Mountain bike the epic South Boundary Trail in New Mexico or hike slot canyons in Utah’s San Rafael Swell with the Osprey Talon 22 Backpack. This lightweight backpack holds everything you need for an ambitious day outside. Stuff extra clothes and a jacket in the top-accessed main compartment and your bike helmet in the stretchy front pocket. Your water bladder (not included) goes in the hydration compartment, and energy gel stashes nicely in your harness pockets. Osprey gave the Talon 22 Backpack a mesh harness and hip-belt as well as a padded back panel with air channels to keep air flowing underneath this pack so you stay cool.

Osprey Talon 22 review
This backpack packs more stuff than I had expected. I’ve used it once now, and I like it. The hipbelt pockets I love for easy access to treats. The hydration slot works well. Adjustable sternum strap is wonderful. It would be nice to have some more organization/slots within the mesh top pocket, but it is good to have a smaller pocket. Has a loop to hook in walking poles or whatever in the one side pocket. I’m 5′1 and the pack fits ok. It’s not noticably too big. Having everything adjustable helps.

They made the perfect day pack
so I just got the new Talon 22 pack and I’m blown away on how perfect this pack is. I have been looking for a good day pack for some time now and I found it! Every time I go somewhere I always seem to over pack, but this bag gives me enough room to get everything I need into it no matter what season, My 2 1/2 L Hydration pack with insulation on it fits perfect, and the pack even has a strap to hold it in place preventing the bottle from slipping down as you drink. First looking at this pack it doesn’t seem to have many pockets, but after you pack it for the first time you realize there are over 11 pockets to stash your gear. The pack fits very close to the hips. The pack also fits narrow on your back keeping the center of gravity closer to you and preventing the pack from shifting and throwing of your balance. A narrow pack also allows you better flexibility while walking or climbing tough terrain. I would highly recommend this pack to a friend for a day out on the trail. It will also make a good overnight bag fitting maybe 3 pairs of jeans 3 shirts and a extra pair of shoes with no problem. I have been looking for the perfect day pack for sometime now and I finaly found it in the Osprey Talon 22 5 stars from me

Works like it should.
I bought this pack for adventure racing. The weekend after I bought it I did a single day medical adventure race where you had to carry a lot of extra gear. The pack accommodated my stuff as far as space is concerned, and the design of the pack allows for easy carrying. The compression and load adjustment straps keep the load secure and close to your body eliminating bounce. The hydration bladder actually hangs from a hanger in the hydration sleeve, which prevents the bladder from bunching up at the bottom of the pack when it starts to empty. The back ventilation is comfortable, as are the waist belt and adjustable sternum strap. I have also started using this pack for mountain biking just because it’s more comfortable than my smaller hydration pack I’ve been using for biking. I’ve also been wearing this pack and flipped a canoe, and my gear inside the main area stayed largely dry. All-in-all, thoughtfully designed bag that is perfect for day hikes (maybe even an overnighter, although I haven’t tried that), long trail runs, mountain biking, and adventure racing.
