Talon 44

Ranked #574 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)

This pack is great. I just finished a mission trip in the Baja Peninsula. The trip was finished out with a 10.5 hr. hike in the Sierra Mountains. I carried 20-25 lbs. mostly water, cliff bars, filter, and sleeping pad. The temp. was 100-104. I hiked 45 km. The pack worked great, awesome fit, and the airspeed design worked great. I highly recommend this pack. I didn't get any rub marks or chaffing from the straps. Due to the pack design there was plenty of air between my pack and my back.
