OVERALL 4.6
BEST SUSPENSION
Osprey Talon 33/Tempest 30
$1652 lbs. 6 oz. (m's M/L)
SUSPENSION: 4.8
Like our favorite backpacking packs but in miniature, the Talon 33 (the Tempest is the women's version) comes with load-lifters, a beefy hipbelt, and best-in-test adjustability-all of which contribute to an extremely stable carry, even with 25 pounds on board. The superior load transfer starts with the S-curve back panel, which contours to your back and eliminates pack sway. Horizontal ridges in the stiff foam allow vertical flex but prevent barrelling. We also appreciated the wide, bell-shaped hip fins, which wrap both the hips and lumbar spine to seamlessly transfer weight to the lower body.
COMFORT: 4.6
The Talon's multiple sizing options and adjustable shoulder harness make it easy to find the perfect fit. We never experienced chafing, thanks to the spacer mesh and thin layer of die-cut foam padding on the shoulder harness and hipbelt. Shallow horizontal foam strips in the mesh-wrapped back panel provide modest airflow, but we still soaked our T-shirts on 70°F days in the Colorado high country.
ORGANIZATION: 4.4
Two zippered hip-belt pockets are smartphone-sized, and dual side pockets easily fit a 1-liter Nalgene (though we needed a buddy to reach it while hiking). We appreciated the roomy top lid, which fit a headlamp, extra snacks, and a small first aid kit, as well as the stretch mesh dorsal sleeve for keeping a rain shell at the ready.
DURABILITY: 4.4
