What is a better multi-day pack? The Osprey Talon 44, or the Osprey Kestrel 38? I'm planning on backpacking through Europe and Asia next year, and I was looking for a pack to do the job. Since I'm planning on packing the bare-necessities, I simply need a great, light-weight backpack to last me for the year. Do you think one would be better than the other? (or other packs besides these two that may better suit my needs)

Either pack is going to work just fine! I would probably lean toward the Kestrel series as I think it's a bit more comfortable than the Talon. Osprey is definitely the way to go, especially if weight, ease of use and comfort are essentials.Hope that helps.
