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.

I miss that feature after switching to an “ultralight” set up. When thru-hiking it was super useful for road walks.
14:44 One of the reasons I bought this pack, was because of this feature, but it doesn't work like you describe it. When I tighten the hip belt, it only tighten the front of my hip, it doesn't pull anything towards me. I literally tried it out 1 min ago and payed attention to it.
Thanks

weight is one the older ones was about 250 grams lighter, they are using recycled material which is probably inferior and cheaper to make but increased the price and the weight is considerably heavier lol. Bum deal I'd say
What is the comfortable maximum load weight for this backpack 44 and 55 ? So that the shoulder straps do not crush.
@trekitt

Osprey recommend no more than 11kg for the 44 and 16kg for the 55. Harry
I have purchased this backpack based on positive reviews like this, and reviews about the old model which is almos 400 grams lighter. 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??????
Paul, thanks for great review! unfortunately I cannot try on in the store in my country. Can you give some advice, please. 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
Nice video, but i have not seen any mention related to the weight and the fact that it increased by about 30% over the older series (at least for Talon 44). Do you have a scale to measure and compare between old and new ?

It's not an item we stock so I can't tell you how it's different in practice, but it seems to have a more substantial backsystem and a tougher selection of fabrics. Harry
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.

They used to be S/M or M/L but this new one is available in S/M and L/XL. 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?

Hi Gavin, you'll need to measure your back length and compare against the measurements below. We have a video on how to do this here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/haBl26yam67WXZc.html Fit range (S/M): 43-51cm Fit range (L/XL): 48-56cm
Did the Osprey replaced the Stratos 50 by the Stratos 44 variant? Because on their offical website the 50L variant does not exist anymore.

The shoulder straps are thinly padded. Do the shoulder straps put pressure on your shoulders if you carry more than 5-7 kg?

Not particularly. I personally prefer wider but thinner shoulder straps as they distribute the weight of the pack more evenly. Harry
