Osprey Talon 22L Men's Hiking Backpack with Hipbelt, Ceramic Blue, S/M

I recently purchased this Osprey Talon 22L Men's Hiking Backpack, and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. This product deserves a solid 5-star rating!! This is my first Osprey backpack, and it left a remarkable impression. The level of support this backpack provides is truly outstanding and it fits me perfectly. It's designed to comfortably carry the weight and essentials needed for a day hike, and it does so with ease. The 22L capacity provides ample space for all my day hike essentials, and the quality of the bag is exceptional. I have a 3L Platypus Big Zip EVO Reservoir and I was able to fit it in perfectly without any issues, ensuring I stay well-hydrated during my hikes. The hip belt pockets are a fantastic addition, perfect for conveniently storing snacks or other small items you want to access quickly. The side pockets for water bottles are also a great feature, adding to the convenience of this backpack. I must also mention the strong and durable zippers that give me confidence that this backpack will last for many adventures to come. What makes this review even more special is that this backpack accompanied me on my trip to the Canadian Rockies, making my hiking experience in the Canadian Rockies truly unforgettable. Overall, I absolutely love this backpack!! :D

I used the women's version of this pack (the Tempest 20) for years; it's still perfectly functional, but quite worn after lots of hiking and traveling. I picked up this one last summer before moving abroad, and I couldn't be happier with it! It serves as my everyday laptop bag, hiking pack, and personal item for travel. It's lightweight but super sturdy - aside from the logo wearing off, the pack is still in perfect condition after close to a year of daily use. It's spacious enough to work as my only bag for 3-5 day trips but still fits under any plane seat, and the harness system and back panel make it comfortable for long travel days and long hikes. I recently picked up the 33L version to tackle the Camino de Santiago this summer.

I was looking for good quality day pack that is very comfortable to wear across all the seasons. After doing a ton of reasearch, I went for the Osprey Talon 22L and have been thrilled. This backpack is incredibly well constructed and designed. The adjustable shoulder straps and hipbelt are very comfortable and the back panel is very breathable and keeps you cool. The storage compartments are ample and the zippers are very durable. This is an excellent quality pack and I would highly recommend this brand and style. Before purchasing, just be sure to use Osprey's guide regarding sizing. I went for the L/XL and it is very comfortable. Cheers & Safe Exploring!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great pack for hiking! Holds plenty of water and miscellaneous items for a day of hiking. Is comfortable to carry. Would buy again.

I've owned just about every major brand of daypack on the market, and I keep coming back to Osprey. Finding the perfect daypack has been something of an obsession for me, and I think I finally found it in the Talon. Hiking is always a balance between how much weight you want to carry vs how prepared you want to be, and I think this pack strikes a good middle ground. This pack is just big enough for a 2-2.5 liter bladder, raincoat, light jacket, gloves, beanie, pack rainfly, first aid, knife, snacks, and camera. I initially used the Osprey Manta as a daypack and wanted something a bit smaller that would carry closer to the body, and the Talon is perfect. The backpanel is not as breathable as the Manta is, however you won't be soaked in sweat like some other dyneema or nylon bags. The hip belt is perfect, not too big or small, and it keeps the load on your hips. The shoulder straps fit great and are breathable as well, they also have a strap for the bladder tube. There is a built in whistle on the chest strap, so that's a plus since not only do you not need to carry one, but you can't lose it. I do have one complaint on this pack, and it's that the bladder is a real pain to get in. In the Manta, there's a separate zippered pouch for the bladder, and it goes in super easy, even when the pack is full. The Talon, not so much. I find it best to unload most of the main compartment to get the bladder in, then reloading the main. If a zipper was added down one side with one detachable shoulder tension strap, this problem could be alleviated, but it would add weight to the pack. Overall, The Talon is great with the exception of that tight bladder opening. I would recommend this pack for someone who counts their grams and wants to go farther, it's a good summit pack and a great smaller sized daypack. If you carry more gear or weight I would recommend the Manta, it carries weight much better with its frame, and it is also more ventilated, but it does sit farther away from your body.

I have taken this pack with me on about 20 different day hikes. It's great! Comfortable, light, and generally good for quick access to items you need. The side pockets are at just the right position to grab your water, and the hip belt makes it easy to access snacks or tools you regularly need. I can fit two 1l bottles in the side pockets, layers up to a rain shell and down jacket, gloves, boonie, beanie, electronics (battery, gimbal), a bladder with 1l of extra water and my lunch, with some space to spare. When I have it all packed for a day hike, the total weight is around 5-6kg. There are two minor complaints. First, there is no bottom access. So anything you put at the bottom can only be accessed if you pull everything out, or squeeze it past everything if you have the space to. Second, this pack doesn't come with a rain cover, and it doesn't have a dedicated spot to store one. A minor gripe, but I would advise buying a rain cover along with the pack, just so you don't forget when it rains on the trail. Overall, a very good pack, and one I will be using for many years, I bet!

Perfekter Wanderrucksack für jedes Abenteuer! 🎒⛰️ Der Osprey Talon 22 ist der ideale Rucksack für alle, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind. Mit nur 22 Litern Volumen bietet er ausreichend Platz für alle wichtigen Dinge, ohne dass er zu groß oder schwer wird. Besonders begeistert mich das durchdachte Design – der Rucksack sitzt super bequem und stabil, egal wie lange die Tour dauert. Die Schultergurte und der Hüftgurt sind angenehm gepolstert und lassen sich individuell einstellen. Das AirScape Rückensystem sorgt für eine hervorragende Belüftung, sodass der Rücken auch bei längeren Wanderungen angenehm trocken bleibt. Zudem bieten die vielen Taschen und Fächer eine perfekte Organisation für Ausrüstung, Snacks und Getränke. Der Rucksack ist zudem leicht und robust, ideal für den Einsatz bei verschiedenen Wetterbedingungen. Alles in allem ein hochwertiger, funktionaler Wanderrucksack, der in Sachen Komfort und Design keine Wünsche offenlässt. Für Wanderer und Outdoor-Enthusiasten absolut empfehlenswert! 🥾🔥

Super qualité, mais attention ne prenez pas le S si vous mesurez plus d'1m70. J'ai eu les deux en main, S/M et M/L, et le grand est nettement plus grand (22 l) que le petit (20 l). Pour info la version 2025 n'a qu'une seule taille. Sinon jamais vu un sac aussi confortable, je recommande.

A nicely sized backpack for day trips and commuting. However, the quality is disappointing. After two years of light use, the inner lining is peeling. This is not the level of quality I expected from an Osprey backpack.

Może nie jest to najlżejsza opcja plecaka o pojemności 22l (1kg) ale komfort, wykonanie, funkcjonalność są na najwyższym poziomie. Perfekt.
