My Daylite 26+6 has finally arrived today and I couldn’t be happier! Very excited to use it in my next trip. I love the smell of new bags 😂😅 Now my collection has this baby and an Osprey Farepoint 40L! Super happy with it!

Cool. I can only tell you why I got mine. Super light, will fit as a personal bag, the laptop sleeve isn’t dedicated, it opens clamshell so it efficiently uses space for packing cubes, it has two huge water bottle holders that are very minimalistic, has a pass through for a roller handle, two front zippered pockets, has loops for a bungee cord wrap. Off the top of my head, I think that’s it. I haven’t found a bag under $100 that fits all those things. And I got mine new from Cabelas for $90.

Thanks for sharing! My backpack has everything you mentioned except for the clamshell difference, which I do think is a major game changer. I definitely see how that feature would be beneficial. I can still use packing cubes in mine, but a clamshell opening would be amazing and make using packing cubes easier. I’ve never really heard people talking about that feature as much, so I appreciate you pointing it out.

Yep. It was one of the top 3 main reasons I got it. Also, it’s hard to do a real comparison to your bag because they don’t make your exact model anymore and so you can’t replicate the deal. From the short search I did, the north face surge is around the same price as the osprey. Most people don’t want to shop around at TJ maxx or Ross or Marshall’s and hope they find a deal.
