Osprey Talon 22 Men's Hiking Pack

Product Information

His biggest travel achievements include pushing a shitty tuk-tuk into the Himalayas, leading a group trip to Pakistan and surviving many near death experiences. A great addition to the Daylite Plus is the open-topped stash pocket for a jacket or other quick-use items.

For walkers with larger bodies (including the 25% of women who are a size 18 or above), the arrival of the outdoor industry's first dedicated plus size pack collection will be met with a sigh of relief, says Steph Wetherell. You shove the bottom of the poles into that loop down on the base of the body of the pack then put the bit on the shoulder straps around the handles of the poles.As the leader in custom-fit backpacks, out pack-fitting technique ensures a properly fitting pack that maximise efficiency, comfort and safety both on and off the trail. A smaller internal zipped mesh pocket is the place for the smartphone and car keys - it includes the essential key clip. The pocket layout of the Talon is fairly straightforward but gets the job done in divvying up your gear.

Apart from a couple of small frustrations, this pack has been great for us, especially if you have neck and shoulder problems. As a small but versatile day pack for fine conditions and a variety of uses, the Talon 22 seemed a good choice to review. As we mentioned above, the Talon is a very popular sight on the trails, but there’s plenty of formidable competition in the daypack market.To protect against protozoa, bacteria, and even viruses, there is a wide range of water filtration and purification. The helmet attachment is easy to use, and the stretchy mesh stash pocket is handy for quickly stuffing an extra layer or crampons. The Talon 22 is perfectly at home thrashing around the mountains, travelling across the world or lugging your stuff around on the daily commute.

My only criticism with the movable fit is that when it's pulled right up for a larger user, the top tensioner straps become offset from the padding and end up running over your exposed shoulders. If you want a pack for hiking, biking and travel, and it absolutely has to be an Osprey, then the Talon Earth 22 is an excellent choice.What makes the Osprey Talon 22 a top seller year after year is its balance of weight, comfort, and features. While the hex-mesh material on the back panel and hip belts can be rough for bare skin, it helps keep the pack from slipping during dynamic activities like scrambling. The shoulder harness and hip belt are made with BioStretch materials, die cut EVA foam and stretch fabrics so they flex and move with your body for un-restricted movement when scrambling, climbing and trekking. It's perfectly at home thrashing around the mountains, travelling across the world or lugging your stuff around on the daily commute.
