Osprey Talon 22-Litre Backpack
The spacious Talon 22 panel-loading backpack will carry everything you need for a day of fast-paced activity, from hiking to mountain biking to adventure racing.The Talon 22 includes stretch mesh harness pockets for snacks and a comfortable BioStretch foam harness.The Talon 22 relies on Osprey's AirScape suspension system to provide comfort to hikers, mountain bikers, and serious runners. Built around a ridge-molded foam back panel with grip mesh covering, the system offers ample ventilation to keep you comfortable throughout the day. The pack's BioStretch adjustable harness and mesh-covered, slotted foam hipbelt, meanwhile, help distribute weight evenly across the body. As a result, the bag won't weigh you down even as the miles stretch into the dozens. The harness includes an adjustable sternum strap with a rescue whistle buckle, while the hipbelt offers a modified ErgoPull closure to ensure a secure fit.Despite the relatively lightweight, easy-to-maneuver design, the Talon 22 is capable of holding quite a bit of gear. The pack offers dual zippered panel access to the main compartment, along with a top zippered mesh slash pocket for smaller items. You can also store gear in the spacious stretch-woven front pocket, the dual stretch-woven side pockets (with InsideOut compression), the dual stretch mesh hipbelt pockets, and the sewn-in stretch mesh harness pockets. And hydration is key for any outdoor activity, which is why the Talon 22 offers an easy-access external hydration compartment with a sewn-in retention clip (reservoir sold separately).Other features include a laced bungee cord with fabric wings to keep your extras secure, a LidLock attachment clip for a bike helmet, an integrated blinker light attachment, and a sewn-in tow loop attachment point.Specifications:Dimensions: 10 by 21 by 6 inches (W x H x D)Small/medium: 1,220 cubic inches/20 liters; weighs 1 pound 12 ouncesMedium/large: 1,343 cubic inches/22 liters; weighs 1 pound 13 ouncesAbout OspreyThings at Osprey move full circle, starting with the people, then the product, and then back to the people for the full lifetime of the product.
