Could this work as a day pack that rolls up or otherwise stuffs into a pack while on an extended backpacking trip?

Yes. Wasn't sure but just checked. Material is sturdy but would be easy to roll up or tuck away (water bladder empty of course).

you could roll it up. Only issue I see is that it has a bit of back support built into it. Not much, but enough to keep it from "stuffing" nicely. It does have rings and straps on it that are built to attach it externally to other osprey packs to increase overall storage capacity. So even if its not built for the pack you have, external storage would probably still be an option.

Not readily no, but it is possible. It is however made to attach to the outside of full sized Osprey packs, so perhaps your pack will work as well.

Yes. I'd think so. I would think after a few moves it could become damaged though - since there isn't any reinforcing I would think it wasn't designed for frequent handling. I suspect if a person were careful it might work. If I remember correctly it weighs a few pounds. This would not be my first choice for hiking / backpacking.

I just tried it on as a back pack and it seems like it would work just fine. the waist strap buckled just fine and the shoulder straps felt good as well.

likely yes. I used it with a large day pack with no problem even in a tropical rainforest. It was excellent.

I think it should fit inside a hiking backpack or you could at least affix it to the outside. It does fold up nicely.

Should be enough room, but I don't think it would be durable if use as a Laptop backpack

It does not fold completely flat. Would probably take up more room in your backpack than you would want.

It would work excellent. There is a stabilizer strap for holding the bag tight that most people tuck into the opposite strap slot. With this strap snapped into the single strap the pack is very stable. I use my pack for every hike I have been on, it is my Man Purse.

It won't roll up; it has a flexible wire frame. Folded up, it's the size of the panel with the door. It's very lightweight, so you might be able to just hang it off the back of your pack.

Absolutely i can fit a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, one man tent, cook pot, and some changes of clothes easily in this pack. Raingear, first aid kit, bottle of booze, etc. it all fits well. I think this could pack could be used for 5-6 days comfortably if you only take what you actually need and pack effeciently.

It can be done.. I most often just roll/fold it flat or roll it tight and wrap it with a large rubber band, or just stuff it in to avoid having more items in my pack to deal with.

I have used it before as a carry-on. Both domestic and international flights. You can unzip the daypack and have that as your "personal" bag.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

No, this would not be a good pack for carrying that much weight. I bought it to take on the Camino in the fall. It was great for afternoons and evening just to carry light weight personal items. The beauty of this pack is that is can be condensed. The straps are not very well padded. It is not intended to be used as a main back pack. More of a travel accessory.

If I am not mistaken, this backpack is also designed to accommodate a water pack that is specific to the daypack that you can purchase separately. It has a pocket in the back that it will slide into. I do not have it but have seen it on other packs. you may want to check into it.

No, this would not easily fit in a back pack. It is too large and would bend and crease.

I would believe so... it's not an overly large pack and is fairly light weight.
