Inside Look: Osprey Talon 33, 44 & 55 (Which Should You Choose?)

The iconic Osprey Talon range was developed to be a hugely versatile and lightweight pack for just about any outdoor activity where you need to carry light to moderate amounts of kit in supreme comfort. It's perfectly at home thrashing around the mountains, travelling across the world or lugging your stuff around on the daily commute. This new and updated version builds on the already incredible reputation of the Talon and incorporates recycled fabrics and an injection-moulded AirScape backpanel that moves as you move.

    I got myself an Osprey Manta 34 last week and I have to say that the "stow-on-the-go" feature genuinely surprised me in terms of how much I like it. Looking at the marketing pictures I always though it looked uncomfortable to have your poles there so I expected to not make use of it, but I at least gave it a try and they're not in the way at all.

This is by no means a lightweight pack at almos 1500 grams for a 44 liters pack. Why anybody is saying out loud that the new talons are not same as the old ones at almost 40% more weight??????

Which size will be better for 2 nights for a regular trip and sometimes for a few more or around week? Will 44l be a compromise variant for light-weight stuff with tent? Or 44 my be to big for my regular light-weight 2 nights trip? Thanks!

    Hey Mark, it's all about the torso length and not the capacity of the pack. Your own personal kit will determine the capacity, your torso length will determine the size required. Check out this helpful video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/haBl26yam67WXZc.html

    I had a chance to try the 33liter talon and i really like it. Unfortunately my torso is 1-2 inches too long for this pack. I know it's not as important to have a perfect fit for this size pack but is there a similar pack (feature-wise) you can recommend that does adjust to at least 24 inches? Thanks guys, great reviews!

    I'm afraid most packs stop at 21/22". I've had a look through our range and currently can't find anything longer. Might be a good idea to visit us (if you're near) or your local specialist to have a proper pack fitting. It's much easier in person when you're at the top or bottom end of the measurements.

I did buy one of these in L/XL thinking it is the new M/L but I measured it up against my old osprey talon 33 in size M/L and the L/XL is not bigger but not available in M/L size. Would you recommend I go S/M in this one then?
