Notes from our data check
osprey.com (US page https://www.osprey.com/daylitetm-expandable-travel-pack-26-6 and the EU page) returns a Cloudflare 403 to automated access, so specs come from the official Osprey Australia store: 'VOLUME 26 L DIMENSIONS 43 cmH X 33 cmW X 16 cmD WEIGHT 0.84 kg', 'Lightweight: 1.85 lbs., 0.84 kg.' Inches are converted from cm. Brand says 'Internationally accepted "personal item" dimensions, accepted by 85% of biggest airlines'. EXPANDS: 'Main compartment expansion 2”/6L' (to 32 L). Expanded external dims are not published, so expandedDims is null. If the 2" is added to depth, it becomes about 21 cm and stops fitting most personal-item limits. Laptop: 'Simple laptop sleeve', no size. US price unconfirmed because the osprey.com page is blocked (an Amazon search extract showed $108), so null. ASIN from Amazon page title 'Osprey Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack, Black OS'; page not opened. Other colour ASINs: B0CN1JCRSD, B0DF863NS2.
