FAQs
What is the capacity of the Osprey Talon 33 Backpack?
The Osprey Talon 33 Backpack has a volume of 33 liters.
Is the backpack suitable for women?
The Talon series is designed primarily for men. Osprey offers the Tempest series, which is the women's equivalent, featuring a women's specific fit.
Can I attach external gear like a sleeping pad?
While there are no specific external straps for a sleeping pad, you can potentially use the compression straps or other creative methods to attach lighter items externally, though this is not the primary design intent.
What type of fabric is used in the backpack?
The main fabric is 100% Recycled 100D high-tenacity nylon with a dobby check ripstop. Accent fabric is 100% Recycled 70D Nylon, and bottom fabric is 100% Recycled 420D Nylon. It also features a Bluesign APPROVED DWR treatment made without PFAS.
Does the backpack come with a hydration reservoir?
No, the hydration reservoir is not included with the backpack. It features an internal sleeve designed to accommodate most 2-3 liter reservoirs.
How do I adjust the hip belt pockets?
The hip belt pockets are fabric pockets integrated into the hip belt itself. They are designed for easy access to small items like snacks, a phone, or a small camera without needing to remove the pack.
What are the dimensions of the backpack?
The dimensions are H68 x W30 x D31cm.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or unstable.
Readjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt. Ensure the hip belt is sitting on your iliac crest. Distribute weight evenly within the pack, with heavier items closer to your back.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check the zipper for any fabric or debris caught in it. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush or cloth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax if necessary.
Water is leaking into the pack.
While the DWR treatment provides water resistance, the pack is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a pack cover or dry bags for sensitive items inside.
Trekking poles or ice axe are not secure.
Ensure the poles/axes are properly inserted into their respective attachment points and secured with the bungee ties or straps. Tighten any loose bungee cords.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The pack is designed for immediate use. Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the load lifter straps are set to pull the pack closer to your back. Load heavier items closer to your back and in the lower half of the main compartment for optimal balance.
Compatibility: The internal hydration sleeve is compatible with most 2-3 liter hydration reservoirs (reservoir not included). Attachments for trekking poles and ice axes are standard.
Care: To clean the backpack, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean dirty areas. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the fabric and coatings. Allow the pack to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris for smooth operation.
