Osprey Packs Talon 44 Backpack - 2563-2685cu in
Light, Comfertable, but Durable?

Let make this short and to the point. I thought this pack was light, comfertable, and had a useful design. The only complaint is in its materials. Everything seemed fragile, and after only two trips one of the buckles broke. It may have been a fluke, but that isn't a good sign. I have owned several Osprey Packs and all the others were well built, and help up well.
