Talon 22 Mens Hiking Backpack, Eclipse Grey, Large/X-Large

I love these back packs! Ive now given 6 a of these away as graduation gifts to my nieces, nephews, and family friends. Im hoping that my wife picks up on my infatuation with these soon and hooks me up with one of my own. I have 2 other Osprey packs, as well as several other backpacks from some of the top name brand companies, but these are the best made packs for my money.

We took a trip to 9 national parks a couple months ago, and used 4 different backpacks for a dozen or so hikes. These are the packs we used: this one (Osprey Talon 22), an Osprey Hikelite 18, a Gregory Swift 15, and a Mountainsmith Clear Creek 15.

I bought this backpack to hike Half Dome. Great investment. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Well-constructed, surprisingly roomy, great ventilation.

I bought this for a 12 day trip to Hawaii. At 6’4” and 245 pounds, a day pack can look comical on my back. This pack and very adjustable, sturdy, well constructed, and full of functional storage. We hike 9 of our 12 days and was able to fit everything we needed.

I think that the first thing that I noticed was that the waist straps sit on my hips which takes that much more weight off of the hips. Pole holding straps work well. Cooling mesh is comfortable (Ive only hike with it in cool conditions, so dont know how well it cools in hot weather.)

I really like that it holds the hydration bag away from my back, but is balanced. Very lightweight and comfy.

I am 63 in 215 lb. I bought this Talon 22 thinking it might actually fit me after a discussion with the customer service people at Osprey.

fast shipping great quality I love it! Best backpack ever!

Very comfortable, I went from a small Osprey daypack to this one. Much more room.
