Osprey Daylite Duffel Bag 45

Its a surprisingly versatile piece of kit and Ive got lots of brilliant uses for it. First, you can squash it down and pack it into a larger suitcase. That way, on your return journey, you have the space for any souvenirs, gifts, or other shopping that took place while on your trip. Its also great as a weekend bag if youre used to packing light. And it also works as an everyday gym and work bag too. At 45 Litres, this may not be your big main suitcase but its still substantial and would work as carry-on luggage. Like any good duffel bag, the Osprey Daylite Duffle has a really strong shoulder strap with a padded handle you can velcro into place. But then it also has a rucksack or backpack option and the interchange is really quick. Theres no fumbling around or getting straps out of hidden compartments. The backpack option makes life easier when you need to go hands-free, such as when youre holding your passport and boarding card getting ready to board the plane. One of the things I really love about all Osprey products - and Ive tested loads of them by now - is the quality. The handles are strong, theyre well attached, theyre wide and theyre padded. Your hands are going to be comfortable if you need to pick up the bag from the side and if anyones rough with your luggage during transit, the handles will still be attached by the time the journeys over. Overall, this bag is for weekend breaks around town and family trips on the plane. And for that, its perfect. Its lightweight, really well made and pleasant to use.

Carries like a backpack and wears like a fire scba pack.

Here’s a picture of Duffel 30 next to Duffel 45, also next to a 17” laptop bag to get an idea of the relative size. Size 30 is great as a gym bag and as an airline carry-on that easily fits under the seat in front. This Size 40 is better for a weekend trip and to replace a small travel suitcase. What I love about these duffel bags is the versatility while at the same time they are light weight. The bags can be used as a backpack, and folded up nice and compact. While this series is not officially weatherproof, the fabric is pretty good at shedding rain, so I’m not worried about carrying this around during a rain storm. The 40 size bag is going to be useful to pack inside my main airplane luggage just in case I bring home more items from the trip and need more space on the return home. Since it folds so compact, I will throw it in my main luggage all the time “just in case.” The backpack straps also make it easier to get around the airport with lots of luggage.

Its a great duffel bag with soft handles that doubles as a back pack.

The Osprey 45L Duffle offers nice versatility between a duffle and a backpack. The top of the duffle bag is slightly padded to provide some cushion to your back when using it as a backpack. All the extra pockets are on the outside of the bag, leaving the inside roomy and ready to you to pack in all your stuff. The zipper pull tabs are a good size to aid in easy access and the water bottle pocket is good for a medium size bottle. Anything bigger than about 24 oz would likely be too wide. The duffle straps have a comfortable padded feel and there is a sturdy handle at the top of a bag when used as a backpack giving you many ways to carry the bag.

This bag can hold a LOT of stuff. There aren’t a lot of compartments, but the build quality is there. I like that it can be used as a duffel or a backpack, too; makes it great for travel. Highly recommend if you need an everyday type of bag. The lack of additional compartments is my only quibble, and it’s a minor one at that.

Awesome bag would highly recommend!

Tamaño perfecto. Excelente color. Buen material. Me gusta que sea un producto libre de PFCs y hecha con materiales reciclados. Es necesario que todas las marcas sigan este camino.

A really nice bag -- its light weight and fairly simple -- but love that it has backpack straps that are re-used in the handle of the bag. 45L is a good size -- can be for a couple for a weekend, or if youre packing a few more things.
