In those instances, we like a heavier-duty option like Osprey’s Stratos, which has a metal frame and more substantial foam for putting weight on your hips.Their stretchy mesh walls don't compromise the fit or the ventilation of the hip belt, so even unused they're not a drawback in any way. interesting articles, comprehensive gear reviews, breathtaking photographs and a vast and useful logbook system.

The Talon range of men's packs, and the women's equivalent the Tempest, come in a number of sizes from the Talon 11 (Tempest 9) to the Talon 44 (Tempest 40). This is down to its open mesh fabric, which overlays a back panel made up of foam ridges and tons of air space. With a lid lock for bike helmets and an external bladder sleeve all in a compression-heavy bag, Osprey has a popular day hiker that deserves its best-in-class assessment by everyone.

Remember that your hips carry most of the weight of the pack, so this should be firm but comfortable. For those looking for a more conventional daypack for use around town, check out the 20L Osprey Daylite Plus.

I took the Talon mountain biking where I live in the south of France and I was pretty impressed, I found it to be quite a bit cooler than my Camelbak. For walkers with larger bodies (including the 25% of women who are a size 18 or above), the arrival of the outdoor industry's first dedicated plus size pack collection will be met with a sigh of relief, says Steph Wetherell. We’ve taken the Talon 22 on hundreds of day hikes and on day trips when travelling around the world as well as the odd overnight hike. The zipped pockets on each side of the hipbelt allow quick and easy access to smaller items such as phone, snacks and GPS. Your torso length can be found by measuring from your C7 vertebra (the bony protrusion at the back of your neck when looking down) to the height of your iliac crest (top of your hip bones, where you put your hands on your hips).The Deuter Speed Lite 24 is one of the Talon’s closest competitors, with a similar capacity, feature set, and overall design. The Talon 22 uses a flexible frame-sheet to provide support and to transfer weight to your hips whilst maintaining flexibility and freedom of movement. We proudly stand behind this guarantee, so much so that it bears the signature of company founder and head designer, Mike Pfotenhauer. But for day trips and travel, we like the Talon 11, which has a very similar top-loading design and pocket layout.
