5 Backpack Sizes EXPLAINED (The Only Guide You'll Need)

Away Together w/ Nik and Allie just covered how to actually pick the right backpack size, and honestly, it’s a pretty helpful reality check on those liter counts. The video walks through five specific options, ranging from the lightweight Osprey Ultralight Collapsible Stuff Pack and the expandable Daylite 26+6 to larger options like the tomtoc 40L, the Daylite Carry-On 35L, and the Osprey Sojourn Porter 46L. It’s interesting to see how these bags function differently depending on if you’re just packing for a day trip or heading out for a longer flight. They even include a sixth mystery bag in the mix, which makes for a pretty thorough look at how gear capacity actually translates to real-world travel.
