much easier too.
