Osprey Talon Review

Osprey Talon Backpack

Osprey Talon 44

How light is Osprey’s new Talon backpack? I keep typing the wrong weight because my brain can’t seem to believe a 44 liter pack can actually weigh only three two and half pounds.

In addition to its unbelievably low weight, the Talon brings two major strengths to the table.

First, the innovative frame handles heavy loads without a framesheet. Second, the pack’s ‘Airspace’ system does a marvelous job circulating air around your back to prevent sweating/overheating. I’m going to try to push this pack into winter duty and see how it holds up. If I can carry overnight winter loads plus skis with the Talon, I’ll be saving more than two pounds in pack weight! Here’s the scoop: Osprey Talon Review.
