I just purchased a Tallon 22 in Red. I overlooked this pack for the longest. I initially wanted a brand that wasnt as popular as Osprey (wanted to give Osprey direct competitors a chance) , but there’s no denying how multi-functional this backpack is. Osprey really did a fantastic job with The Tallon series.
Greetings from Canada! Very nice review brother! Im only days away from getting mine in the mail. Researched it for weeks and took the chance. Great thing is I've seen over a dozen vids on this pack and yours is the first that actually demonstrates the lid lock for helmets. Cheers for that! Be well Craig
Great pack, I just hiked through Italy with mine and all of the features came to use. One feature missed in this review and all others I’ve seen is the whistle built into the chest buckle.
Glad to hear it! If you require any more information, the link to the product is here: www.trekitt.co.uk/33062/products/osprey-talon-22-ultramarine-blue.aspx
Nice review. Finally saw an example of how to use the walking pole storage and axe loops. Exactly what I was looking for. Also useful note on the moisture drainage on the bottom side. Excellent review.
Bit late coming to the party😂! Just got mine yesterday and found this video today, now I know what all the bits are for!! Great and informative review, thank you👍 regards from deepest Dorset
How far towards the front of my body should the hip pockets be? I just received my Talon 22 and they barely make it to the my side of my waists. Loosened all the straps too. Can someone tell me if that's normal or should I get a larger pack? I'm 5'9 and 185lb. For some reason I thought the side pockets would be closer to the front of my body for easy access. Any info would be appreciated.
Great review,!! Seems the only vital thing missing that appears on other Osprey packs is the rain gear. Essential when packing camera or drone equipment.
The raincover is only absent on their super lightweight packs to save weight, on packs such as the Stratos which are a little more substantial the raincover is included. Kind regards, Harry.
You should have no problem fitting a laptop in this bag; you could even use the hydration sleeve to separate it from the rest of your kit. Regards, Harry.
Hi, Paul is wearing the Rab Vapour-Rise Guide trousers. You can find them via the link below. Regards, Harry. rab.equipment/uk/vapour-rise-guide-pants-1

Backpack just came in and I’m having trouble with the fit. Is the waist strap suppose to overlap my belly button or under my belly button? I’ve even adjusted it to the last arrow marked setting but the waist strap still sits high up..
Just got my T22, heading to Everest BC in a couple of weeks - just what I was looking for, fully adjustable, and good for a tall guy! Great review, thank you for the explaining the features Paul. RRP is £90.00 in some stores, Trekitt sells for £74.20 - bargain in my opinion on a pack for life i feel. Paul i do need a hydration pack to add in to the external compartment provided, where would you advise the run the tube? Or just leave it hanging? Many thanks, happy trailing.
Thank you for the kind words! In regards to the hose; once you've threaded it over the shoulder straps and through the elastic, you can simply leave it dangling down as it'll only hang by a few inches. Osprey do make a Magnet Kit to allow you to fasten a magnet to the hose, meaning once you've had your drink you can clip the bite valve back onto the magnet. Unfortunately we've totally sold out of these, however I'll pop the link below if you want to have a better look at it. Regards, Harry. www.trekitt.co.uk/32833/products/osprey-hydraulics-hose-magnet-kit.aspx
The above video will help to a degree, as most of the weight will be pushed through your hips rather than your spine, alleviating pressure from your spine.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to demonstrate the length of both; it all depends on your back length. For example, Paul is 6ft 3" and wears a M/L, however someone around 5ft 8" would most likely wear the S/M, but we couldn't guarantee this as this person may feature most of their height in their upper body. What we can do is if you find a pack which you need exact measurements for, give us a ring and we can measure the length of the pack and compare it to your back length. Our number is 01432 263335.
The Futura 22SL is a female specific pack, so you'd want to compare the Futura 24 if you've been considering the Talon. In regards to the differences, the Talon is lighter, however the Futura has a much more breathable back system. You can't go wrong with either, however we'd recommend trying both on with some weight to feel the difference.
Thanks for that, but I'm pretty sure there is futura 22 which is different from futura 22SL. There's a few review in CZcams if You have a look. I just ask, hoping that you have one in stock as well. Thanks very much again.
I'm afraid we don't stock the 22. I've popped a link below just in case you wanted to have a look at our current range. www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=futura
The Daylite Plus is an everyday use bag with a little travel and general walking thrown in, however the Talon 22 is far better for mountain walks, day hikes and carrying more weight.
may i ask more additional advice? I'm 5'10" 150 lbs and my torso length is approximately 20.5 inches. Would the small/medium size be a perfect fit or should i get the bigger medium/large size to be safe? I would try it at a store that carries the talon 22 but closest one i see around me is 50 miles away...

