Osprey Daylite Carry-On Wheeled Duffel Overview
The Daylite Carry-On Wheeled Duffel 40 is a compact, airline-ready travel bag designed for short trips, weekend breaks and flexible carry-on use. Combining the convenience of rolling luggage with the adaptability of a duffel and backpack, it's built for travellers who want simplicity without sacrificing function.
A patented collapsible frame allows the bag to compress for easier storage between trips. The two-wheel system and retractable trolley handle provide smooth rolling through airports and city streets, while detachable backpack straps give you hands-free carry when terrain or stairs demand it.
Part of the Daylite Travel Series, it balances lightweight performance with durable recycled materials designed for life on the move.

Materials and Construction
Main Body- 450D Recycled Polyester Ripstop
The main fabric uses Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 450D polyester with a ripstop weave. This construction improves tear resistance while keeping overall weight low. A PFAS-free DWR treatment helps repel light moisture during travel.
Base Panel- 900D Recycled Polyester
The bottom is reinforced with heavier-duty Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 900D polyester. The higher denier fabric increases durability in high-abrasion zones such as luggage holds and rough ground. It also features a PFAS-free DWR finish.
Lining- 200D Recycled Polyester
Inside, a Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled 200D polyester liner keeps weight down while maintaining durability and responsible manufacturing standards.
Mesh Components
Any mesh elements are constructed from Bluesign-approved, 100% recycled polyester, aligning with Osprey's environmental commitments.
All primary fabrics meet Bluesign standards, meaning they are produced under strict environmental and safety controls covering chemical management, water use and energy efficiency throughout the supply chain.
