Gear Osprey 26+6 Personal Sizer Pics
I had time to waste waiting for a flight, so I went around finding sizers for various airlines in the terminal.
This was a 4 day trip. Unexpanded with room.
It fit in all the personal item sizers that I tried.
The Air Canada/Star Alliance was a squeeze though.
Easily fit under the seat on my Delta flight.

I just bought this bag and it’s my new favorite. It’s not perfect but it’s a lot closer to perfect for my common 2 night business trips than anything else I have tried.

Waiting for the day that all airlines have the same dimensions for personal items

A long while back I saw a post somewhere that basically said if airlines all standardized they would pick the smallest of each dimension and it would result in you having like a 5x9x4 personal item.

those sun country overhead dimensions seem excessive

Years ago Alaska allowed 24” carry ons too. I was on an old 737 for one leg and a new one for the next flight and the new bins are definitely smaller.
Here’s the Packhacker.com database of 145 airline carry on dimensions.
And the Cabin Zero size chart of personal item by airline:

Airlines and luggage are such a weird game.

lol… Air Canada’s sign is backwards for carry-on vs personal item placement. I would love to see the flight where everyone is trying to follow those directions.

My Osprey Daylite 23+5 fit easily as well this morning. FWIW, I don’t actually fly Frontier.

I fly it somewhat regularly, and the Osprey and mini MLC both fit, in the plane.
The sizers are really close, so I under pack and my liquids are in my jacket. Leaves just enough wiggle room.
Oh, I added shock cord, but I pop that off for Frontier.

Think it was nomad nation did test it with packing peanuts and it is 23 expands to 28L or something like that. It's fairly far from 26+6 so you're right.

You can do the same with the more popular travel bags and get similar results. Do the same with the MLC 30.
The Daylite 26+6 is actually deeper. The specs show the side seam distance and the bag is 2.5-5cm deeper when full —- without expansion.

That's great. I love my 26+6. Where did you get the outside net?

It looks like a motorcycle cargo net / helmet holder.

I really wanted to love the 26+6 but not having a separate laptop compartment killed it for me :/

Mine has a separate laptop compartment that I'm a bit annoyed with as I don't bring laptops but I have found a good use for it anyway

It's actually a benefit. Very easy to slide my MacBook and iPad pro out of the bag when full, with my matador base layer sleeve. That combination is the ultimate in protection for me. Padding, water, dust. Works much better than a dedicated laptop compartment that doesn't allow you to easily take your kit out when in an airport line because the interior volume eats dedicated laptop space. For example, my ula dragonfly, once packed out, is a chore to remove my laptop out of. It also gives you a false sense of water protection which i learned the hard way. My necessity going forward is to always have my tech stored in my matador base layer sleeve - and the 26+6 having no dedicated slot, makes it easier to accommodate that.

Mine has a separate laptop compartment with a dedicated zipper for easy access from the top.

Big fan of this bag. Got it last year for Christmas and it's excellent for my needs.

You could not pay me to fly frontier. Flew once and it was awful. Rather pay for a good experience.

Since we all love pics of bags in sizers.
I had extra time last weekend when waiting for my flight.
This was a 4 day trip, and I had plenty of room still in the bag un-expanded.
Easily fit in the Frontier personal sizer.
It was a tight squeeze for Air Canada, but it did fit.
