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.

Great Pack!
This is fantastic pack, light weight, excellent. I traveled in Europe with my Talon 22 which is useful and comfortable to me. And Altrec is a great online shop with large selection of packs and traveling gear. Good!

Great pack, light and plenty of room
I love this pack. I bought it for day hikes, and have used it on a 30mile, fund-raising walk and as a carry-on for airlines as well. I like the adjustable harness and the bag is light but substantial. Hip belt is comfortable and the little zippered pouches are great for snacks and chapstick. pouches on the shoulder harness are handy and the main compartment is spacious and easy to access. Great day pack with cool features. Highly recommend!

very good pack
I'm a 5'6" 115# female with a long torso so packs don't always fit well. The Talon 22 was very comfortable and adjusted to fit me and so light weight. On a day hike it can adjust it's capacity for a major mushroom find. I think it is a well thought out pack for day or short over night trips.
