We’ve found the Talon to be an ideal match for typical day hikes and bike commutes: throw in a puffy, rain shell, food, and some water, and it conforms nicely to your back. But its thin framesheet and minimalist cushioning on the shoulder straps and hipbelt prioritize weight and packability over all-out comfort. The pack is a big step up in terms of padding and support from an ultralight design like REI’s Flash series. What makes the Osprey Talon 22 a top seller year after year is its balance of weight, comfort, and features. We’ve noted these changes where applicable in the text below.

To see how it stacks up, see our article on the best daypacks.Įditor’s note: Osprey has updated their Talon series for 2021, and notable changes slight increases in weight and price, more available capacities, the use of PFC-free DWR and bluesign-approved fabrics, and a new AirScape backpanel design. Below we break down our experiences with the Talon 22. It’s not the most comfortable or feature-rich pack on the market, but the intelligent design satisfies the needs of most day hikers, bike commuters, and travelers. In testing the Talon 22, we’ve found it to be a useful multi-sport option.
And there’s good reason for its popularity: it’s light, has a nice fit, is made in a wide range of sizes and bright colorways, and hits a desirable price point. Osprey’s Talon is the daypack we see on the trails more than any other.
