Osprey talon 44
By gep
Ranked #657 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)
November 20, 2007
I recently completed two tramps in New Zealand. The Milford Track and Routeburn Track .The Tramps were 5 days and 3 days respectively.
The pack was laden with 12kg and was a breeze to carry.Being 5' 6" tall I chose the small size which proved so comfortable on my back, hips and shoulders.The pack design fits comfortably to the contours of your upper body.I like to "jog test" a pack and there was no appreciable movement against my body momentum. The pack is light weight and easily coped with the 12kg.
Awesome pack highly recommended
