OspreyMen's Talon 11 Hiking Pack

As a mountain bike guide and coach, I need to carry kit to get riders through a session, sometimes far away from roads and transport links. I had been using Deuter EXP and wanted a change. The Osprey fits much closer to the body and is longer / flatter. With its suspension format it really feels comfortable and part of you. Ver light with plenty of storage space and pockets. Lid lock is useful as are the side easy access pockets. Great pack!

Great for everyday use and for running

Top quality bag. My partner and I love them. We have red, orange, black , limon and emerald, . Thats 22, 20, 11 and 9. (all small ) But the 11 is the most useful size for day trips. Be aware the small version is a little smaller . We are 4foot 11 and 5foot 4 , the small length fits best if you are 5'6" or under..I tried the long one and had to exchange for short. They are classed as male and female but we cant see any difference.

Almost forgot it was there on a days bike ride with a 2 litre water bladder, very impressed. Plenty of pockets too. Really does prevent sweating where it contacts your back.

Osprey quality at a reasonable price

Adequate small rucksack for a summer day hike. Plenty of optional storage options. Only downside is the bungee system at the back. I’d prefer the elastic mesh that I have on my larger Talon’s. More secure and neater for gaiters etc.

I was very surprised at the low quality of this bag, being OspreyI just wanted a nice bag to go on Holiday with, something nice looking and practical.As for nice looking, the logo came off almost immediately (which I think someone else also has reviewed here)And as for practical, the straps are constantly loose, while on holiday I completely lost 1 of them as I wasn't using it, and it just feel off due to the design - any strap on this bag for adjustment is not right, all slides off and extremely poorly designed and poorly made,The bag is also super super small but that is my fault for picking this sizeGo buy a north face or something

One use and the osprey emblem came off. I know this doesn’t affect the use of the bag but you pay a lot of money for the brand so I’m very disappointed that the Osprey emblem came off that quickly.

This is the best bag I have had in a long time the back sits so nice against your body, fully packed it feels like you are wearing nothing,

Absolutely fantastic small backpack for day hikes. I bought the Osprey Talon 11 and 22 backpacks for a hiking and mountain biking trip in southern Utah. The packs are amazingly comfortable for all day hikes. We hiked multiple days hiking 10 to 15 miles per day. We also biked Slickrock and other area trails wearing the backpacks with Full to nearly water bladders.I found the packs to be exceptionally comfortable, even when they were fully loaded. I typically earn a pretty good neck-ache and headache after wearing a backpack. With these, I was not bothered at all. They were also very comfortable to hike and bike in as they did not shift around with the chest and waist straps.The helmet attachment points are nice touch. Water bottle holders are nice as well. The waist strap pockets are very functional and I could fit my iPhone ProMax into the waist strap pocket for easy access.I know these bags cost a lot however, I found the comfort and usability to provide excellent value. I did not find a large difference in the usable sizes between 11 and the 22L. They are different sized but not double. I highly recommend these bags.Note, the water bladders are an extra purchase. I would say they were also worth it with the easy open full width top, and the waterlines being made with a detachment point in the middle of the line, which does not allow any water to escape. Very well designed. The water bladder slides into slot between the back pad and the pack itself.

Also das ist mit abstand der Beste Rucksack zum Wandern den ich mir vorstellen kann.Bequem, kann man alles super einstellen und ausreichend Stauraum. Vom Eigengewicht mit ca 900 Gramm ganz zu schweigen. Top Produkt und auf jeden fall weiter zu empfehlen. Preis ist für die Qualität total Legitim. TOP.

Sehr gut durchdacht, gute Seitentaschen am Gürtel, einfach hochnehmen und loslegen

Der Rucksack ist leicht, stabil, praktisch mit einem großen Hauptfach und zwei kleinen Fächern, wo man die Geldbörse oder das Handy gut verstauen kann.
