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.

Maybe. This bag holds a lot of stuff, depends on how much you filled it and if the items were flexible or soft

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

Whether or not an item fits most often depends on how much you pack into it. My best guess would be no. This is a quite roomy pack and one would probably tend to overfill.

It would if it was the only thing in the suitcase (or maybe just packed with enough clothes for one overnight stay). It can fold up, but is still pretty bulky.

I wouldn't recommend it. If you'd really like to take it backpacking, I'd suggest making a PVC tube with end caps and a strap. Even in it's folded up condition, it's a little bulky for a backpack. PVC is light, cheap, and extremely tough.

It was not that heavy and rolls up into a small pouch. It is not waterproof. I think you can get away with it for backpacking, but the rain???

I'm not sure but i wouldnt recomend this as a backpacking bag because the waist support is flimsy and doesnt support much. I got this for my girlfriend but we then returned it and got a larger one from the same company that has better waist support tjat works well.

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.

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

No, I wouldn't recommend this product for that purpose. It is more like a fabric that a backpack is made out of.
2068549
yes, it can. The padding has velcro so you can rearrange it to fit the items you want to store in the pack.

I will fit over one of the smaller day packs easily. We have not tried it over a full sized pack.

This worked as a day pack for banging around Scotland and could hold a couple of rain jackets, snacks, maps and a bottle of water, but I can't imaging it handling a stack of books. The image makes it look roomier than it is and as another commenter noted, there is zero padding. I'd check out other options, perhaps a rolling backpack.

I have stashed 'backpacking' sleeping bag in the pack with minimal clothes. Have not tried packing a tent into it yet, but imagine you could strap one to it externally. Or if you had a really compact tent (I don't), that may work.

I would think so...it has straps to carry like a back pack. It is big when folded flat. It didn't seem heavy when carrying but I haven't carried mine a long distance.

most definitely. it's easy to pack.... probably about 12" long and 5" in diameter....
