The Osprey Talon 22 is consistently one of our favorite daypacks and every year it gets better. This year, we honored it as our favorite lightweight daypack in our Best Daypacks review. This pack has a very versatile design that’s loaded with useful features. It has a dependable, lightweight design that carries weight better than most smaller packs. It has a suspension system akin to larger packs, which makes it very comfortable for many different activities. The flexible frame and padded hip belt keep this pack securely in place while you move down the trail. Osprey’s AirScape design on the back panel allows for plenty of airflow between your back and the pack, which keeps your back from getting too sweaty. It has a sleeve for a hydration bladder, an ice axe loop, trekking pole holders, a helmet carrying system, and even a place to attach a blinking light. 
As you might expect with a smaller volume pack, this isn’t the best for winter conditions when you have to carry a lot of layers. This pack is great for light and fast day trips and moves well with you as you move. For day hiking, mountain biking, and bike commuting, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option than the Talon 22.  

Switchback Travel

If you’re looking for one daypack that can do it all, Osprey’s Talon is your best bet. At 22 liters (and made in larger versions up to 44 liters for those who need more capacity), it hits an ideal balance of comfort and features. Notably, the Talon has a real hipbelt with light cushioning, which is more comfortable than the simple webbing you get with more streamlined packs, along with a thoughtfully designed mesh backpanel. The pack also has functional organization, a nice stretchiness to it, ample attachment points including for trekking poles, a helmet, and a bike light, and is made in two sizes to dial in fit. For day hikes, travel, and everyday use, the Talon 22 is an excellent choice.

While the Talon is Osprey’s best all-rounder, the more expensive Stratos collection below offers even more padding and carrying comfort. The latter has a more substantial hipbelt along with a suspended mesh backpanel for superior support and ventilation (it’s built more like a backpacking pack than a daypack). On the flip side, the Talon is lighter at under 2 pounds, but its thinner backpanel does mean that you can sometimes feel the contents of your bag on your back, and particularly if loaded down. In the end, the Stratos gets the edge for heavy loads and long days on the trail (the 36L we have listed is even serviceable for light overnights), but the Talon is lighter, cheaper, and more than enough daypack for most people and uses... Read in-depth reviewSee the Osprey Talon 22  See the Women's Osprey Tempest 20

 Pretty spacious. There's a zippered compartment up here, not sewn in. If you've watched any of my other Osprey bag reviews, it's one of my gripes that they don't sew the bottom of this in. However, I'm going to talk about the Hike Light real quickly

 at the tail, it's A. It's a 118. So I was sliding my skis down in here both of them at the same time and I was undoing this compression strap all the way and ratcheting it down. The skis weren't super stable, but it's a feature that I think they should talk about in this bag, and I think in future iterations of this bag they should consider putting a little bit more of a strap up here so you can actually carry your skis with it

 Never felt like I could get enough in the hike light. So this bag is permanently replacing my hike light. One of the gripes that I had about the hike light was the water bottle holders. These have the actual really good stretchy ones that kind of come back now

OSPREY TALON 22 THE PERFECT BACKPACK FOR WINTER ADVENTURE

I want to fit mirroless camera with kit lens and some clothes: maybe a couple of t-shirts, hoody and jeans for example. So about 20-30L size backpack, and that have some kind of protection, so I can protect that camera, and to be under $150-200. Do you have some recommendations?

I’m looking for good backpack that can fit small camera and some clothes

I am really thin and don't sweat much. So I prioritize comfort and padded and flexibility packs over ventilation (If I have to compromise on one). So everyone's preferences may be different.

