This bag is a beast! I can travel for 5-6 days with this pack (3 pairs pants/5-6 shirts/underwear/socks), light jacket, and computer. It’s super comfortable, I love the dual bottle holders (great for my kids)! If you need any proof of sturdy construction, I have also used it as a tool storage bag for almost 50lbs of tools! You will not regret the purchase for $100! Note: if you want to get the most out of your space, put your clothes directly in, don’t use storage bags. This thing is all about using the corners and finishing it with the internal buckles to hold it down. The expanding zipper works well as an alternative to an external compression strap. Start with it unzipped, pack, and then zip down. Enjoy!
I have had this back for about a year now. It’s a great one bag travel bag and works well for petite women like me. I find that the best way to pack it is to sue the zippered half as a giant compression cube where I pack all my clothes, and use the other half for shoes, toiletries and tech. Great review!
Thanks Danny for the review. I ended getting this over the 44l as I am only 5 ft 4 with a shoulder injury so I think this would be more manageable for me as a travel bag.
Took this bag all around Europe last year for an interrailing trip, it was absolute perfect, holds a surprising an impressive amount when packed well. I just wish it had 2 internal straps instead of 1 going across the middle, as it just ends up going between my packing cubes rather than holding them in place.
Another great review, Danny! I’m sure that many laptop commuters share your disappointment with the lack of a dedicated laptop compartment in this bag, but I suspect that the target buyers are people like me who rarely carry a laptop and who would rather trade the padding and tech pockets for more space for clothing.
Thank you for watching and definitely a good point! There’s many trips where I would use something like this and not necessarily need my laptop which would lead to wasted space and weight like you said
Great video! If you had to pick between this bag and the Cabin Zero military 28L for a personal item on an Aer Lingus flight, which one would you go with? This is assuming they don't check for size (both are slightly too big) but would still need to fit under the seat. Seems like they are fairly similar with features, basically which one do you think fits better under the seat when it is packed? Thank you
Have you considered picking up and reviewing the Cabin Zero 32L Plus/Pro? It seems to be very similar to this bag in terms of price, size, and features. Comparison video?
Thank you for watching and yes I think it could work well as an underseat bag especially if it’s not fully expanded. And love the idea of a roundup of great underseat bags!
I have used it in ryanair flights in Europe under the seat, fits very well unexpanded and still fits, although a bit tight, when fully expanded and packed to bursting
@@dannypacks they actually seem to have released a v2 of this, but it's not on their website. A couple of people seem to have ordered the regular 26+6, but got a slightly altered version of this.
Bags with a dedicated laptop compartment are instantly off my list as I almost never carry a laptop and feel it's wasted space. One person's downside is an upside for someone else.
Thank you for watching! It can work as either depending on the airline, my wife used this as a personal item on a trip to Europe flying on EasyJet, but if it’s expanded and the attendants are strict that day it might get flagged as a carry on
I like this bag. “ not the bag I would take to a more professional setting”. Funny. I did not know a backpack had any professional characteristics.😊. Still a nice review.
Good bag but they need to chill on their branding, that osprey logo and the word daylite on the bottom on the black model is a bit tacky and cheapens an otherwise great all purpose bag.

hii you used it as carry-on bag?
@@alexiyko yeah, small carry on that fits under the seat in front so I didn't have to pay extra for a cabin bag
thx i buying it right now@@haywoodjablomi2529
Thanks for this review! I'm 5 feet tall and some of the minimalist travel pack out there are still too big for my frame. This one really interest me!
Thank you for watching and definitely worth checking out!:)
I'm 5'0 and while I haven't used it yet, I did buy it and it seems to fit me well.
@@zookytar Oooh thank you so much for sharing this! I'll definitely look into this bag more!

agree ! At $110, this is a steal
Thank you for watching! Definitely a great deal!

Danny any chance of you making a video comparing Daylite vs Knackpack?
Great video as always. Would this make a good under the seat pack? Also, I'd love to see a video just on packs that fir under seats as personal bags.

bag looks fantastic
Thank you for watching, definitely an awesome bag!:)
How does Osprey's Airscape aeration system compares to North Face's Flexvent? Is there a noticeable difference between those two?
Man, I hope they release a v2 of the Osprey Daylite 26 + 6 because that laptop section is a dial breaker for me.
Thank you for watching and I’d definitely be excited to see a v2 of this!:)

Thank you for watching and that’s a fair point, I can see how this layout would make more sense if you don’t need to carry one as regularly
yo danny osprey updated the nebula, will there be a review on it? thank you for ur videos
Thank you for watching and for the support! I’ve always been curious to check out the nebula, will see if there is one available for me to test out!:)
HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THE osprey Sport lite 25 Backpack.
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! Hadn’t heard of that one before!
Is this considered a carry on or personal item?

@F L It didn't mess with the fabric or leave any marks beyond removing the text?
It is just as bad as NorthFace and Patagonia.
Thank you for watching and I agree, really wish some of the big name brands would use more subtle branding
