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

Size is perfect for my needs (Day hiking). It’s well constructed and so far I’m very happy with it.

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.

again, love the product however, the amount shown and what I paid it would have been cheaper to purchase it from a regular retailer.

Ive never owned a daypack that compares to this one. Im tall-ish and broad-shouldered, so the many customizable adjustments this pack offers already put it far above other daypacks Ive owned.

Overall, the pack is very well built and comfortable to use. I like the fact that you can stow and unstow your trekking poles without having to take off the pack itself. The big negative, unfortunately, is that inserting a full water bladder is kind of a fight. The opening is right behind the adjustment panel for the shoulder straps and is very narrow. You cant really get your hand / arm in there along with a full bladder in order to seat it correctly. You have to rely on gravity and some shaking. I wouldnt want to try and refill it while on the trail.

Such a great backpack. Took it on two hikes and I couldnt have been more happier. Just the ideal load capacity for a day hike. Super comfortable. The load distribution doesnt make your back feel overloaded.

Bought this pack to take on our Colorado vacation. Was able to carry all the needed items for 2 adults and a pup. The easy access pockets were helpful.

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.

On the surface this pack looks like it has it all. However as a life Osprey owner and avid hiker this bag fails on so many levels. The hydration sleeve is useless for anything less than 1.0 L. Trying to use the sleeve with Ospreys own hydration bladder barely fits when empty let alone when it’s full without risking rupture. The main storage area is fairly small, bottle holder is useless and doesn’t properly hold anything. The hiking pole attachment is flimsy and it broke on first use.

Awesome day pack
