Hey, so I recently hopped on the Osprey Daylite 26+6 bandwagon, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer. I decided to put it to the test by seeing if it could slide into the Ryanair and Wizzair Personal Item cages – just for kicks. Now, technically, the bag’s dimensions, as stated on the website, are a tad larger than what Ryanair and Wizzair allow, but with a bit of maneuvering, I managed to squeeze it in without a hitch. The bag wasn’t fully expanded, and I didn’t pack it to the brim, but it slipped in smoothly into both cages.
I have to say, this bag is pretty impressive. The comfort level on my shoulders and back was decent, and the amount of space inside is just mind-blowing. I love how you can open it up like a suitcase and the various compartments it offers are super handy. Plus, it’s got a sleek look to it which is always a bonus. I even took it along on my 12-day trip to Spain, using it as both my main pack and daypack.
During the day, I made sure to keep the load as light as possible since this backpack doesn’t have any fancy backsystem or hip straps. As long as I didn’t overload it, it was totally fine. I even took it on some day hikes, keeping my essentials to a minimum, and it held up well. Now, I’m eagerly anticipating my next adventure with this trusty bag. If you’ve got any questions about it, feel free to hit me up.
