The Talon series is Osprey's bestselling line of multi-purpose daypacks, refined and enhanced over the years to keep them consistently at the top of their game. This men's Talon 22 is one of the smallest in the collection – a lightweight panel-loader for fast-moving adventures. Dinky it may be, but for a compact pack, it's geared up for some serious exploits – with tuck-away ice axe attachment, a LidLock bike helmet attachment and Osprey's much-loved 'stow-on-the-go' quick stash system for your trekking poles. Aside from the main compartment, you've also got a variety of external pockets, including a roomy stretch mesh one on the front. Where many smaller daypacks skimp on harness comfort, this 22-litre version uses the same Airscape mesh-and-foam backpanel as the larger Talons, with a close-fitting adjustable harness system, padded hipbelt and extra-flexible BioStretch seams for free movement. It’s also available in a women’s fit as the Tempest 22.

The Osprey story started in California in the 1970s, with one man, a sewing machine and a vision to make the world’s best outdoor packs. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable rucksack brands.
All of Osprey's packs share the same twin hallmarks of fit and comfort. In fact, Osprey was an early adopter of breathable mesh, ergonomic hip-belts and packs designed specifically to fit women. Breathable back panels are still a feature of all their packs, and all except their most lightweight bags come with adjustable back-lengths for a perfect fit.
And in a world where outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, many Osprey packs are made from durable recycled fabrics, while all feature PFC-free water-repellent coatings.