Not as good as the Old version IMO

 There's a little pocket here and tucked away in there is the webbing loop for the head of the ice axe. So if you're not using an ice axe, you can tuck that away so it doesn't catch on things. When you're walking, pop it up inside that sleeve and if you're not a big fan of stone, Go! You don't want the poles down the side of your pack? You want them on the outside out of the way that you can also store your trekking poles on this system as well. On the left-hand shoulder strap, Osprey have now introduced a really nice little mesh stretch pocket

 It's not quite big enough for a big phone, but you could get a hydration flask in there or even a Mars bar. So how does the Talon 22 fit? Well, Like I said earlier, it's really, really important to get the fit of your pack absolutely right. That's why Osprey rather helpfully do it in two different sizes and each size is size adjustable, so the fit of the pack isn't determined by your height. I'm six foot three, for instance, but I would use the shorter back system on here because my height is all in my legs

I'm six foot three, for instance, but I would use the shorter back system on here because my height is all in my legs. I mean, my hips are up to here, for goodness sake, you know, got really stupidly long legs and a short torso. so I would use the smaller of the two sizes in here and maybe just adjust it up a little bit to give me that little get that fit

 But anyway, why we're here today? We're here today to talk to you about the iconic Osprey Talon 22. The Asp, The Talon 22 was the first of its kind, really in defining what is a truly versatile, all-mountain all activities pack. You can use this for trail running, mountain biking, gravel cycling, scrambling, climbing, hiking, hill walking, a bit of light mountaineering and scrambling. It really was the pack that defined that genre of multi-purpose multi-activity packs

Inside Look: Osprey Talon 22 (New & Recycled!)

Changes not for the best

, So you have got a really stretchy nice pocket there easy to throw lightweight layer in or some wet clothing to gloves or something along those lines.. We have got who stretchy mesh side pockets with inside out compression, and that just means you can route the compression strap under the pocket like I have here or over, like I have got on this side so that inside out compression is pretty nice.

 And you have got real-ly good size throughout the entire capacity of the bag.. So it is 22 liters, but you do get a lot of capacity with that. One expansive opening really nice there

. So I have got some items in here: just a down jacket on top. And you have got real-ly good size throughout the entire capacity of the bag.

Osprey Talon 22 Day Pack

I had the "M/L (48-58mm) older size and this one is listed as "M/L/XL (48-58mm)" on the tag on the back edge. The new bag is narrower (left to right) and maybe a touch longer (top to bottom). The top zip pocket (where you keep keys and small items) is way smaller in the newer model to my disappointment.  I when I slide in a standard 14" laptop, the new bag is just barely able to span for this while the old bag it few well

Not the same cut as my older Talon 22 pack

 and then I'll bring my kind of more bush bush crafty backpack for that perfect size for a day hike. I mean you could even say it's larger than needed for a day hike. but for me bringing the camera, bringing chair and food and stuff like that, it's It's perfect. So a little more backpack modeling

 large water bottle holders on each side this is a 1.5 liter and an algine um so perfect for the one levers. um one of those on each side, compression straps on those. if you need to pull in the weight a little bit, you've got this pocket on the is the front or the back

 You have, and there you go. They are out of the way while you're doing whatever else, and relatively easily accessible. You want them back for hiking. Ultimately, it's just a backpack

 So there's a sternum strap as I mentioned right there with the whistle there are. There's a hip belt, which like I said, I never use. The hip belt does tuck behind you nicely, which I appreciate. Um, if you're gonna put a hip belt on it, make it uh, feel okay when it's tucked behind you

Osprey Talon 22 - 3 year review

Another minor qualm: the pocket on the left chest strap is useless. It's secured by only a small, weak button, and it randomly opens while hiking. Beyond that, it's a weird trapezoidel shape that can't really fit anything useful (maybe a lighter, or chapstick, but then you're not using 50% of the awkward space). It would be better if it wasn't there at all

I really wanted to like this pack. But for my purposes (a mix of dayhiking and trailrunning), it was not functional. My main gripe is the lack of any upper compression straps. If you have the pack fully loaded, there's no issue

Needs Upper Compression Straps

 It's nice soft pocket. Now with this Osprey rucksack, it's just got one main pocket. Within the main pocket, it's got a little mesh pocket with a zip and just with a little key attachment here. So I know some rucksacks have sort of two main pockets, but this has just got just got one and then also one here

 I've got a two and a half liter reservoir to go in here, and I should note that it doesn't come with a reservoir. Um, it's just got a little loop at the top so you can hang it up. Um, the straps. It's got some adjustments here

 Um, it's also super comfy. So comfortable. This rucksack. Um, I really, really like, uh, the side pockets on this rucksack
