Osprey Talon 33L Men's Hiking Backpack with Hipbelt, Stealth Black, S/M

The perfect size for what I'm looking to do, fits great love it! Been using a similar but smaller osprey product for the last 8 years.

Love osprey bags. They are rock solid and very well made. I use these bags in very harsh conditions and they handle it without problems. Osprey even replaced my last bag free after it was deemed unrepairable. I ordered another one anyways because I wanted to support them and their great customer service. Good fit. Good padding. Great bag all around.

I chose this because I wanted a larger daypack that also had more rigid hip support. I usually hike with family and help carry extra gear on shorter day hikes so this is the perfect size and support for this. Excellent construction, fit and features.

I recently purchased the Talon 33 backpack and have been trying out all the different features. I like that there is a slot to put a hydration bladder in. It's quite tight, and a little difficult to put in a full bladder with a bunch of gear inside. I've found helpful is to put your full bladder in FIRST before putting your gear, etc. into your pack. The Talon 33 also has "stow on the go" dual loops that you can put your hiking poles it. While useful, I found the dual loops a bit difficult to easily taking your poles in and out. My poles have some metal nobs and some plastic handles that get caught in the dual loops. So while I am able to take my poles in and out, it does require a little shimmying to release the poles out, for example. The Talon 33 is also a top loading backpack, that has a drawstring on the side and the little loop on the reverse side that you pull to open and close. I was a little confused at first on how to open and close quickly (as I wasn't doing it right), but I watched a few videos online on how to open and close. Overall, a pretty good first backpack that took a bit of time for me to learn how set myself up for hiking success.

Just a great pack for my use. I do mostly day hiking. Some over nights. It sits high on the back .perfect for my build.can take all the essentials

I took a chance on this one and love it. It is a niche backpack but great for me. Like my 22L Osprey, it has excellent shoulder straps and hip belt. The volume of the 22L is just a little low for me=y use half the time, but I still use it. This 33L allows me to pack more when I need it and it doesn't feel odd or look weird when two-thirds full. It allows me to top it off with a puffy, warm stuff, clothes, or extra food when needed but can carry less equally well.I don't like bags with "brains" like this but it is the only negative and I knew that going in. I can easily adapt to it and gain the advantages of the larger size.

I took this bag hiking in Utah for about a week. The bag holds up and the waist straps really keep the weight off your shoulders. This is a very comfortable bag.If you are worried about the size because you are in between the small/medium and large/X-Large don’t worry they adjust for the 19-21 inch size and both fit pretty well.

there’s definitely some room for improvement for such a price.Pros:- comfortable, though it takes some adjusting and getting used to- the back frame is flexible but firm enough to carry the load for up to 10kg- fits plane carry on requirements if not overstuffed (small/medium size)- small when not loaded but can expand quite nicely- top lid for 30l and it’s is very roomy.- side mech pockets are very handy- side hip pockets are big enough to fit iPhone13 max- huge front mech pocket- lots of attachment options- very light- osprey.Cons:- top load only, without bottom access. You have to be aware of the order by which things are organized- no rain cover, no good place to put it either (I had one from an old 40l backpack and ended up stuffing it to the water system pocket)- hip stripes are too narrow in the front and end up rubbing the skinUPD: the pack is not that comfortable after all, I guess it’s the s/m sizing that doesn’t fit me.
