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.
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.
Just used for the first time- much more spacious than it appears. Light but feels very sturdy and I love the colours. Delighted!
