As another reviewer pointed out, the advertised dimensions are wrong. It is not 21. 5", but over 22", which makes it too big for a carry-on even on most domestic flights, not to mention international ones. I bought it hoping to be able to carry it on almost any airline. It's a shame because I love how light it is (and it's not a bad looking bag). Also I did not find the handle at all easy to extend and collapse. Instead of pushing a button, you need to squeeze the top and bottom of the handle together, which requires some amount of force since it's very stiff, and then it raises or lowers in a jerky manner, not smoothly.
This is a 40 liter wheelie/backpack. It holds a lot IF you pack lightweight clothing. It was large enough to hold all my stuff for one month in Portugal. The backpack straps fit securely in place. I wish they could have been totally unclipped from the bag like another brand does. The only grouch was the telescopic handle isn’t long so often the bag hit my shoe and flipped over. That got annoying after a while.
Nice bag with good build. Measures closer to 22.5 inches. Why isn't the overall length listed in the description? I'm skeptical of the 4.9 lb claim... I think it's closer to 6 lbs. I am returning this bag because it does not meet my needs. I'm new to Osprey, having recently purchased (and liked) the updated 26+6 Daylite pack. But I'm disappointed at the description for this wheeled duffel. I would not have wasted my time purchasing it if the description had been accurate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, the specs are wrong and the bag still measures more than 22 inches. I had purchased the more expensive updated version (after returning the previous discontinued model) because the specs specifically stated 21.5 inches in length and I wanted to be sure it would meet international airline carry-on requirements. A shame—because otherwise the bag would probably have suited my needs. You need to do better, Osprey.
I purchased this carry-on wheeled duffel bag back in 2022, and it has held up beautifully. It is excellent quality, that's for sure. I have a couple of issues with the bag though, and it's due to personal preference after several uses. Firstly, I wish there was an option to have wheels on all four corners of the bag. I originally thought I would need to use the backpack function when traveling out of the country, but I haven't used it once. Pulling the bag behind me in the airport is a little cumbersome when compared to the ease of maneuverability to a 4 or 8-wheeled bag that rolls by your side. Secondly, the interior is not as roomy as traditional carry-ons. The metal bars and backpack straps create bulk inside the duffel, making it challenging to pack. I like this duffel and will continue to use it mainly for car trips, but it's not my go-to travel bag when flying.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been an awesome duffel! For someone who travels A LOT on airlines, this Osprey pack has been fantastic. It even fits in the smallest regional aircraft overhead bins. It's a simple design without too many pockets to get lost in and is easily accessible when I need something. It's also a nice design to wheel, but has the shoulder/backpack straps if I need them.
The bag is not a carry-on compliant and specs in the product description are incorrect. Real height: 57. 5cm Real depth: 25-26cm (not even fully packed) Real weight: 6. 06 lbs or 2. 75 kg This bag should never use "carry-on" in its name. I do not recommend it as you can get into trouble at the gate.
I went on 6 flights with this and no problems. I have not needed to use it as a backpack, but I like the option in case it is needed. The only thing I wish it had, was a side handle, but as it is, there is little to get snagged on when it goes through the airport conveyor belts.
The Daylight Carry-On Wheeled Duffle 40 was everything that I need it to be. It really rolls through the airport being pulled or pushed with total ease. The load carry on this little duffle is fantastic. A real easy going workhorse.
Just used for the first time- much more spacious than it appears. Light but feels very sturdy and I love the colours. Delighted!
