Alternative to Osprey Daylite 26+6
I hope I have followed the rules appropriately and added the image description in a way that is useful.
I had bought the Osprey Daylite 26+6 backpack. I thought it looked great, but I was hesitant because of the price. I don’t travel by plane that often, and at my age (78!) I’m not sure how many more 1.5 bag trips are ahead of me.
Meanwhile my partner had bought a Bagsmart bag that was equally light--maybe even lighter-- and at about $33 about 1/3 of the cost. After vascillating I decided to go with the cheaper one like his, with an add-on of a sternum strap. I have to say that it worked incredibly well on a recent three week trip, and I have no regrets. It’s probably not as well made as the Osprey, but it’s well enough made, and it worked fine as an under seat personal item on various airlines. I bought it on Amazon and interestingly I don’t think the Bagsmart website sells this particular model.
