Osprey Packs Talon 33 Backpack - 1892-2014cu in
Awesome Pack - but not for me
By ridgewalker
Ranked #970 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)
July 23, 2007
I researched a lot of packs and finally decided on this one. It's chock full of features and beautifully and intelligently crafted/designed. It's perfect for long day trips and maybe a very lite overnight. The main problem for me was the rigid plastic ridge on the upper back of the pack. I have very little body fat and the ridge rubbed to the point of causing a major sore spot by the end of a 9 hour hike.
