Osprey Packs Talon 33 Backpack - 1892-2014cu in
Killer daypack

Ranked #586 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)
December 7, 2009
My wife got me this pack to replace a Mountainsmith daypack I gave to our son. I used to be a big fan of Lowe Alpine packs but this pack has made me an even bigger fan of Osprey Packs. I was on crutches for several weeks and this pack went everywhere with me. The people at the grocery stores even learned how to load it up with whatever I bought. The suspension is comfortable and minimalist, in fact everything about the pack is designed to save weight. It carries well, even when badly packed at the grocery store. I've used it nearly every day since the end of August 2009 and it still looks like new. My next full blown backpack which I intend to get next year will also be an Osprey, the Exos 58.
