Osprey Packs: Talon 22 Backpack - Altrec.com Product Description:

For those looking for a mountain biking backpack, full-day adventure race backpack, or a well-built day hiking pack, the Osprey Talon 22 is a worthy choice. Osprey holds on tight to their well-deserved reputation for comfortable load carriers here, with a lightweight, yet effective suspension that nicely transfers the weight to the mesh covered, perforated hipbelt. The shoulder harness is also mesh covered and perforated for moisture wicking comfort that gives you room to breathe when grinding over a pass or traversing a sun-baked boulder field. The main pack bag has panel loading access, which makes finding gear easy. A large slash pocket offers a separate space for further gear organization, while three stretch woven exterior pockets allow for packing gear in a hurry. Recommended load carrying capacity is 15 to 20 lbs.

Osprey Packs: Talon 22 Backpack - 7 Reviews

Jeanett - 2009-01-04
Just what I expected. I work at REI and have sold hundreds of these packs. When I finally decided to buy one, we were sold out! And no wonder. This pack is perfect for my every day commute. The zippers are covered for my bus ride, my rain jacket fits nicely in the front open pouch. Inside the main compartment there is a place for my money stash and another pocket for my cell phone, etc. The main mistake people make is thinking this pack is made for laptops or large books. It is designed to be a daypack - meaning no more than 20 pounds and if you want it to work right, the weight should be distributed evenly. Lunch, shoes, keys, water bottle, camera, ipod, rain jacket, and whatever else you need - I couldn't have asked for a better pack.

search no further, this pack does it all! MTB, running, hiking, or just everyday use this pack is your "do it all." My favorite features of this pack would have to be the two hip belt pockets and the two shoulder strap pockets. The side belt pockets are perfect for cell phones, gps, cameras, wallet etc...the two shoulder pockets are great for that quick energy bar snack on the go, or maybe even compass. No pack can be everything, but this one comes close!

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

nice day-pack I cross-country ski to my car-pool pickup and drop-off location each day and this pack has been perfect for carrying my lunch and a few books. It is lightweight and has easy to open and close pockets. The water-bladder pocket works well.
