Great for day hikes, very light weight and fits everything you need! Front pocket stretches a bit so it allows for clothes to sit comfortably and be easily accessed. Deep pockets, hip belt works well for light loads. Great for minimalists.

This Osprey bag is the perfect day pack for short or long hikes! It is my new go to pack, having switched from a Gregory pack a couple of weeks ago. I have gone on several long day hikes with this pack and it carries my water, extra layers, food, camera, and much more with plenty of room to spare. The pockets on the side are great for water bottles as well, and the small pocket at the top is perfect for your phone or any smaller items. It is also great when traveling as a carry on and I highly recommend.

i have always been pleased with Osprey throughout the years. sadly my window was smashed in California and the thief only took my 10 year old day pack. when it was time to replace i knew exactly what i wanted. rarely do i bike with a pack on but having a pack that rides well and hikes well is a huge plus in simplifying my gear closet.

I am not easy on gear, especially bags. This pack has gone from an day pack to a school bag to my daypack in Australia. I've carried more weight in it than I should have and its stood up to the test of time. It holds more than you think it will and is much like a secret ninja in that way.

So if you are looking for that perfect day or travel pack, look no further. The lightweight suspension is breathable and comfortable. I've carried everything imaginable in this pack from water bladders to laptops and cameras.

I have been waiting on the upgraded version of the Talon. This pack is absolutely comfortable. I kinda wish they would have made the Talon 18 in the upgraded version, but this pack is wonderful. It will be great for traveling out of country and I feel this could also be a good pack for ultralight backpacking. Overall I am very satisfied with this pack

I've been using a Talon 22 for years, and the newest version is improved. I appreciate that not much changed about my favorite pack, and what did change made for a more comfortable carry.

I don't take much on day hikes, so the 22 is even a little big, but provides enough extra room for stuff for my dog. I'm not usually carrying more than 10-15 lbs, but even there the older Talon felt close to it's max. The improved foam back panel has a continuous top to bottom stiffness that doesn't flop like the old version, but is still flexible, light and airy. There's also an improved seamless hip belt that pulls the pack into my lower back more effectively, making the load feel more secure.

Otherwise, it's still my familiar old friend: external access to hydration reservoir, non-scratch sunglasses pocket, stretch mesh kangaroo pocket and water bottle pockets, good compression and big, easy-access pocket for everything else, with just a little mesh organizer inside to hold my keys and wallet.

For years, even before the women's version, the Osprey Talon 22 has been my go to. So comfortable, I forget I am wearing it! This update makes it even better - more comfortable backpanel and harness. Don't wait!
