Hike, go canyoneering, or take a quick overnight trip with your Osprey Talon 33 Backpack. This lightweight backpack holds loads up to 25 pounds and is all you need for a day or two in the backcountry. Access the main compartment from the top and stash your helmet or trekking poles in the front or side stretch pockets. An external hydration compartment holds your water bladder (not included). A loop on the bottom of the Talon 33 lets you tow your teammate during an adventure race. Ice axe loops make this pack a good option for climbing frozen waterfalls, too. Osprey gave this backpack a padded back panel with air channels and a mesh harness and hip-belt, so plenty of air circulates underneath this pack to keep you cool. Pockets on the harness and hip-belt are ideal for your energy bars and gel.

Product Reviews

Osprey Talon 33
Bought this pack for long day hikes and lightweight overnight trips. Used primarily in the desert the suspension system is well ventilated. The pockets are easily accessed and the buckles and strap systems are intuitive and easy to use. I have a long torso, the pack is fully adjusted beyond the third marker but it is comfortable. The top pocket is easy to open, even with gloves on. The energy gel pockets on the shoulder straps are mounted a little high but they’re still usable. I tried this pack and the Ultimate Direction Speedemon and chose to keep the Osprey.

Decent pack
A nice light pack with plenty of "at hand" storage. The hard contoured back panel makes it comfortable and ventilates well but makes it difficult to pack large or hard items. Straps and buckles seem wimpy.

Great day/overnight pack. Very light and very comfortable. buckles don’t look durable but they work well. Water reservoir takes up quite a bit of room making the main compartment a bit narrow. Pack fits securely making it great for scrambling or climbing. All in all very happy with my purchase.

Very Light! Good product, not great.
After reading many good reviews on this product (mostly from people who didn’t pay for it) I was excited and went out and bought one. I had very high expectations. I bought this product for fast packing, basically short overnight trips. The backpack is very light. It fit all I needed for my overnighter in Kentucky, but I have two complaints. The adjustment to get it to fit well and feel good took me a long time. I was playing with the straps most of my trip. Secondly when I used the hydration pocket and my Camelbak bladder was full it pushed on my back and made a good fit impossible. So overall this is a good light backpack. Doesn’t hold much, but overall I am happy with it.

Awesome Pack - but not for me
I researched a lot of packs and finally decided on this one. It’s chock full of features and beautifully and intelligently crafted/designed. It’s perfect for long day trips and maybe a very lite overnight. The main problem for me was the rigid plastic ridge on the upper back of the pack. I have very little body fat and the ridge rubbed to the point of causing a major sore spot by the end of a 9 hour hike.
