Daylite Plus

Depends on a lot of things. I wouldn’t say they’re great just because they are Osprey, but they do make a good product. I recently got the daylite plus to use as a travel day pack and love it. I also got it on sale so that helps. Definitely worth considering Osprey in your hunt, but make sure you ch

I suggest browsing bags and making a list of features and details that are important to you. I am a bit of a bag and backpack nerd and have various shapes and sizes of bag/pack for various uses and conditions. Each one fulfills a very specific purpose. But I’ve also spent as long as six months searc

Osprey Daylite Plus is a solid go to and great value. I use it constantly as an under seat bag and can do short hikes with ease. When you can get them on sale or previous season colors for ~25%+ off makes it an easy go to.

How much does it need to hold? If just things for the day and to be a personal item, I really love my Osprey daylite plus for this. It’s comfortable, small when you don’t have things in it, expands to fit all my crap when needed (a big part is the “shove it” pocket on the outside!), just enough orga

I would go to REI and spend some real time trying on bags with sample weights. Fit is just like shoes. Take a tape measure and know the dimensional limits for the airlines you plan on using. I’d this a bag you want to use as a personal item (under the seat)?m as well. EU airlines can have small weig

I bought an osprey porter 40L travel pack and a daylite plus backpack. They meet the maximum size for carry on and personal item without going over. You can jam the porter full and cinch it down tight to maximize what you can bring. Best part is you can attach the daylite to the porter and only carr

It is very hit or miss. Every crew is different. Generally I don't think the extra space is worth my peace of mind at the gate when there's so many better alternatives. Since you got as a gift, maybe just under pack it the first time you use it so it'll definitely fit the sizer. Then you can use bes

I bought the wife a Osprey DaylitePlus and she took it on a trip recently. She had it stuffed with her crochet project and it was no issue fitting under the seat. I’d get one myself if I didn’t have other bags already.

I have the Osprey 26+6 and the good news is, the material is very lightweight and flexible, so if you under pack the bag it will squish into the sizer and fit. I also travel with just the Osprey daylite plus (20l) all the time and it’s fine. If you can pack light, your existing school/commute backpa

I second the person who brought up the Daylite. I put a Daylite Plus on the bottom of my bag on a recent trip to Disney and it worked perfectly. Otherwise, I’ve also had luck with the Osprey Remnants packable daypack. Packs up to a tiny little package, but still has actual comfortable backpack strap
