Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain bike the epic South Boundary Trail in New Mexico or hike slot canyons in Utah's San Rafael Swell with the Osprey Talon 22 Backpack. This lightweight backpack holds everything you need for an ambitious day outside. Stuff extra clothes and a jacket in the top-accessed main compartment and your bike helmet in the stretchy front pocket. Your water bladder (not included) goes in the hydration compartment, and energy gel stashes nicely in your harness pockets. Osprey gave the Talon 22 Backpack a mesh harness and hip-belt as well as a padded back panel with air channels to keep air flowing underneath this pack so you stay cool."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For those looking for a mountain biking backpack, full-day adventure race backpack, or a well-built day hiking pack, the Osprey Talon 22 is a worthy choice. Osprey holds on tight to their well-deserved reputation for comfortable load carriers here, with a lightweight, yet effective suspension that nicely transfers the weight to the mesh covered, perforated hipbelt. The shoulder harness is also mesh covered and perforated for moisture wicking comfort that gives you room to breathe when grinding over a pass or traversing a sun-baked boulder field. The main pack bag has panel loading access, which makes finding gear easy. A large slash pocket offers a separate space for further gear organization, while three stretch woven exterior pockets allow for packing gear in a hurry. Recommended load carrying capacity is 15 to 20 lbs."

Men's Talon 22
Reviewed by Vincent Moruzzi, Sep 22, 2008

"I needed a day pack for a day hike up Arizona's highest peak, Humphrey's Peak just north of Flagstaff. The Talon 22 was my choice. It easily handled two 70 oz. hydration bladders and the rest of my gear like a champ. The pack was very comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a lightweight technical day pack for hiking or even trail running."
