For fleet footed outdoors and biz travel | |
| Rating: |  |
| I am a minimalist tramper and traveler and found that the Talon 33 is a perfect fit for an Advanced Bivy, Apache bag, outside-strapped 3/4 Z-rest, some clothes, and a food bag for 4-8 days in temperate to tropical conditions. I've had mine about 15 months and use it for weekend trips along the Wasatch, to Moab, for a month in the Black Hills of SD, and a month in Hawaii (with 4 nts on the Kalalau trail), and (most often lately) as a my only luggage (carry-on) for week-long professional trips. The Eagle Creek Pack-It folder fits nicely inside for my suits. For more room (like on my Kalalau tramp) I connect my older Osprey fanny pack as a chest bag to the Talon strap holes on the front and use it for a 1L bladder, camera, and lunch bag. I agree with other's comments: The stretchy back pouch is great for stashing a handy fleece or parka. The side pockets are nice too, but the compression stapes deminish their utility. Put only 2 liters in a 3 liter bladder in the Talon bladder back pocket. The belt pockets are great and I've make them an essential feature for my future packs. The seams are finally starting to pull apart, so I'll need to stitch them soon with dental floss, but the fabric itself is still solid. I see a few punctures but no tears. It is much more durable than the GoLite pack I used previously to this Talon. But the Talon isn't a super-bomber, heavy cordura pack for use as airline luggage either. Like many of the Osprey packs, it uses an airy mesh covering over the straps and backpanel cushion. That mesh has torn in a few spots, but hasn't yet compromised its purpose of holding the thing together. I'm considering my next pack purchase and find the Osprey Exos line appealing, but am wary of it's tensioned mesh back panel. While the Talon series keeps the mesh close over a simple ribbed foam panel, the Exos stretches it over an air cavity created by its frame. I suppose the Exos is more comfortable, but am concerned that the thing would become unwearable if the mesh is damaged or inadvertantly slashed with a knife or something. The Talon is a great compromise of durability and lightness the the fleet-footed traveller. Like a foam sleeping pad won't suffer from punctures, the Talon mesh/back-cushion won't loose functionality when it's damaged. Ventilation is still quite good - even in the tropics. So far, the Talon 33 has been my favorite pack. | |

pretty darn good for solo fastpacking | |
| Rating: | |
i decided this past summer to couple two of my favorite activities: trail running and backpacking. fastpacking, as it is often called, required the purchase of some new equipment including a pack small enough to run with, but large enough to fit a bivy, stove, water, food, and some extra clothing. the osprey talon met my criteria and felt good in the store, so i bought one and tested it in the san juan mountains. | |

| I'm in l.o.v.e. When looking for a new backpack, I was looking for a good pack that could take me for 2-4 days on the trail, traveling, and be appropriate for weekend trips. I went back and forth between the 33 and 44 but ultimately decided on the 33. I have been able to carry everything I need for short backpacking trips, with only my sleeping bag strapped to the outside (tent, pad, layers of warm clothing, full rain gear etc etc on the inside). One sacrifice I do make is between my water filter and cooking gear (I can only fit one or the other) but on short hikes I think it is a fair trade off to leave cooking gear behind. Minor detail, but an amazing extra is the whistle built into the chest strap. I love knowing that I have that layer of security built in. I wish I had constructive criticism to offer about this bag, but I haven't found anything to dislike about it yet. When I hike the AT I will most likely buy the Talon 44. | |

Ultralight meets High Performance | |
| Rating: | |
| My first pack, which I absolutely love, is an Aether 70. So naturally, I was excited with the release of the ultralight Talon series. The Talon is a great pack that has all of the same featurs that I find unique about the Aether 70. It has side and rear mesh pockets. There's a seperate compartment for using a bladder, which provides more compacity for gear. The downsides to this pack are the slightly angled water bottle pockets on each side. On my first climb with my new (Talon 33) I set the pack down for a quick rest break, and then looked down to see my Nalgene bottle tumbling down the glacier and into complete darkness, not cool. Also, The talon 33 frame seems to be a bit flimsier then the 44. It's considered a pack for fast day packing, and not recommended for heavier loads. I've used this back on long day trips, and have even carried trad gear, ropes, and pickets, so don't let the lightweight fool you, this pack can deliver. | |

