Osprey Talon 22, October 4, 2008This is an incredible backpack. Just competed in a 30+ hour race and it held up perfectly. In a couple of weeks I am going to be putting it through another adventure race and i know its going to be great.… All the zippers are well crafted and are not made of cheap material. It can take a beating and its a very comfortable fit. The space where you insert the Camelpak into is so much easier to use compared to other packs I have used. What I mean by that is that the pouch is an independent section of the pack, while in other backpacks, where you put the water source, you have to use it for other reasons. A friend of mine using a Solomon, and after seeing my pack in action, he said hes going to be purchasing an Osprey. Also, the size of the pack is perfect. The 22 is just about right for any race. If you are going to be doing a 16 hour race or a 30 hour race, this is perfect. Also, if you are just going to be hiking or on a bike ride around a park, this pack would be great. I cant say enough about this pack. If I were you I would buy it now!

Based on seven hiking trips, the reviewer reports that the hip belt and back ventilation work extremely well, as do the compression straps. A minor drawback is that the compression straps limit access to the side pockets.

A sports rehabilitation specialist recommends the Osprey Talon 22 as one of three backpacks with especially good ergonomics. The Talon 22 also earns praise for its space and organization pockets.
