Osprey Packs: Talon 22 Backpack

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.
