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

I have gone through a number of back packs over the years and this is the latest. I havent given it a good trial yet, but will soon be using it as weather allows. The area to get a bladder in is very narrow and difficult to use. Also as in one of my shared pics, Im not sure how the bladder strap is supposed to work.

Best one I’ve ever had! So far exceeding my expectations

I love my new backpack! Ive had a variety of brands over the years but this is by far the most comfortable pack Ive used. Its very comfortable, and has plenty of adjustment to make it fit even better. Ive caught myself packing more than I normally ever would just because it is so comfortable to me. Plenty of room for anything me and my four legged hiking companion could ever need for a long day on the trail.

I bought this for my wife for hiking on an overseas trip. Once the fit is dialed in and you understand the features, it is amazing. I wish I had bought one for myself now.

I’ve been using a 50L GoLite Jam for longer day hikes because it has comfortable padded waist and shoulder straps. I bought a Talon 22 ML/XL to use on days when I’m carrying smaller loads. Most daypacks have unpadded waist belts and marginally padded shoulder straps that are uncomfortable for all day hiking.

This backpack is the perfect size for day hikes. Between bottles and water bladders I was able to fit 5 liters in this bag. It’s not too big and not too small.

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

My husband, son, and I have other Osprey packs, some of which weve had for many years, so Osprey is a brand we know, trust, and love. Osprey has an awesome guarantee, their All Mighty Guarantee, and their packs are thoughtfully designed and well made. Although written by me, the following is from the perspective of my husband and son.

This is an awesome pack, but the fact that Osprey doesnt include a bladder with a hydration pack is absurd to me.
