The Talon series is Osprey's bestselling line of multi-activity packs, refined and enhanced over the years to keep them consistently at the top of their game. This men's Talon 44 is the largest of the bunch. With a max load of 16 kilos and a tell-tale 'leave no trace' label inside, it's engineered with multi-day trips in mind – but it's also ideal for those big winter mountaineering days when you've got a whole lot of equipment to carry. Whatever your activity of choice, the Talon's got plenty of space for tools-of-the-trade – with tuck-away dual ice axe attachment, zipped sleeping bag access, removable sleeping pad straps, and Osprey's much-loved 'stow-on-the-go' quick stash system for your trekking poles. It's a top-loader with a floating lid, but you've also got a full-length side zip that'll let you straight into the main compartment. Like the other packs in the Talon series, it uses Osprey's breathable Airscape backpanel, teamed with a close-fitting adjustable harness system and padded hipbelt.

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.
