I recently purchased the Osprey Talon 44 backpack to use for traveling - and after a few month of use, I can say that's it's probably the best travel backpack I've ever owned.
As a continuous world travler, having a pack is probably one of the most important items I own. It's like a home away from home, a storage for all my possessions and something that is extremely comfortable.
In this video review of the Osprey Talon 44 I'll go over the top 9 reasons just why I think this is a perfect travel companion.
One of the highlights of the bag is that it's extremely lightweight - seriously, when I first picked it up, I could barely even feel anything! This is a huge bonus for travelers because when the backpack itself already weighs a lot, adding just a few items can make it reach the maximum for a hand carry. The Osprey Talon 44 on the other hand give you space and weight to carry what you need.
Here's my philosophy:
If your bag burdens or hinders you from doing what you want or being flexible, your bag is too big or heavy.
I love the size of this backpack - at 44 liters it's not too big, yet it's big enough to carry everything I need when I travel.
The size, the lightweight, the simple features, and the serious comfort of the pack when loaded are all reasons why I think it's the best travel backpack out there.
There are two drawback to the pack - one is that there's not that much padding on the bag itself (for your things). If you carry a computer like I do, you'll have to add a t-shirt or something at the bottom to give the bag a little extra padding. The next drawback is that it would have been nice it it included a rain cover - although that would have made the pack a bit heavier. That's solved by a plastic bag or an external rain fly.
Overall, it's an awesome, extremely well made backpack that I'd highly recommend for hiking backpackers or lightweight travelers.

    Watching all the Osprey videos what gave me up to buy one was the way how I would remove FAST my laptop during screen. To open on the top and after open the laptop compartment is absolutly annoying….. I wanted something like TORTUGA but beautiful and confortable as Osprey but yet TORTUGA is the best option to me until now besides ugly……

    This is still the best travel backpack or already have better backpack?

    for the size, i think that if you are going to travel to a cold place you wont have enogh room for your cold clothes or a bigger sleeping bag, i wont talk about a tent… the price is very subjective but i think is too expensive… you can buy a very VERY decent TETON backpack for a fraction of the price, without being worried about the quality of the product. If you are living in USA, the Osprey unlimited-warranty is AMAZING (maybe that could justify the price), but if you are in other part of the world (like me, in Mรฉxico) , well, you may cover the ship charges.

    I ended up getting the Osprey Farpoint 40 which 40L and looks great. I just got it so will be testing it out shortly. Ospreys lifetime warranty is the shit
