Osprey Talon 22 Review:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0For my first ever product review I will tell you about the most vital piece of hiking gear I own<\/a>, the Osprey Talon 22 day pack.\u00a0 After using this backpack on almost every hike for the past 4 years, I fully recommend it.\u00a0 Ideal for those looking for an everyday outdoor adventure pack.\u00a0 Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with any brands.\u00a0 I use Amazon affiliate links to help fund my website.\u00a0 The products I list on my shop are all personally curated based purely on their own merits.\u00a0 Here’s what I’ve learned about this backpack over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Osprey Talon 22 Comparisons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Osprey<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Before this pack, I used a combination of various cheap backpacks.\u00a0 From ultralight packs with limited capacity to heavy multi-day packs, none suited both a short stroll and full-day adventure.\u00a0 The ultralight packs were great for quick, light and nimble hikes, but didn’t cut it for most others.\u00a0 Similarly, the large packs were great for multi-day camping trips but were overkill for most day hikes.\u00a0 After playing around with various iterations of these types, I did some research and settled on the Osprey Talon 22.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The Osprey Talon 22 (litre) pack is a perfect size<\/strong> for just about any day trip.\u00a0 It’s lightweight and comfortable enough that you can be quick and nimble but also packs enough storage for a full-day.\u00a0 I’ve used ultralight packs that fit like a glove and could comfortably jog with them.\u00a0 If pressed, you could do the same with this pack.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Where it may lack somewhat is if you are looking to carry much more than just the basics.\u00a0 You could not take this pack on a multi-day trip without leaving a lot behind.\u00a0 I’ve had it bursting at the seams, but more often than not it’s nearly full, but comfortably so.<\/p>\n

Comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of going from all of my previous packs to this one was the level of comfort.\u00a0 I read that it was comfortable and breathable and it certainly lived up to all of the hype.\u00a0 Loading it up with my typical day-hike load, I was astounded at how comfortable it was.\u00a0 A load that put a strain on my shoulders and back with other packs felt like nothing at all with this pack.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The perfect weight distribution is due to a well-engineered intertwined system of adjustments.\u00a0 Virtually every aspect of this pack is adjustable to your liking.\u00a0 More than just the typical shoulder, chest and waist strap adjustments, this pack even allows you to adjust the torso length.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A velcro adjustment allows you to move the entire back panel up or down to adjust to the length of your torso, to center the load perfectly on your back.\u00a0 Multiple shoulder adjustments combined with quick and easy waist belt adjustments make for a fit that’s akin to a soft hug<\/strong>.\u00a0 I can safely say that this pack is far and away the most comfortable pack I’ve ever worn.<\/p>\n

Durability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This pack has a lifetime warranty<\/strong>.\u00a0 So rare is a lifetime warranty that when I see one I assume one of two things.\u00a0 Often this means various terms, conditions, small print and hoops must be jumped through, ending in frustration.\u00a0 Sometimes the warranty is legit because the item is impeccably built, ultra-high-quality, but likely costs a fortune.\u00a0 The latter applies to Osprey packs, minus the costing a fortune.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Osprey is a very well known brand due to their quality.\u00a0 The warranty<\/a><\/em> is the stuff of legend.\u00a0 I can’t attest to the warranty process as I’ve never had to use it.\u00a0 After 4 years there is not one aspect of this pack that has worn or broken (save for the silkscreened Osprey logo wearing off).\u00a0 Despite its lightweight, this pack is engineered to last.<\/p>\n

Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Osprey<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The Osprey Talon 22 is fairly basic<\/strong> but has everything you need.\u00a0 With one large main compartment that can zip all the way open, this is where the majority of your gear will have to go.\u00a0 Besides one envelope sized mesh pocket, this main storage area has no other compartments.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0At first, I thought that it would be good to have more compartments for storage options here, but I quickly learned that the wide-open space made packing it easier in the end.\u00a0 The pack isn’t large enough to warrant multiple large storage compartments, so it’s up to you to do the segmenting.\u00a0 I do so with these handy mesh packing cubes.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Osprey<\/p>\n

