Osprey Talon 26 Mountain/Trail Backpack

The Osprey Talon 26 Backpack has a long list of features which really helps the bag speak for itself. If you are looking for a multipurpose bag that is at home on hiking trails and MTB trails then the Talon 26 could be the choice for you. With 26 litres, the bag has enough storage for a loaded single day out or a minimalist multi-day trip outdoors and the external stretch mesh pockets allow items that need regular access like waterproof layers or nutrition to be accessed quickly. Water can always be accessed in a hurry thanks to the separate water reservoir sleeve which keeps any moisture separate from the other gear you are carrying. Dual side straps keep the contents of your pack locked down minimising lateral movement and cargo is secured further with a wrap-around hip belt and a sternum strap with a useful integrated whistle. Larger items like an ice axe and trekking poles can be stored externally avoiding waste space inside your pack and keeping them easily accessible, the pack also has external loops for lights to give you visibility if your rides venture into the night.  With this level of functionality, the Talon is a bag that will see you through a wide range of outdoor activities making it an easy choice for your next backpack.
