Osprey Talon 33L Men's Hiking Backpack with Hipbelt, Stealth Black, S/M

Love osprey bags. They are rock solid and very well made. I use these bags in very harsh conditions and they handle it without problems. Osprey even replaced my last bag free after it was deemed unrepairable. I ordered another one anyways because I wanted to support them and their great customer service. Good fit. Good padding. Great bag all around.

I took this bag hiking in Utah for about a week. The bag holds up and the waist straps really keep the weight off your shoulders. This is a very comfortable bag.If you are worried about the size because you are in between the small/medium and large/X-Large don’t worry they adjust for the 19-21 inch size and both fit pretty well.

I took a chance on this one and love it. It is a niche backpack but great for me. Like my 22L Osprey, it has excellent shoulder straps and hip belt. The volume of the 22L is just a little low for me=y use half the time, but I still use it. This 33L allows me to pack more when I need it and it doesn't feel odd or look weird when two-thirds full. It allows me to top it off with a puffy, warm stuff, clothes, or extra food when needed but can carry less equally well.I don't like bags with "brains" like this but it is the only negative and I knew that going in. I can easily adapt to it and gain the advantages of the larger size.

Got this for a 9 day hike up Kilimanjaro. Backpack was the right size and fit well. The only issue was the flap closure top. I found it to be cumbersome with swapping out layers throughout the day. I bought a rain cover as well which negated the benefit of the top cover. Not a bad pack, just added a bit of fussing to manage and at 19000 feet small things matter. Some may find that feature useful, just not for me. Really liked the shoulder and waist straps and waist pockets were very useful for things like sunscreen and snacks.

I chose this because I wanted a larger daypack that also had more rigid hip support. I usually hike with family and help carry extra gear on shorter day hikes so this is the perfect size and support for this. Excellent construction, fit and features.

Just a great pack for my use. I do mostly day hiking. Some over nights. It sits high on the back .perfect for my build.can take all the essentials

The perfect size for what I'm looking to do, fits great love it! Been using a similar but smaller osprey product for the last 8 years.

there’s definitely some room for improvement for such a price.Pros:- comfortable, though it takes some adjusting and getting used to- the back frame is flexible but firm enough to carry the load for up to 10kg- fits plane carry on requirements if not overstuffed (small/medium size)- small when not loaded but can expand quite nicely- top lid for 30l and it’s is very roomy.- side mech pockets are very handy- side hip pockets are big enough to fit iPhone13 max- huge front mech pocket- lots of attachment options- very light- osprey.Cons:- top load only, without bottom access. You have to be aware of the order by which things are organized- no rain cover, no good place to put it either (I had one from an old 40l backpack and ended up stuffing it to the water system pocket)- hip stripes are too narrow in the front and end up rubbing the skinUPD: the pack is not that comfortable after all, I guess it’s the s/m sizing that doesn’t fit me.
