Osprey Talon Velocity Backpacks - Extreme Comfort

[@jamesarnold3855]

Amazing pack. Picked mine up this week after seeing your breakdown. Cheers!

Hi, thank you for the great review. Do you think the "running vest front" compromises comfort for longer walks?

[@craigdonmountainsportsinve9869]

Hi. Thanks for commenting :) I think the harness arrangement on these packs will actually enhance comfort on longer walks. Other than the complexity of the system, which some people might not like, I see very little downside to this arrangement and expect to see more backpacks like this coming onto the market.

Has anyone tested it in high mountain?

Can you compare the regular tempest/talon with this one? I'd like to buy a 20L one for 1-2 day hiking.

Hi - the main difference is the Velocity's running vest-inspired harness and the storage pockets on the chest straps. Both packs would be ideal for day hiking or short trips where your not carrying camping kit. The best option depends on your personal preference. If you like moving fast and having easy access to snacks/hydration/phone/keys etc while on the move then the Velocity is the better option. If your not too fussed about the closer fit of the vest style harness and the additional chest pockets ideal for 'fastpacking' then the traditional Talon (mens fit)/Tempest (smaller frame/womens fit) is a great light weight but fully featured all-round multi sport pack with similar features.

You might want to review your videos before uploading to KZbin… I couldn’t hear what you were saying. An external microphone would be a good investment. Stopped viewing half way through.

Thanks for the comment. The dialogue is perfectly audible on my machine but I take your point. The audio quality could be a lot better. We have already purchased a couple of radio mics which will be put to use on the next video later this week! Watch this space!

Must be deaf pal. Can hear it clearly. 😂

Get your hearing checked bud
