Great review. The hip belt doesn't look as comfortable as the previous Talon models and not sure how 'rainproof' that new zipped opening is - don't these seem like steps backwards? I feel like Osprey have a bad habit of making slight downgrades to good designs for no good reason (other than maybe saving themselves money).

The 26 and 36 are just additions to the range - you can still get the 22 in a clamshell opening and the 33/44/55 in the usual top-loading design. This design is similarly weather-resistant to a clamshell opening, but I typically use drybags for peace of mind. Harry

Hello. Thanks for this great video. It really helps me out. I have one question. As the pack is not waterproof I want to put one big dry bag inside to keep everything dry. (The Talon 26) What size would you recommend for a dry bag to fill the whole main compartment? Would that be a 30 liter drybag? Thank you!
@trekitt
3 жыл бұрын
A 30 litre drybag would work well, but I'd actually recommend lots of smaller drybags rather than one large one. It allows you to organise and separate your kit by colour. Plus, if one drybag gets damaged and leaks, it's only the contents of that small bag which will be affected. Here's the set I use: www.trekitt.co.uk/equipment/storage/exped-fold-drybag-bs-set-xs-l__35361

Great review. I have the Talon 33 but I mainly only do about 6 hours max in the mountains. I am thinking of going smaller to the 26. I am used to the buckle opening/closing system. Is the Zipped bucket opening system beter than the buckle system..any advantages/disadvantages to both? The one thing that puts me off the Zipped is tat its on a bity of a steep angle from the back to the front so if the pack is filled to the top and you open it some of the contents at the top could just fall out. You do mention in the video that you do prefer the Zipped bucket top

Personal preference does come into play with preferred styles. You make a valid point about fully stuffed packs, but you don't have to open the pack all the way to access it, so can negate some of the issue that way. The Zip top can be easier to operate and looks a little cleaner, in practice I haven't really noticed any issues with either style lid, so if you think 26L is big enough I'd say go for it! Ben

@@trekitt Thanks Harry. I do not think the 26 has compression straps at the top of the pack, which would mean the poles would not be very secure in a mesh pocket.

The Stratos range is more supportive and better at dealing with heavier weights. Consequently, it's heavier itself. The Talon is lighter, more flexible and a lighter pack overall, but not as supportive.