The best example of comfort-to-weight | |
| Rating: | |
| With more than 30 years of backpacking experience the Talon 33 caught me by surprise. I bought it based on the weight, to replace my current daypack. After a few hikes with it I realized it had TOO much room for dayhiking and bought the Talon 22 (see review). But the Talon 33 quickly became my favorite overnighter pack. It is very comfortable. The hip belt and shoulder straps are the best I have ever used in a pack of this weight, and better than many at twice the weight. The air-channel backpanel works very well to keep me somewhat cool (I am a hot hiker). I really like the between-the-backpanel hydration pocket for easy access to my bladder. The pockets are actually useable while I am wearing it, without dislocating my arms. The hip belt pockets are nice for things I want close at hand. The only thing I do not like is the way that the side compression straps interfere with the side pockets when pulled tight. | |

Fit my unique need perfectly | |
| Rating: | |
| Before I headed to RMNP for a fishing trip, I realized I needed something to get my fly rod and tackle up to the mountain streams that we'd be fishing. The Talon 33 perfectly suited my needs, carrying a pair of wading boots, waders, chest pack (for tackle), reel and plenty of extra stuff for the day, along with toggles on the back to lash down my rod tube and net. There are also plenty of straps that, with the addition of a few small carabiners, I could wear my chest pack and the backpack at the same time and not have to worry about stashing my pack once we were on the water. The adjustable torso length system helped fit this to my size (tall and skinny), and despite being low frills, the pack is very comfortable. I haven't overnighted with it yet, but I don't have any doubts it will suit that need just as well. | |

"Even if you can't pack light, atleast your pack can be." | |
| Rating: | |
| After hiking the Sierra Nevada's for two weeks with my man servant some call them a husband, I noticed that his Talon 44 matched his blue eyes. But it wasn't until near the end of the trip that I noticed how light his pack was compared to my old 3+ pound pack. That was not fair and I couldn't get him to switch. When we returned home I quickly ordered the Talon 33 from Moosejaw. A month later we spent a week hiking in Pennsylvania's Elk Country. I customized the fit with the adjustable harness and with a full load for extended day hiking and camera essentials, the pack performed quite well, It carried the load more comfortable then my trusted old pack. Osprey has a winner. Oh did I mentio | |

Very Light! Good product, not great. | |
| Rating: | |
After reading many good reviews on this product (mostly from people who didn't pay for it) I was excited and went out and bought one. I had very high expectations. I bought this product for fast packing, basically short overnight trips. The backpack is very light. It fit all I needed for my overnighter in Kentucky, but I have two complaints. The adjustment to get it to fit well and feel good took me a long time. I was playing with the straps most of my trip. Secondly when I used the hydration pocket and my Camelbak bladder was full it pushed on my back and made a good fit impossible. So overall this is a good light backpack. Doesn't hold much, but overall I am happy with it. | |

Great pack for what it is designed for! | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great pack for those who know how to use it. As a result of having a minimalist suspension, you have to load this pack with the consideration that where you put things inside affects how comfy it is. Loaded correctly(soft things against the back panel), I've worn this on many a day hike and been quite happy. The shoulder straps actually stretch a little bit which makes them disperse the load a little more while the hipbelt can actually carry the brunt of the weight. Keep it under 30 pounds with your gear loaded wisely and you'll be happy. I've also used this a fair amount for bike commuting which works quite well because of how this pack conforms to your body. | |

Not So Much, get a stratos instead | |

| I use this pack as my day pack to the local crag to go climbing. Wheres theres rock climbing, there tends to be rocks, and i dont think osprey expected that. Only had it 2 months and the bottom has a hole..i dont think it was designed to be put down anywhere but your car and your closet. its super light, but you can feel EVERYTHING in your pack b/c the back piece isn't a frame, and it has little-no padding. pretty much feels like cardboard behind you. go for a stratos instead | |

| Shoulder harness way to light gray/white as compared to others I've seen out there in other gear shops. To many straps, still prefer the single waist belt system. Could be a good BackPack for others, but not for me.. | |

A nice light pack with plenty of "at hand" storage. The hard contoured back panel makes it comfortable and ventilates well but makes it difficult to pack large or hard items. Straps and buckles seem wimpy. | |
