Osprey Daylite Expandable 26 6 Travel Pack Tunnel Vision Grey Amazon Exclusive

Bought this backpack for a 15 day international trip to be used in conjunction with a small carryon bag. It more than met my needs for all items I would need in a hurry, e.g. passport, travel documents, meds, water bottle, snacks, jacket, etc. I literally took it on planes, buses, trains and cars and it was perfect. Fit well under plane seats and in overhead bins on trains and buses. Well made, durable, functional and comfortable. I did use the expandable function a time or two and that was really helpful. The price was right and Osprey is the only pack or bag I consider when buying. Read more

LOVE! I like to travel (fly) without checking any bags and this backpack is essential for me. It opens up clamshell-style like a suitcase so all my stuff pack up easily. The default “size” is roomy but not too big, and when you need more space the bag zips to expand so you can fit more stuff in. Still fits under seat on plane as personal item, so a separate carry-on bag can be put above the seat. The padding on the straps and back of the bag is firm but cushioned. I got the solid gray color so it’s perfect for all styles. The quality is impressive. Overall for the price I couldn’t be happier. Read more

Perfect upgrade. The backpack I’ve been looking for! I’ve had a Marmot backpack for years. Beat it to death. I used it for every day, and as a personal item when traveling. I knew it was time to retire it, and searched high and low for the perfect replacement. Here’s a list of my must haves: Expandable mesh water bottle holders on both sides. Front pocket with organization. Additional front pocket for more storage and quick access. Comfortable, padded straps. LIGHTWEIGHT. Strong, easy to use zippers. Durable, easy to clean fabric. Interior storage. Backpack can stand up on its own. This checks all the boxes… And – comes with a lifetime warranty! Thank you, Osprey. Some additional notes… The backpack has a clamshell opening, but you don’t have to use it. Two zippers on the top allow you to access from the top. Interior pocket is designed to hold a laptop, and is well padded. The mesh water bottle pockets are a little snug, so they may not accommodate larger size bottles. Mine is a 24 oz. Iron Flask, so it’s perfect for me. Read more

I purchased this for a 12 day overseas journey, and I’m so glad I did. The bag held all my essentials for the journey there - including clothing for a day (in case my other suitcase got lost), my liquids/meds, personal items, kindle, folders of info of reservations, and some other items. I love that it opens up as a regular suitcase, making it easier to pack so things don’t get buried. A TSA agent in the US and overseas needed to open my bag and both commented how cool that was to easily access things in the bag. I also love that it has an easy access zipper in the back of the bag (which made it easy to access my liquids and kindle to get through security). I will use this bag for overseas adventures in the future and for shorter domestic travel trips. I could easily use this for a 3 day journey and not have to carry any other bag, if I packed lightly and smartly. The quality of the bag is great, and I loved that it expands. This bag fit very nicely under the airplane seat and overhead in the storage bins. The front pockets on the bag were also great - especially the key holder which I used to attach an Apple AirTag to. If you make short or long trips, this is THE BAG to get for your carry-on/personal item. If you are strategic in packing and take this bag and a small suitcase (for longer trips) you can travel lightly and not have to check any bags! I would highly recommend this bag! Read more

I mainly use this backpack for commuting by car to and from work and for occasional travel here and there. It works wonderfully for this imo. Yes there are some trade offs compared to just getting a dedicated commuter pack and a separate travel bag. For example, less organization, not much padding for the laptop compartment, sideways opening can be a little awkward, etc. But those are all things I can live with for the value and versatility of an extendable bag like this. The bag is very high quality and durable for the price, nice zippers, very spacious especially when extended, lifetime warranty, etc etc. The black color is also quite nice looking and sleek enough for my tastes And the sideways opening is easily a nonissue if you just keep the zippers up top and treat it like a top loader when not packing it out. Tldr: $100 is a steal for a bag of this quality imo and it's no wonder it's regularly out of stock. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on it. Read more

Great backpack. I was able to use this with my carryon luggage to pack enough for a 9 day trip using the expandable feature. Pockets are great and functional. I would have given 5 stars but a little pricey Read more

This is an excellent travel backpack. The expandable design is a great feature and gives you extra space when needed, but still stays compact enough to use as a personal item. It’s perfect for travel, day trips, or everyday use. The build quality is outstanding, which is what I expect from Osprey. The materials feel durable, and the zippers and stitching are solid. It’s also very comfortable to wear, even when fully loaded, thanks to the padded straps and smart design. I really like how organized everything is, with plenty of compartments to keep things easy to access. The color looks great in person as well. Overall, this is a high-quality, well-designed backpack and definitely worth it. Highly recommend. Read more