Compartments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There are numerous other smaller storage compartments<\/strong> all around the bag.\u00a0 These allow you to store everything from trekking poles to your bike helmet.\u00a0 Pockets on the hip belt and mesh side pockets allow plenty of options for storing your mobile device, water bottle, camera and snacks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The small chest strap has a built-in safety whistle.\u00a0 The left shoulder strap has a small mesh pocket (which I use for quick access to my camera lens cleaning equipment)<\/a> as well as an adjustable loop to secure your trekking poles on the go.\u00a0 \u00a0As an outdoor photographer<\/a>, I need lots of storage for batteries and camera equipment.\u00a0 I use the hip belt pockets to store my GoPro batteries for quick battery changes on the go, as well as to store protein bars<\/a> and trail snacks for quick access.\u00a0 The stretchable side pockets are ideal for jamming things in quickly.\u00a0 I often stuff cans and other garbage in there as the mesh keeps things dry and segregated.<\/p>\n

Pockets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A large stretchy mesh back, secured with a locking clasp is perhaps my favourite part of the pack.\u00a0 The easy access, large size and stretchable, breathable nature of the spandex mesh make it ideal to stuff just about anything in there secure.\u00a0 Most often I stuff my DJI Spark<\/a> drone in there so I can quickly get it out when I’m at a particularly scenic spot.\u00a0 The clasp closure means I don’t have to worry about my drone falling out.<\/p>\n

\"Osprey<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On the top of the pack is a small pocket, good for a wallet, keys, and snacks.\u00a0 Complete with a secure keyring clasp, you won’t have to worry about your keys falling into oblivion, stranding you in the middle of nowhere.\u00a0 This top pocket could also be used for a small first aid kit or any number of smaller, quickly accessible essentials.\u00a0 Behind the main compartment but enclosed in its own sleeve is the hydration<\/strong> bladder compartment.\u00a0 Big enough to hold a 2-litre bladder comfortably and securely, separated from the rest of the pack so you don’t have to worry about a leak inside the pack.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The shoulder straps have elastic loops for the hose, making it able to accommodate virtually any brand of hydration bladder.\u00a0 These elastic straps are also great for attaching your sunglasses or, as I do; attaching a Bluetooth speaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"OspreyAttachments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There are some unique storage aspects of this pack that add lots of options to prepare<\/a> for any kind of outdoor adventure.\u00a0 Most notable is the side trekking pole attachment and rear helmet attachment<\/strong>.\u00a0 Both of these attachments are super easy and convenient.\u00a0 I don’t often use trekking poles, so most often in that spot, I have my tripod strapped firmly in place, and easily reachable.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lesser used is the bike helmet attachment, but when I have used it, it’s been really quick, easy and secure.\u00a0 The simple nature of the attachment is great for ease of use but also for its ability to work with just about any common bicycle helmet.\u00a0 These attachments are versatile enough to be adapted to attach any number of different items you can come up with.\u00a0 To top things off, underneath the bag is an attachment for a clip-on safety light<\/a> for visibility.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The cost of Osprey packs is always going to be a deterrent for many people.\u00a0 Although it’s more expensive than any pack I’d used previously, I think the price tag is worth every penny.\u00a0 An ideal day pack, that’s lasted 4 problem-free years with a lifetime warranty is worth it to me.\u00a0 The bottom line is that the price is a barrier to many people even if it is justified.<\/p>\n

Osprey Talon 22 – Nitpicking<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0While there aren’t many negative things I can say about this pack, I’m going to dig deep here to think of anything at all.\u00a0 The big one is that, while it is water-resistant, it’s not waterproof.\u00a0 \u00a0It will dry fairly quickly, but your gear won’t be safe from a hard downpour without a proper rain fly, which is also not included.\u00a0 A hydration bladder is also not included.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Another pet peeve, that I have with just about every pack, is that zippers can open on their own.\u00a0 I lost my drone remote control on one hike when I had my pack quite full, and sat the controller at the top of my pack, with the zippers probably not completely done up.\u00a0 They eventually separated and unzipped a large gap, allowing the remote to jump out.\u00a0 The same goes for the hip pockets.\u00a0 They can catch on brush and open themselves without you noticing.\u00a0 I solve the issue by using a carabiner<\/a> to attach the two zippers of the main compartment together, but as for the hip pockets, I just have to keep an eye on them.<\/p>\n
