Osprey Packs Talon 33 Backpack - 1892-2014cu in
Best pack I've used

I picked up this pack on a whim before going to NY without trying it on first. From the moment I received it I have been amazed. While it may not look like there is much cushioning in the shoulder straps and hip belt it is leaps and bounds more comfortable than my TNF Terra 60. The hip belt pockets are a little small, and I'd prefer if they extended deeper towards the pack. I was a little confused about the hydration sleeve before ordering, but let me help clear that up. There is a sleeve INSIDE the pack but outside the main compartment. Your bladder does not hang outside the pack between the back panel. Mine currently holds my Camelback Unbottle 100 oz without any troubles. Quality is top notch and after about 2 dozen uses it doesn't show any signs of wear. If you are using the side compression straps the bottle holders on the sides are difficult to use without strap adjustment.
