Slim, comfortable and excellent fit
Canyon Hiker3 years ago
The Osprey Talon 22 is the Cadillac of day packs. It is supremely adjustable for a precise fit and holds enough for winter season excursions into the backcountry, full rain gear, down jacket and pants just in case. The frame sheet is very supportive so this will handle a good load of water and all the food I need. It hugs my back and rides so well I just forget about it while hiking rough routes and off trail explorations. Take a sit pad and lean the Talon against a rock or bank and it makes a comfortable ground chair.
The color design is much improved and looks exceptionally good. Osprey builds some amazing packs. I have a Talon 36 and an Osprey Aether 60 as well and have only complements for the fit and comfort.

almost perfect but fatal flaw
acott3 years ago
This bag on the surface has all the features on would expect from osprey. However a huge oversight in my opinion is the hydration sleeve. When the pack is full it is almost impossible to get a filled hydration bladder into the hydration sleeve. In fact even if the pack is empty it’s still difficult and you risk rupturing the hydration bladder. I was using a osprey brand hydration bladder so you would think it would be compatible. As someone who hikes all the time time this is a deal killer and I will be returning.

Basically my perfect day pack.
3 years ago
There's a lot to unpack here (yeah I said it) so I'll bullet stuff. - 3 zip-shut storage areas - 1 water bladder pocket - 2 water bottle slots (sides) - 1 rear stowage quick access pocket - 2 zipper hip pockets - 1 tiny arm loop pocket (for maybe a pocket knife for flashlight) - Light but sturdy material - Adjustable shoulder straps let you adjust the sitting height - Plenty of straps to tighten down your load - Trekking pole loops The only thing I'd really honestly say needs improvement is just the trekking pole loop. It's an adjustable loop that uses a stretchy elastic cord that's in a loop and tightened with one of those plastic tension clips. After 30 minutes or so of hiking the poles would wiggle lose and would flop around. It didn't matter much since I used the poles most of the hike but if I wanted them put away I'd have to tighten them down every 30 minutes.

Proprietary Hydration Bladder attachment system :(
1 year ago
They got rid of the buckle loop for attaching hydration reservoirs in the pouch. It's now just a single short runner with a plastic piece on the end. Intended to work with their hydration reservoirs which have a hook shaped tab that the runner can be slid on to. Makes it incredibly cumbersome to attach any non osprey bladders to the bag. You have to loop the runner around the plastic and loop it into itself. Which it's just long enough to do, but short enough that you'll have a really hard time getting it done or undone. Like I want to be fumbling with this too short loop when I'm exhausted and trying to refill my water.

BETTER than the old version
4 years ago
The thing I hated the most about the old version was the back panel. I always thought it was a gimmick, a marketing ploy. When using it with a bladder, the soft back panel would bow in and basically make it stick to my back. I had a sweaty back every time I used it on a hike. I returned it after a few weeks. On the new version, they have more or less fixed this issue with the stiffer backpanel. It's not as ventilated as their AirSpeed backpanel (I also have a Hikelite 26) but it's ventilated enough as it doesn't stick to my back anymore. It's also quite comfortable after I adjusted it to my torso length, more comfortable than the packs with the AirSpeed back panels. It's also a much much nicer looking than the old version!

Of all my gear, this is the thing I use the most
2 years ago
I use this backpack every single day. No exaggeration. I pack my work things in it, from extra clothes, to books, to tools. I have used it skiing (til I got a smaller osprey for that), hiking fourteeners, biking, fishing, and everything in between. This is my go to for carrying edc or gifts I want to keep hidden. I love the grey, the fabric is holding up well, the only damage is on the outer stretchy material from crashing skiing on ice. It has space for a bladder, great pockets in the waist strap, and great zipper handles. 11/10, would recommend, or buy another color. And happy for the lifetime guarantee. I'm sure I'll use it in 20 years ;)

Great pack for day hikes and the likes!

A pretty good pack ergonomically, weight, and style however I wonder how long would it last. After the first day of use I could already see the fabric with small abrasion marks. My other Osprey that I’ve used for backpacking has yet to show this even though I’ve beaten it up on multiple trips and same goes for my ultralight pack by SWD. I still think this is a good pack and so far will be my go to day pack but let me find our Osprey is slipping!

Versatile daypack
10 months ago
Reading the reviews I almost passed on this pack. I purchased an osprey 2.5 liter hydration bladder and it literally slides right in. The Stratos and Manta have more complex suspension systems and may lend themselves to better back ventilation on sweaty hikes but the form factor to volume ratio on the Talon is wher it shines. Water is heavy and you definitely want a solid suspension system to space out weight even on a pack this small. For a pack this small it provides versatility. I wish it had a waterproof cover built in but this is a summer day bag for me and i get extra volume by omitting that feature. All around this is a fantastic daypack.

Great Day Pack
1 year ago
I absolutely loved this pack during my recent outing to Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s compact yet held everything I needed for our 10 hour day hikes Very comfortable and easy to adjust on the move and to remove when taking breaks. Durable with with great pockets and sturdy zippers that Carrie’s everything I needed. Hydration pack fit perfect and stabilized nicely with the hook. Didn’t need my poles this time but they also fit nicely under the arm and secured to the pack.

I have an old Talon 22, when I say old I mean from 2014. Little things have changed between mine and the current versions (I’d love the cell phone pocket that fits modern cell phones) but the bones are the same. And this has been a rockstar. From countless day trips, to being my go-to travel bag for work and short family trips (who needs a suitcase!) over the last 7 years it has seen an incredible amount of abuse. It’s dirty. Has gum stuck inside the mesh from the floor of an airplane (gross) but the thing it isn’t is worn out. No broken clips, no worn edges, zippers are perfect, nylon is in great shape. It just won’t quit.

Review from husband

Great hip belt with large pockets, nice design and perfect size for a long day hike. The back panel is pretty good but not as good as Osprey's trampoline back. It is difficult but not impossible for me to get my water bottles in and out of the mesh side pockets. I like the roomy rear mesh pocket - hard to find on a daypack. I give this pack a poor review because the shoulder straps do not have enough padding for the load capacity of this pack. I really wanted to love this pack but the shoulder straps are the most important part of the pack and they did'nt work for me.
