Osprey Daylite Duffel Bag 45

Seems like a sturdy product. I used it to transport a wicked edge knife sharpener and several GUARDED knives. Transporting them after sharpening was a problem as one knife cut right through the side of the bag and into my leg. Use some common sense when packing this bag and it should last you a very long time. The bag has no form of its own so it will take whatever shape you pack it with. This aspect makes for a very compact fold-up but it will be lacking if partially packed with heavy items.

I love that I can wear this as a back pack or a duffel bag! Great size for a weekend trip! Just the right number of pouches!

Okay, the colors not the greatest, but its built with care, and built like a tank. Plenty of room for a weekend away. It should last a couple decades and if it doesnt Osprey has the best warranty of any of the outdoor gear merchants.

I am an experienced traveler who used to travel internationally for work frequently. If there is a one bag product out there - including other designs by Osprey - Ive tried them, and likely hauled them to places as far away as India or Australia. The older I get, the more I value a lightweight bag without a lot of bells and whistles. Using that criteria, this bag exceeds expectations. If you are a true one bag advocate, this is likely not the bag for you. There is no place to put a laptop, and few pockets to store other items. Having said that, every airline Ive ever flown on has allowed a second personal bag. When I travel for work that means a messenger bag to hold my laptop and other work items, and when I travel for pleasure I carry a small, lightweight pack (usually the Osprey Ultralight Stuff pack) with my iPad and other personal items. So this should be a non-issue, unless you are traveling internationally through Heathrow and the security people are being unreasonable (which they usually are). For everyone else, this bag is near perfect. Its lightweight, seems durable, and isnt over-engineered. The Porter 30 is a lovely bag, but far too small for more than a couple days of travel (forget about packing a change of shoes...). The Farpoint 40 has great support, but at the expense of packing space (its really closer to 35l) and accessibility. This bag, the Daylite Duffel, manages to be international travel size but lets you use the full 45l of space, and getting to items in the bag couldnt be easier. With packing cubes I was able to overpack for a 10-day trip carrying only my Osprey Ultralight as an additional personal bag (disclaimer: I did a load of laundry halfway through the trip for socks/underwear). For a weeklong trip or less this bag has you covered nicely. The Daylite Duffel is suprisingly comfortable as a backpack. Not as sturdy as the Farpoint but certainly comfortable enough for getting through airports and to your hotel. The two side pockets are small, but functional. The smaller pocket held a pair of glasses and sunglasses on my latest trip, which was very useful. The only nit I would pick - and its something Ive read in other reviews - is that if the bag isnt fully packed it sort of folds into itself in the middle when you are using the duffle handles. This doesnt really affect... anything... but it feels a little awkward when you are carrying it. 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.

This is the first compelling offering that Ive seen that functions well both as a backpack and a duffel. This 45L bag is the perfect size for a long-weekend. This bag has a really impressive build quality and the fabric, stitching, straps, etc all feel top-notch. Even loaded up, it is very comfortable as a backpack. I liked this bag so much, I also bought a larger version! Highly recommend!

I was looking for a duffel bag that could also be worn as a backpack and this bag was exactly what I was looking for. Even though Osprey can be expensive, this is definitely a steal. Highly recommend!

I was excited to see that Osprey had come out with a line of elegant simple duffle bags. Ive been a huge fan of Osprey for years, they have created well-designed travel products and also amazing backpacking backpacks. The Daylight Duffles are a great lightweight duffle bag perfect for short trips or for a run to the gym. They arent overbuilt, just a large main compartment and two smaller zippered pouches on the end and side including one with a clip for your keys. As with nearly all Osprey bags it can be used as a backpack but also works well as a normal duffle bag. I love that the Daylight is made from recycled materials although you would never guess as they seem incredibly durable and functional. I was excited to get all 3 sizes, 60L, 45L, and 30L to always have the right one for need. The 30L is great for a quick day trip or taking to the gym, the 45 is good for an overnight trip and the 60 is the perfect size for a quick weekend trip. They also nest easily for easy storage. Im also assured by Ospreys guarantee to repair for free any damage or defect in the product. It is great to have the knowledge that my new favorite bag will be with me for the long term. Couldnt be happier with Osprey as a company and these bags.

Love this duffel! It’s great for a long weekend bag, is sturdy and secure. I use it camping for my dry year and on long weekend travels.
