Osprey Daylite Backpack with wheels black 55 cm

Stephen - 7 October 2023

The case is light, strong, carry-on size and it appears to be very durable; I am very happy with my purchase.
The only thing I could see to improve the product would be the addition of a side carry handle, the top one makes it a little difficult to carry up stairs.

I was somewhat concerned that the Daylite may have been a little flimsy in order to be so light, but also conforming precisely with the Air France and KLM requirements (55cm H x 35cm W x 25cm D). Osprey quality prevails throughout with a very good quality build, fit and finish. Easy and unimpeded access is through the top flap, which opens in a counter intuitive 'U' hinging from the top, which adds to the strength of the Daylite when carried with the back pack straps (just ensure that it is securely zipped up so that nothing falls out the bottom). Although the interior is lined, you don't feel that you have lost any space and the twin rails for the double handle are easy to work around by storing rolled up clothes, etc. I have used packing cubes without issue and I still had some space for odds and ends, despite me reaching my 12kg limit. The Daylite is easy to work with allowing for the fact that it's a tail dragger; it's very stable and quiet when rolling and when it gets to manoevring it, the grab handles (top and side) are easy to hold with the added reassurance of the flimsy looking, but very strong 'kick stand' (used to allow the Daylite to stand vertical without any assistance)... There is a significant additional feature which is back pack straps which are stored in the top flap (adding some bulk, but without affecting the dimensions). Although I have inspected them (and they are adequately padded), I have not yet used them, but I like the fact that I have them as an option. It fits easily in the carry on bins and I wholeheartedly recommend the Osprey Daylite (no I don't work them or any affiliates!)
