FAQs
What does 'AirScape' mean?
'AirScape' refers to Osprey's innovative backpanel system. It uses an injection-molded, die-cut foam covered with mesh to provide a stable, breathable, and close-to-body fit that minimizes contact points while maximizing airflow.
Is the Talon™ 22 waterproof?
The Talon™ 22 is made from 100D x 210D Bluesign Recycled Robic Nylon, which offers good water resistance. It will protect against light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, we recommend using a separate rain cover (sold separately).
How do I use the 'Stow-on-the-Go' trekking pole attachment?
The 'Stow-on-the-Go' system allows you to quickly stash your trekking poles without removing your pack. Simply slide the shaft of your poles through the elastic loop on the lower left side of the pack, and then secure the grips under the elastic loop on the left shoulder strap.
Can I fit a laptop in this pack?
While the main compartment is spacious, the Talon™ 22 does not feature a dedicated padded laptop sleeve. A smaller laptop or tablet might fit, but it would not be securely suspended or protected from bumps. The pack is primarily designed for outdoor gear.
What is 'Bluesign Recycled Robic Nylon'?
This refers to the fabric used in the pack. 'Bluesign' is a standard for environmentally friendly and safe production practices. 'Recycled Robic Nylon' indicates that the durable and abrasion-resistant nylon fabric is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
What is the warranty for the Talon™ 22?
Info needed: Please refer to Osprey's official website or your retailer for specific warranty details, as terms can vary by region and product.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or unstable.
Ensure the torso length is correctly adjusted for your body. Check that the hipbelt is snug and resting on your hip bones, not your waist. Tighten shoulder straps and sternum strap for a close-to-body fit.
Difficulty accessing hydration reservoir.
Utilize the dedicated external hydration access sleeve located behind the backpanel. This allows you to remove and refill the reservoir without needing to unpack the main compartment.
Gear (e.g., water bottles, extra layers) keeps falling out of side pockets.
Make sure to use the InsideOut compression straps located on the sides of the pack. These straps can be routed over or through the stretch mesh side pockets to secure contents effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Adjust Torso Length: The Talon™ 22 features an adjustable torso length via a micro-adjustable sliding yoke. Loosen the hook-and-loop closure behind the backpanel, slide the yoke up or down until the hipbelt sits comfortably over your hip bones, then firmly press the closure back into place. The top of the shoulder straps should align with the top of your shoulders.
- Fit Hipbelt: Fasten the hipbelt so its padded section wraps around your hip bones, not your waist. Tighten until snug, ensuring the pack's weight is primarily on your hips.
- Adjust Shoulder Straps: Pull shoulder strap adjusters to snug the pack against your back. Ensure there's no gap between your shoulders and the straps.
- Sternum Strap: Fasten and adjust the sternum strap with emergency whistle across your chest for added stability and to keep shoulder straps from slipping. Adjust its height for comfort.
- Load Lifters: If present, adjust load lifter straps (above the shoulder straps) to pull the pack closer to your body, bringing the load forward.
Compatibility
- Hydration: Compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs, utilizing the external hydration access and internal reservoir hanging loop.
- Attachments: Designed for trekking poles, ice axes, and bike helmets. The LED light attachment point is compatible with most clip-on bike lights for enhanced visibility.
Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the pack with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and coatings.
- Drying: Hang the pack upside down in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, to air dry completely. Ensure all compartments are open.
- Storage: Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Material: The 100D x 210D Bluesign Recycled Robic Nylon is durable and water-resistant, but for heavy rain, consider using a separate rain cover as the pack itself is not fully waterproof.
