Description

Large packs can be a drag.

Whether you’re into hiking, biking, running, or Nordic skiing, The Osprey Talon 4 Lumbar Pack allows you to carry your basic provisions without weighing down your shoulders. The Talon 4 comes with four liters of internal space to carry your snacks, a camera, and perhaps a thin base layer. The hip belt pockets are the perfect size for carrying energy gels or a cell phone, and the bungee compression system lets you reduce the pack volume after you’ve gone through all of your consumables. And since you’re bound to work up a big thirst as you log all those miles, the Talon 4 also comes with two water bottles and pockets to house them so you stay hydrated as you go.

Here's what others have to say...

I'm going for a 4 week hike (Camino, Spain)...

I'm going for a 4 week hike (Camino, Spain) and am unsure what to take with me to a) have my valuables safe, b) to have money handy. I never mind too much where I put my 50 l pack, but I want something to be able to wear it with the pack, yet have it on me when I don't have the pack (toilet, cafe, shop). I've been thinking to get what used to be called "bum bag" worn at the front but it needs to be comfy and not interfere with the pack. I don't want to continually pack/unpack wallet and I don't want those worn underneath clothes, as I want to use it openly... Anyone any ideas? Thank you!

Hi, your question is hard to answer because you don't define what "valuables" you want to carry, but I'll take it from the standpoint of the basics like money, passport, etc. I can also tell you with certainty that this (or any) lumbar pack will interfere with your main pack. As far as valuables go, there are really only a few ways to deal with them: keep them close to you, guard your pack well, or don't carry them at all. Choosing clothing with more pockets like a jacket, shirt, pants is always what I prefer- cleaner, more discreet, easier to access...If a camera is part of what you want to carry outside your pack, smaller is better, and there are plenty of smaller, zippered, clip-on/lanyard cases to choose from that can go from pack-person in a flash. Mountainsmith is a good source for lots of these types of things. Also, if they're not too bulky and clunky, there are quite a few pouches/bags that can be worn around your neck that hold quite a bit of stuff. Anyway, have fun, good luck, and I hope this helped you out a bit.

I have own this for about three summers now and have used it extensively. No wear is present.

Two pockets. One can hold a small medical kit while the larger can hold a variety of things.

Two zippered lumber straps pockets hold small item such as a compass, phone, keys, etc....

The hang is good and can be adjusted for very snug. As a word of caution. Lumbar packs such as these are not very small packs like in the past as they can hold a lot due to the inventiveness of Osprey, so be prepared to hold all of your kids (and wife's) stuff

Love the fit of this pack. Movement is minimal, love the ability to take water and a small coat with me.

I really love this thing!

Out of my collection of lumbar packs, this is the one that I instinctively reach for, whether heading out for a quick jaunt in the canyons near my house with my pup, or longer day treks that don't require much space for clothing or gear. I've been using this thing at least four times a week for almost 2 years and still looks & works like new!

The fit is great, and it can be locked down snugly so nothing flops around when the going gets jiggly.

There is an amazing amount of smart engineering put into this seemingly simple device.

Thanks to the Airscape back and side panels (which hold the pack off your body with a combination of curved semi-rigid frame sheet, highly dimensional, perforated foam pads and soft netting)it stays cool on my lower back and rides like there's nothing there.

In addition to the sophisticated suspension, nice touches abound, like the substantial, reflective talon graphics;
waist strap adjuster keepers (keeping the straps readily at hand and preventing them from whipping around);
foam reinforced bottle pockets (never collapse, so it's easy to re-holster the H2O while on the move);
Osprey's excellent, easy grab zipper pulls.
