Comfortable back pack for day trips, keenly priced with this seller. Couldn’t be bette
There are no aspects of fault with this bag, JUST ensure you select the right size ie S,M,L etc
Great rucksack, lots of useful features like the two side pockets and the centre pocket,
Would buy again but expect this product to last a long time
Just did a 2 day, very steep, hike in Greece with this carrying everything I needed for the trip. I did use compression packing cubes to save space but everything fit and the pack was very comfortable throughout.
It’s not cheap in the slightest. But to be honest it’s worth the money for comfort and design. You do get what you pay for.
One warning – there is no raincover – it’s sold seperately and have to pack it in the bag. Other, cheaper, bags include one tucked away in a base pocket. I’d drop a half a star for that but it’s all or nothing with Amazon.
Overall it’s an excellent backpack and I’m going to get the 22L one for shorter hikes too. The raincover I bought separately will be used for both.
Took it to Everest Base Camp and was quite good.
Easily holds what’s required, warmkit, waterproofs, food, water and first aid etc
It has a specific place for a water bladder, I use 1.5 litre but it could fit a 2 litre bladder.
Comfort and weight of the pack is second to none. The materials are strong and even though the dainty appearance of the strap and buckles may look like they could break easily this is not the case, even the mesh pockets are of good quality and strength.
The price tag may seem steep to some but this is well worth the price and is my go to rucksack for hiking now!
Bought my first Osprey rucksack for Search and Rescue duties and am very pleased with it. 35litre is good size for all the kit without being too big.
Everything is a great design.
Space, access, great comfort, pole storage, all brilliant. Spend a bit more you won’t regret it.
I’ve done 15 and 20 mile walks and it fit perfectly, never moving not course any rubbing
Good size , plenty pockets , easily adjusted to suit , very comfortable pack, do not understand why it’s not waterproof, I bought the lightweight 33l rollsack , for inside the pack to keep my kit dry , I feel this should come as standard, as I don’t like the waterproof cover.
Will be brilliant for my wife when she treks the Inca Trail next year.
This new version of the Talon 33 is simply superb. It fits so well and is so well balanced that it really is possible to forget that you are wearing it. This strikes a perfect balance between capacity and weight. You can carry a fantastic amount of stuff or not very much depending on the type of hike you are undertaking.
The new straps are more comfortable, I am yet to find any backpack, other than a trampoline style back, where my back doesn’t sweat, al I can say is this one if comfortable, for me comfort is more important.
I think I will avoid using a bladder, reasons, it impedes space in the main compartment, where as the side pouches less so, plus on a hot day a cold bladder is nice until you warm up the contents with your hot back.
I’m yet to use the in earnest, ie fully ladened but so far I’m very impressed, really nice quality built, love the fact this is a larger fit than the old versions, about time!
Best bits are the large hip pockets and the comfortable straps.
And yes the lifetime guarantee is invaluable and I used it no issue on the last pack for a emplacement buckle.
May be back for an updated review but so far give it 5 stars.
Really impressed after a couple of uses in hot weather, very useful features like the stretch pockets for drinks on the side and the stretch pocket on the back. Very comfortable to wear although it does help to keep your back from sweating it’s not as good as the ones that sit off your back completely.
Very light rucksack. I bought for my wife, she’s tall and it’s light and comfortable. Lighter than my Alpine Lowe bag of same size. Osprey make good quality products but could have included a rain cover given price. Product arrived quickly as expected.
This is a replacement. Perfect size for overhead plane locker for adventure trips abroad. Great fastening for winter Express. The bladder doesn’t take up any room inside when fitted. Good wieght distribution and can take a fair bit of punishment. I only changed mine because it looked like it had been to war and back.
One disadvantage no rain cover
Overall great back well worth the money
Pros
There is much to like about this pack, it is lightweight, slim, and very comfortable. As it is adjustable, it is worth taking the time to measure your back and get it set correctly.
Con(ish)
The pack is not waterproof and there is no rain cover. This is easily solved by buying a separate rain cover and stashing it in the top pocket.
As expected from Osprey a Great Rucksack for day hikes, loads of room for a pack of this size and really light wight. Like the well though out design of pockets for phone etc on waistband.
It appears to have sufficient pockets and attachment points to allow you to carry a variety of things including your trekking poles, camelbak, mobile phone, maps… – the list goes on.
It looks perfect of going on long walks and far better than using my current laptop type backpack which hurts the shoulders after a few miles.
So decided to buy a quality one and so glad I did, as the quality is superb