Despite their massive marketing presence and ubiquitous nature on the hills, Osprey do actually make a very good rucksack! Thanks for watching.
Great no nonense review, I wish all CZcams reviews could be like this. Direct, to the point mentioning all the features. Big thumbs up fro me👍👍👍👍
He is the best. I follow his review from Italy.
it's not a review... its advertisment. They sell it
One of my best acquired belongings. Very happy and satisfied with my osprey Talon 22. Yahooooooooo.
Great video! I've had this pack for about 3 years now but wanted to check out a video to make sure I was using it to its fullest potential. Thank you.

Hoping Craig that all is well with you and yours sir. Trekitt are situated in my home town and my Talon 33 Litre is superb 👍😊
I watched several reviews of this pack. This was the most complete review. Thanks!
No problem, thanks for watching. Harry
Great pack, I just hiked through Italy with mine and all of the features came to use. One feature missed in this review and all others I’ve seen is the whistle built into the chest buckle.
which whistle
ohh i see
Wow great observation!!!!
Great review - thank you!!
I’ve just bought the stealth version of this pack. I think I’m going to be a happy man in the morning when it comes.
Great videos & website BTW ✌️
Thank you, and good choice! Enjoy your new pack. Harry
Very comprehensive review and helped me with my purchase decision - I bought one! Thanks.
I hope that you're happy with your new Talon, good choice!

Better late than never! I hope that you and your Talon are very happy together. Paul.
Awesome Review :) Thanks very much for sharing amazing reviews sir. Have a great day.
Great review of the pack features, my wife and just purchased this pack Cheers
Hi Charles, thanks for your comments and I hope that you're both very happy with your new packs.

They're in the correct position if they're on the side. I'm not sure why they're not on the front but I'm sure Osprey have a logical reason! Harry
Great review.👍

Trekitt Mountain Sports : Thanks Harry, for the great information. Truly enjoyed your presentation!
Cheers, from the U.S.
Nice review. Just nabbed one the other day.
Do you think it would carry a thin 15" laptop for urban use?
You should have no problem fitting a laptop in this bag; you could even use the hydration sleeve to separate it from the rest of your kit. Regards, Harry.
You are the best!!!!! Thank you!!!
What trousers are you wearing? Thank you for the video.
Hi, Paul is wearing the Rab Vapour-Rise Guide trousers. You can find them via the link below. Regards, Harry.

what down jacket is that? I'm looking to purchase one but i have no knowledge in brands.
It's the Rab Microlight Alpine, you can find it here: www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=microlight%20alpine

This should be the most useful answer: czcams.com/video/Sl1yJakKp-4/video.html
Kind regards.
Hi, is it S/M size or M/L ? Thanks
This particular pack was a M/L. Paul is around 6ft 3, therefore the back length needs to be longer to suit his height.
Just got my T22, heading to Everest BC in a couple of weeks - just what I was looking for, fully adjustable, and good for a tall guy! Great review, thank you for the explaining the features Paul.

Is it versatile to use to work to the point of not being weird?
Absolutely! Despite being great for commuting, walking and biking, it's subtle enough to be used for everyday life including work.
i wonder if this is good if you have herniated disc
The above video will help to a degree, as most of the weight will be pushed through your hips rather than your spine, alleviating pressure from your spine.
Hi, great review! where could you fit a small rolled up picnic blanket?
Would have to be in the main compartment unless you could squeeze it into one of the side bottle pockets or the stretchy front pocket.
@@trekitt thanks, was hoping it may fit in the front pocket 🤔
@@ryan2836 A two litre bottle will squeeze in this front pocket, so that should give you some reference.
@@trekitt thank you very much
what are those stuff sacks?
They're Exped's range of drybags, you can find them here: www.trekitt.co.uk/storage/dybags--and--stuffsacks
I wish there was a side to side review of the S/M and M/L size. Will give Us buyers a better idea since most of this are being ordered online.

Thanks for your reply, I'm torn between this and the Deuter Futura 22. How would You compare them since they both offer 22 liters?

In regards to the differences, the Talon is lighter, however the Futura has a much more breathable back system.

Am I the only one who has problems with rubbing his armes over the waist belt pockets? I find it annoying and uncomfortable...
Hi, you're probably not the only person! You could always cut off the pockets to reduce the annoyance or buy a pack without them. Paul.
How does this compared to day lite plus from osprey
The Daylite Plus is an everyday use bag with a little travel and general walking thrown in, however the Talon 22 is far better for mountain walks, day hikes and carrying more weight.
Trekitt Mountain Sports I guess I found my daypack for my travels 😁
may i ask more additional advice? I'm 5'10" 150 lbs and my torso length is approximately 20.5 inches. Would the small/medium size be a perfect fit or should i get the bigger medium/large size to be safe? I would try it at a store that carries the talon 22 but closest one i see around me is 50 miles away...
Where is loptap pocket
The Talon is a lightweight mountain/walking pack, therefore it isn't designed to house a laptop.
Have one - could spit through the material; so don't fall of your bike! Otherwise a nice pack.
Too much white noise in this video for me, cant watch it / listen to it. Sorry
We've since upgraded our microphone!
Great vid, you're 100% ex-mil I'd even say bootneck? Recognise those presentation skills anywhere
