Why We Like The Talon 26L Backpack

When we head to the trail we never know what may be in store, so we bring the Osprey Talon 26 Backpack. This pack keeps a load centered on our back without restricting our movement so that we can hike or bikepack rocky trails from Maine to New Mexico. Biostretch shoulder straps secure a comfortable, unwavering carry system as we navigate undulating terrain, while the DWR treatment gives us a little peace of mind to know the contents of the pack are safely protected in the event of a passing rain storm.

Took my first hike with

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took my first hike with the Talon last week. Comfortable and secure, and the integrated back panel and waist belt really helped keep the weight off my shoulders and spine. I thought I would not like having my trekking pole routed underneath my left arm when not in use, but it turns out that the location was handy and I didn’t need to stop hiking when deploying or securing my trekking pole. Looking forward to many more adventures with this pack.

Love my talon. Just the right size, lightweight and comfortable to wear. It seems durable and capable of withstanding an outdoor environment

A good pack that has

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A good pack that has the potential to be great with a few minor changes. 1. Put the water bladder in the inside similar to packs such as the Stratos line. The external bladder sleeve is such an asspain to get a bladder into and the minimal benefit isn’t worth the annoyance of putting in and taking out the bladder. I almost didn’t buy the pack solely based on this limfac. 2. Remove the pocket on the left shoulder. It’s oddly shaped, of minimal use, and the snap kept popping open with any tension on the shoulder strap. 3. Recommend having a built in duck’s back cover pocket on the bottom of the pack. I used the outside zipper pocket to store a (not included) duck’s back, but would like an included one to live on the bottom of the bag. 4. Add a magnetic attachement on the chest strap. Using an Osprey 2.5L bladder with magnetic hose retainer had minimal value as there was no mate on the backpack itself.

Heading out next week with

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heading out next week with the pack. First observation is that the pack bridges the gap between a normal ‘backpack’ and a larger multi day pack. The size is great and the pockets are well thought out. Should be perfect for longer day hikes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great for a smaller pack when you don't need the volume. It is very comfortable and allows freedom of movement with your arms.

Great build quality, comfortable, and

Great build quality, comfortable, and the perfect size for what I need. I was able to fit a trail chair, rain jacket, first aid kit, nalgene, binoculars, and personal items, all with room to spare. Only warning for anyone looking at this bag is that I have a Galaxy S23 with a pretty substantial case and it only just barely fit in the hipbelt pocket, so if your phone is any bigger than you'll need to store it in a less convenient pocket. Still, small price to pay for the comfort, capacity, and overall build quality.

Super comfortable pack! Very well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable pack! Very well designed and built. I look forward to using it for years! The only issue is there could be more small storage compartments/pockets.

Hiked through 4 countries in

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hiked through 4 countries in Europe last couple of weeks. Comfortable across shoulders and waist. The strap across the breast was thinner and shorter than I would have liked and bit. Button on small mesh pocket on shoulder strap kept popping off. Since I used it to hold a small flashlight which had a clip it wasn’t a big deal. Pack holds hiking poles and water bottles well (I did not use a hydration bladder). Outer pocket on the back can hold ponchos and additional layers. Overall quite satisfied with my purchase!
