Daylite Water Repellent Tote Pack

Is there anyone who hasn't tried several bags that claim to convert from a backpack to a tote, only to be disappointed with the lack of product testing? I'm hoping this Osprey will beat the odds. The bottom backpack straps DO tuck in the bottom (look for small openings that allow you to store in the back lowermost section), or tuck away the tote handles. Check Osprey's site for more detailed reviews, as well as a less-male centric video than this site has. This bag isn't just for men going to golf.

I have had this bag a few days now. It had plenty of room for daily essentials plus whatever you might acquire during a day out. I love that it has the pass through using with luggage. My one complaint is that the backpack straps have a place where they can be tucked away when you aren’t using them but the smaller straps at the bottom of the bag have nowhere to go! Reckon I might be missing something… overall I recommend this bag.

Found one in green (last) at a sale price, so definitely like that better! Very functional, versatile, super light yet appears to be very durable. Deep (long), so bigger than as viewed on the web. Dimension is available. Definitely great for abroad traveling (main interest) as well as using it as a tote for food temperature control, or a laptop backpack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent size. But light color material got dirty too easy. Biggest issue is the tote handles. Loop Opening too small to comfortably carry on your shoulder, it’s right under your armpit so if the bag is full, your arm can’t rest on your side. And when you’re gripping the handles in your palm, you can’t transition to you shoulder cuz your elbow won’t fit through the loops. You have to use your other hand to slide it up your arm like you would through the sleeve of a sweater.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm holding off on using this bag until my next vacation. Already I can tell it'll be useful for my wife and I to get some of our shopping done during travel. Many shops have narrow areas with breakables all around. Something that doubles as a tote will be perfect for that. The fabric is nice and thick, sturdy. The straps are thin so that they fold into the bag and out of the way without making it bulge. The interior pocket is roomy. I've practiced with packing my tablet and can get some clothing items in there, and can see myself packing away some other things on a shopping expedition through Chicago on top of that. I'll likely take this to some trade shows in the future. A backpack just doesn't work with a dress suit when you're trying to make an impression. The pack does feel comfortable. I wouldn't overpack the thing with weight though. The straps aren't the same as my all purpose roll-top Osprey bag. I could see these becoming uncomfortable if you did that.
