Great 44L Pack
1 month ago
The Talon 44 (2025) is a great size, able to support single to multi day trekking. Plenty of space for everything. Added zips at the bottom of the bag to access kit separately if it is buried within the bulk of the bag. The H20 system is great, with the new bladder clip being super easy to use. The exterior pockets are designed with Nalgene's in mind, the pockets do not become useless when the bag is full, an issue with many other bag companies. The exterior flex pocket is great fit those must reach items, and the waist pockets are a great size to hold essentials. The only down side is that the bag does not come with a rain cover. I purchased an osprey one separate and it is fantastic.

Generally good, but watch the weight…

Used this bag for a three day hike in changeable conditions. It ended up on the heavy side and by day 3 the straps were really beginning to dig in. They feel less padded than something like the Kestrel and it really starts to show with a heavier pack.

Solid pack but uncomfortable for heavy loads
3 months ago
Solid pack but after five days of backcountry use I’ll be returning it. Here are my thoughts: What I dislike * The shoulder straps don’t have much padding and rest relatively close to the midline. Each day after about 4 hours of hiking the upper section of my trapezius muscles would hurt, around the base of the right angle with my neck (20-30 lbs weight in the pack) * The plastic buckles for the back of the brain would dig into my back * Side water bottle pockets are small. Ideally I’d like to fit 2 smart water bottles in each side pocket. If the pack is tightly packed, it pushes outward on the pockets making it difficult to even fit one bottle. Good luck fitting a Nalgene. What I like: * Stow-on-the-go trekking pole trekking pole holders are very convenient. But this is found on most osprey packs. * Forward facing water bottle access on the side pockets is also convenient (though are also subject to the tightness mentioned above) * Stretch mesh front pocket What I’m neutral on: * Airscape backpanel. My back still sweat, though it may have sweet more without this. * Sleeping bag access zipper from the bottom. What I pack on the bottom is the last thing I need one setting up camp so always take it out last anyway. * Removable brain. Why would I ever do this?
