Perfected even further, Talon Pro has only gotten more capable with every iteration. A true quiver killer, with
three available volumes that scale with the scope of your pursuits, it thrives in whatever situation and environment you
throw it into. Built with uncompromised durability, lightweight form and robust function, it’s the kind of pack experienced
outdoorspeople will reach for, whether they’re hauling gear into the alpine, cragging with a full rack of gear or tackling
selfsupported bikepacking trips—and reaching for the same pack for each adventure. If you’re looking for a technical pack
you’ll never outgrow, reach for the Talon Pro.

Our Verdict

For fast and light missions where you need a tough, pared-down pack, the Osprey Talon Pro 20L is a stellar choice. Part of Osprey’s newly redesigned Talon Pro series, this 20L daypack delivers outstanding durability from its NanoFly fabric construction. The 210D recycled nylon body features a double-ripstop grid of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethene for uncompromising abrasion resistance in demanding environments.

Despite its burly materials, the Talon Pro 20 remains lightweight, offering excellent carrying comfort and dynamic mobility. The injection-moulded AirScape frame provides just the right structured support and ventilation. The BioStretch mesh harness and hip belt allow uninhibited freedom of movement. An array of innovative features like a panel-loader, stretch pockets, compression straps and lash points allow you to organise gear efficiently. Other premium touches include a sliding torso adjustment, blinker light attachment and weather-resistant YKK zippers.
