Sizing ChartOsprey Packs Talon 22 Backpack
For those looking for a mountain biking backpack, full-day adventure race backpack, or a well-built day hiking pack, the Osprey Talon 22 is a worthy choice. Osprey holds on tight to their well-deserved reputation for comfortable load carriers here, with a lightweight, yet effective suspension that nicely transfers the weight to the mesh covered, perforated hipbelt.

The main pack bag has panel loading access, which makes finding gear easy. A large slash pocket offers a separate space for further gear organization, while three stretch woven exterior pockets allow for packing gear in a hurry. Recommended load carrying capacity is 15 to 20 lbs.

Dimitri Avaloff - 2009-06-30Excellent, lightweight pack
Osprey once again does a fine shop of making a small, tough lightweight pack with all the amenities one can dream about. It fit in my large pack for a trip to Germany and uses very little packing space and very useful for day trips. It is a little light so it will take some time to see how it lasts through some beatings but I do have faith in Osprey. And Altrec is a great to site to shop - very fast, reliable and mostley at a great price.

I cross-country ski to my car-pool pickup and drop-off location each day and this pack has been perfect for carrying my lunch and a few books. It is lightweight and has easy to open and close pockets. The water-bladder pocket works well.

Jeanett - 2009-01-04Just what I expected.
I work at REI and have sold hundreds of these packs. When I finally decided to buy one, we were sold out! And no wonder. This pack is perfect for my every day commute. The zippers are covered for my bus ride, my rain jacket fits nicely in the front open pouch. Inside the main compartment there is a place for my money stash and another pocket for my cell phone, etc. The main mistake people make is thinking this pack is made for laptops or large books. It is designed to be a daypack - meaning no more than 20 pounds and if you want it to work right, the weight should be distributed evenly. Lunch, shoes, keys, water bottle, camera, ipod, rain jacket, and whatever else you need - I couldn't have asked for a better pack.
Janep - 2008-12-21search no further, this pack does it all!
MTB, running, hiking, or just everyday use this pack is your "do it all." My favorite features of this pack would have to be the two hip belt pockets and the two shoulder strap pockets. The side belt pockets are perfect for cell phones, gps, cameras, wallet etc...the two shoulder pockets are great for that quick energy bar snack on the go, or maybe even compass. No pack can be everything, but this one comes close!
NIterider - 2008-11-24Functional, comfortable
Sizing is great and design extremely practical. 3 liter hydration bladder fits with no problem. Have used for a day hike, and have been using it regularly for mountain biking, including carrying extra clothes and leg armor. highly recommend
Anonymous - 2008-01-19lightweight with easy accessibility
Took the Talon 22 on a trip to the Big Island where we did long hikes and some climbing over rugged terrain. It performed very well and the torso adjustment feature ensured a comfortable, non-shifting fit. Loved the accessibility to camera and cell phone in the waist straps and the multiple compartments made everything easy to find.
Sergio - 2007-12-10The osprey backbacks are the best
Great day pack. The ventilation and the adjustable fit are top-notch on this pack. It's a great backpack. I have used other backpacks but this one it's the best.
Jason - 2007-03-19Great day pack
The ventilation and adjustable fit are top-notch on this pack. Talon 22 is lightweight but not flimsy. I think I'll get years of use out of this day pack. Just the right size for a 3-liter hydration pouch, some emergency gear, rain jacket and snacks - about all you need on a day hike.

Sizing Chart
Step 1 - Pack SizingAll Osprey packs, save the transit bags, are available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt SizingTo determine your hipbelt size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.
| Torso Length | Pack Size | Hip Measurement | Hipbelt Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| > 22" | XLarge | > 36" | XLarge |
| 20-22.5" | Large | 33-37" | L or WL |

ErgoPullNearly all Osprey hipbelts use an exclusive ErgoPull design. It creates mechanical advantage to provide extra leverage in cinching down the hipbelt. The ErgoPull design also draws tension along the top and bottom of the belt, not through the center, so it distributes pressure more evenly over the padding and relieves direct pressure on the hipbones.
Step 3 - Harness
Osprey Crescent & Luna, Aether & Ariel and Waypoint packs offer interchangeable shoulder harnesses. Harness sizing usually corresponds to pack size, but your best bet is to try one on. A properly fit harness should terminate 2 to 3" beneath the armpit. Webbing should not touch the body. By breaking the hook and loop connection and sliding the harness up and down the backpanel the torso length can be adjusted up to 3". (see illustration).
| Men's | SM | MD | Large | XLarge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women's | WXS | WSM | WM | WL |
Step 4 - Overall Fit
Once you have the correct size pack, harness and hipbelt, and the torso length set properly, it's time to put some weight in the pack (20 to 30 pounds of well distributed weight will do) and dial in the fit. First, snug down the hipbelt and harness. Connect the sternum strap (A) - position it about 2 inches below your collarbones and snug it down lightly. Finally, tighten the load lifter straps to draw the load solidly against your back. The lift straps (B) should come off your shoulders at a 45 to 60 degree angle in Osprey's ReCurve and Ethereal Suspension packs. In other models these straps serve more as compression straps and ride flatter; they may even angle downwards.
In a good fit, there should be no pressure points and no gaps between your body and the pack. With Osprey's ReCurve packs, final tweaking may involve custom fitting the aluminum stays to your back.
Offered in colors: Acid Green, Citron Yellow, Magnesium Grey, Moonlight Blue and Spicy Chili. Available sizes, while supplies last, include size s/m and size m/l: s/m, m/l.
