Osprey Talon 33L Backpack

So far used on a couple of day hikes. Very comfortable, plenty of compartments easily accessible. Too a few goes to get used to the drawstring sliders and still need to work out the walking pole holder arrangements. Impressed

Bought this for a 4 day hike along the SW coast path. Perfect size and comfortable to carry

I recently renewed my Osprey pack with a new Talon 33 model. It is a very comfortable lightweight pack with several improved features, including the side pockets and improved waist strap pockets. The attachment points for poles and ice axes etc have been improved. Overall the pack is great for single or multi day hikes. One small feature has been discontinued, - the small extra pocket with a velcrose fastening that was in the top external zipped pocket. This I found useful for storing a passport or document for easy access when travelling. I would have preferred this to be retained on the new model. Overall a great well designed pack for summer and winter use

This is my second pack from Osprey, the other being a 48. They are great rucksacks with every convenience covered and great for either single or multi day hikes

Great bag very light, been up winter hike with it fits all essential kit, ice axe and walkingbpoles fitted well. Really pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new pack is perfect! Osprey is awesome! It fits great, is super comfortable and is well designed. I would bever buy a pack from anyone else.

Super annoying that they've stitched the lid to the main body in the newer iteration. Now when it's full the lid tips forward in to your head. Stupid! Otherwise a very nice bag

My second Talon 33, replacing the first when repairs to the webbing pockets proved impractical. The current version is similar - the main difference noticed so far is that the lid is fixed rather than floating, and I prefer this change. The pack feels light, comfortable and fits well - I'm 187cm and have the L/XL size, which feels right. Easy to adjust the size and all the usual straps make it easy to tighten or slacken off according to load, temperature etc. There doesn't seem to be a point on the front for hanging a visibility lamp/light and there are no reflective markings. Hip belt pockets see a bit more robust and roomy than the last version. There's a small webbing pocket on the left shoulder strap, too small for a phone or wallet and not weatherproof so I'm not sure what use it serves. Some 'daisy-chain' loops on the shoulder straps or front of the pack would have been useful. No integrated cover (as per previous version) but not a problem as I still have my old cover. Still, feels like an odd omission for any pack. All considered, a nice pack for long day hikes, maybe a weekend trip.
