Osprey Talon 44 Rucksack Review

• The Talon 44 is a long distance, lightweight endurance tour de force. The Airscape back panel is built with foam panels, allowing maximum ventilation to reach every area of your back, keeping you cool and comfortable with it sitting on your back. Supported with a lumbar-to-hipbelt, the weight is spread equally around the hips when carrying which is a huge advantage when utilising the 44 litres volume of storage available. Osprey have maximised this support by including an adjustable back length on the Talon 44 which ensures the pack fits perfectly to the length of your body enabling optimum comfort. Other features of the Talon 44 include Osprey’s unique Stow on the Go system, providing innovative hands free support to trekking poles by attaching them to small loops. Twin ice-axe attachments and InsideOut compression straps. Osprey have built the Talon 44 with easy access in mind, providing zipped pockets on the hipbelt for items such as phone, snacks and a GPS. On the top of a lid, another conveniently placed pocket provides easy access for Gloves and a hat when the temperatures drop and a large mesh pocket on the front is ideal for an extra layer of clothing on really chilly days in the mountains. Packing the Talon 44 has never been easier as a horizontal base zip allows you to access the bottom of the main compartment easily, meaning you don’t have to unload every item to reach what you need. Keeping hydrated has also been simplified with a quick access hydration sleeve with a loop for easy attachment. The reflective Talons will also keep you visible to head torch or vehicles if moving in low light conditions and an LED attachment point is included for extra visibility. The Talon 44 is built to be lightweight, comfortable, durable and exceptionally versatile. No matter the adventure, Talon has your back. Weight 1.1kg (M/L) Maximum Dimensions (cm): 67 (l) x 30 (w) x 33(d)
