Lightweight, Excellence

I use this pack to bring my rope and the rest of my climbing gear to the local crag and it can handle it all!!! Only thing I don't like about the sizing is I'm right between the small and the medium. Ended up going with the small. Don't get me wrong, I love this pack's lightweight and all of it's features. But I think osprey needs to tune their sizing a bit more. It holds all the gear I need for a long day hike through the adirondack mountains. Unlike most other backpacks I've used, the Talon series provides me the best ventilation for my back. A huge plus in my book. I've put comfortably carried around 40 pounds on a multi day trip and was completely comfortable!
