Osprey Talon 22 Men's Hiking Pack

Product Information

A clear Best Buy winner, the updated Flash 22 is lighter than ever while still providing excellent versatility The Osprey Talon 22 is an established favorite among hikers. It’s popular for the brand, but also because of its specs and lightweight profile that makes for good trail running and biking too. The shoulder harness and hip belt are made with BioStretch materials, die-cut EVA foam and stretch fabrics so they flex and move with your body for unrestricted movement when scrambling, climbing and trekking. Osprey’s shoulder straps and hip belts are flexible, stretchy foam and mesh that hold tight during activity. The compression/stability shoulder and hip straps allow for a fully adjustable torso bag. Seamless lumbar-to-hipbelt body wrap and BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificing stability for dynamic body movement

The shoulder straps are not as dense as Arc’teryx Brize 25, but it’s enough given its 22-liter capacity and the balance the entire suspension system provides. The same goes for its hip belt. They’re easy to calibrate on the fly and don’t dig on the skin. I put this bag through the wringer, hiking it in the Aleutian Islands and Alaska for 6 weeks, to the Door County peninsula in Wisconsin, and many points in between. It handled a large variety of gear and held up great through long days of surveying and digging. I used the 2013 Osprey Talon 22 with a nylon fabric around the body. It’s tough but stretchy. Heavier 210D nylon strengthens the base of the bag (recent versions have 420D nylon there). The fabric withstood surveying through thorny bushes and didn’t tear once from a single tree or bush catch. Bungee helmet tab, blinker light patch, ice axe loop and bungee holder, front-side pole carry bungee loops

There’s a slight elasticity to them and a honeycomb mesh over some lightweight padding stops you getting too sweaty. If you need more room, look at Aerios at 30 liters or the cheaper and conventional Borealis. Want to size down? Motion Arc is compact at 20 liters only.

Side tension straps are linked to the hipbelt. By tightening these straps you can stabilise the load but reduce the hipbelt flexibility. Where balance is critical tightening them can help you feel more secure. However, if you are striding out over easy terrain it’s better to loosen these straps to allow full hip flexibility.Integrated BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificing stability for dynamic body movement Injection-molded AirScape framesheet with die-cut foam provides a close-to-body stable fit while offering flexibility and ventilated airflow channels for active use Hi!
