Osprey Daylite Unisex Travel Pack, 35L, Tumbleweed Yellow/Tunnel Vision, O/S

I recently took a family of 4 to India with an array of hang luggage-sized Osprey bags to avoid having a large suitcase to lug around small taxis and trains etc. This approach also helps as progressively packing and getting out of hotels is less stressful than having a single suitcase. This expandable bag delivered a number of things that I liked about it: 1. The yellow colour is much darker and more subdued than it appears in product photography, but you can always see it, remember to pick it up, spot your partner in a crowd and feel relaxed that it hasnt been keft behind etc. The fact it is darker than advertised means it doesnt look too garish as a day bag, and in hotel lobbies etc. Yes, you look like a tourist, but not like a scumbag. 2. The size prior to expansion is a good size for a petite wife to handle. 3. The expansion was eminently useful once we had stocked up on souvenirs etc. It is in a useful direction and the bag becomes deceptively large. 4. As you can see with my obsessive purchasing of Osprey bags, it is just very well made. It looks and feels very good. 5. I preferred this bag over the 44 litre black Daylite rucksack in the same range, which was flappy and unstructured and really is just a roll-on suitcase substitute. This also has little structure to it per se, but the smaller size allows it to keep its shape to a greater degree. I'd be happier using this 26L bag for a work trip, for example. 6. The bottle pockets add greatly to the versatility. 7. The ventillated back panel is of greater use in a daypack in tropical climate than it perhaps seems. I'd still prefer a fully netted back for a daypack, like the black Deuter which was our primary day pack. But when we needed a second day pack as we knew we'd be shopping, the vents made this pack more than a viable option. The chief drawback of this pack is that it is not hugely technical. There are limited pockets and internal wizardry. But its a pack thats in the daylite range, so thats kind of the point of it. The external zipped pockets on the front/top are somewhat useless in my view. Quite challenging to get your hands into once the bag is fully packed, not suitable for frequent use. The other Osprey bag I'd totally recommend is the satchel / handbag shown. That thing is a game changer for a man on holiday. Absolutely loved it. The bottle pocket and other pockets make it especially useful, a great bit of design in that bag. Although perhaps Im just a man discovering how useful handbags are to women. But that bag further cements my appreciation of Osprey's design. Final comment, look at the weight of the zips that Osprey use. Makes such a difference to the use, feel and longevity. Theyre always just that bit heavier than everyone elses. Buy it.

Ideal for a holiday. Comfortable with lots of handy features like useful compartments, a zip that opens the whole bag like a suitcase and the expandability. Great for carry on for the plane and for daily use on holiday

The build quality is far superior than many others I’ve looked at. The price is on the ‘premium’ side so it’s an investment. It ticks lots of boxes for what i was looking for in an alternative to a light weight suitcase. My mini break is pending so will update review once I’ve used it!

Really good quality fits my 16" laptop and loads of room for clothes too. And will also fit 3 board games which is a bonus.

Great value for Osprey. Will be taking on holiday to Florida at the end of the month. We'll report back.

This bag is cool. The colours look darker online rather than in hands. Plenty pockets, which I absolutely needed. Good quality too. Travelled last weekend and I could fit all my stuff for a long weekend trip. It seems a bit small though but that’s because I’m 6’1.

Amazing bag to travel with on flights. Spacious and so easy to pack. My new go to

Great product. Delivered on time.

Bag seems durable and of good quality product. I also like that it has a slot for luggage handle. Slight downsize if I would prefer a colour such as red, maroon.

Jag använder den både till kontoret och weekend-resor. Toppen.

Best backpack I’ve ever had! I love that it opens like a little suitcase, and it’s very comfortable to wear. I’ve been using it as a carryon on several flights and had no issues with its size. The laptop compartment is what convinced me to buy it, but it’s so much more than that! 👍🏼

Really good

Great quality, great design
