Review: Osprey Backpacks

Fifty Sense Seal of Approval I have used Osprey Backpacks for the past ten years. They offer a wide range of packs from long distance packs, to ultra lightweight, to daypacks, including custom fit packs. They feature a unique ventilation system to help air circulation, keeping you cool.

Their hipbelts (patent pending) are a revolutionary advance in the area of custom fit hipbelts. All feature ErgoPull closure that draws tension along the top and the bottom of the belt with split support wings. Their superb hip pad design offers a fit that is comfortable right off the shelf. With the additional benefits of in-store heat molding they bring you the best fitting hipbelts you've ever worn.

I tested the Talon 44. The Talon 44 is their lightest multi-day backpack. It features top loading with zippered sleeping bag access, a floating top pocket, front and side stretch woven pockets and an aluminum rail with composite side struts for superb load control. It was extremely comfortable from the get-go and weighs only 2lbs 5 oz!
