"Hike, go canyoneering, or take a quick overnight trip with your Osprey Talon 33 Backpack. This lightweight backpack holds loads up to 25 pounds and is all you need for a day or two in the backcountry. Access the main compartment from the top and stash your helmet or trekking poles in the front or side stretch pockets. An external hydration compartment holds your water bladder (not included). A loop on the bottom of the Talon 33 lets you tow your teammate during an adventure race. Ice axe loops make this pack a good option for climbing frozen waterfalls, too. Osprey gave this backpack a padded back panel with air channels and a mesh harness and hip-belt, so plenty of air circulates underneath this pack to keep you cool. Pockets on the harness and hip-belt are ideal for your energy bars and gel."

Men's Talon 33
Reviewed by Jon, Jul 09, 2007

"I purchased the Osprey Talon 33 based on Osprey's overall reputation and the fact that a fellow hiker told me on the way up to Mt. LeConte in GSMNP that he would never place another brand of pack on his back again after using Osprey products. I also found a review of this pack in the Backpacker 2007 Gear Guide and they rated it best overall daypack."
