That review on the 33 you did is why I’m buying it. Just a little more room. I really only do day hikes but “what if” I wanted to pack for the night. Better safe than sorry. Sound reasonable to you? I appreciate your help!

Thank you for the review. How do you determine what is the right height (how high or low the backpack should sit on your back) when using the height adjustment you pointed out at 2:22?

Hi Chris, in minute 5:27 you speak about little extra attachment on the "outside cargo compartment". In my opinion that is to store a (red) led (back) light when traveling / hiking / biking in the dark.

@basecampchris

You're right that is what that is for...next pack that has that I'll demo a light with it...good idea when biking at night! Thanks....

Hi Chris, Great videos. I am struggling choosing between the Talon 22 and Stratos 24. My main use will be for day hikes. I also have an Aethor 65. I know the 65 is pretty large, but could be used for an overnight hike if needed. My main concern is for a little bit more money, I'd get the rain cover and a little more storage and perhaps other uses. Wanted to get your thoughts, thanks!

@basecampchris

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jacob, I like how your thinking...yes the rain fly and the extra capacity really helps...they are both very good packs but the Stratos would work well for your day hikes in my opinion. Also the Aether is another good pack with the 65...I have an Atmos 65 ( love it! ) for my over-nighters, gives me plenty of room and very comfortable. I dayhike with the Manta 24...similar to the Stratos but has the outside stretch mesh cargo pocket! ( which I really like )

Thanks Sir

Such a good salesman, I ordered one half way thru the video, ahahaha

Looking for some backpack for upcoming hiking (up to 8h walk/day and return to rented home). Not sure if Talon 22 wouldn't be overkill, but after your review, I think I will give it a shot :). Thanks!

Thanks Sir. I bought One but it seems like is short , even if l extend it at the maximum. Where is supposed to be the lumbar support?. for me doesn't fit over my hip.just over .my model is MS/M. perhaps I needed the large one.lwill appreciate your help and advice. Thanks from Mexico

Is the width of the shoulder straps ok ? look a bit narrow and fit close to neck ?

Hi Chris would you recommend this pack or the Stratos 24 for day hikes (3-7 hrs long) and why?

@basecampchris

4 жыл бұрын

I prefer the Stratos 24 as it has slightly more capacity and a amazing suspension.

Chris, I went to REI to inspect this bag. I was trying to figure out the compression strap to the LEFT side if your looking at the Logo. I noticed the strap is INSIDE the water pouch and decided it was a flaw and didn't purchase. In your video (5:00) you also noticed something wrong and could not get the strap AROUND the bottle. Any Thoughts?

@basecampchris

I know what you are talking about...I have a 33L Talon just checked it and it has the same layout...not sure why it is like that. It's possible that when a set of trekking poles or a tent poles is in it it is a more direct hold down versus a water bottle. When I have some time I should call Osprey and ask about it.

It's by design. You have the option of the straps being inside the pocket, and out of the way, vs outside the pocket, to maybe strap other things besides a water bottle, e.g. camera tripod. One side has the straps inside, the other has straps outside to show how you would route the straps.

How does the mesh back work compared to the airspeed, does it get sweaty? Thanks!

@basecampchris

5 жыл бұрын

I prefer the Airspeed as it provides a little more space between your back and the pack...both provide some ventilation and airflow to reduce "sweatiness"...Thanks for watching!

Now this backpack has a size I like. If there‘s a blue option of this backpack I‘d like this even more 😉. The lid lock is genius I‘ve never seen that. Is this location in a national park?

Just tried using this pack with a 3L hydration pack -- huge PITA. The compression on the backside makes it difficult to get in and out, putting pressure on the pack. Pack started leaking.

@basecampchris

3 жыл бұрын

that is a PITA...if it were me I would try a 2.5 L make sure the compression straps are all the way open. Or return it to Osprey ( lifetime guarantee ) and get a Manta 24 with the dedicated hydration compartment...it's not just a sleeve but a good sized / zippered compartment...that is my go to pack in the size range.

Looking at 2021 version

is this good if i have back problems? ( i have herniated discs in lower back)

On amazon you can get one of these for a considerable discount if you get the red version, it’s 89 dollars as opposed to 120 for the dark green and black versions, 110 for blue
