Osprey Talon Velocity 20

Looking for the perfect partner for your fastest mountain challenges? The men's Talon Velocity 20 multi-sport backpack was designed for those who don't want anything to hold them back. Whether you're into fast hiking, cycling, or ski touring, this pack will become your second skin. Its construction masterfully combines lightness and functionality with ergonomics inspired by running vests, ensuring maximum stability and freedom of movement even in the most demanding terrain.

At the heart of the backpack is the innovative AirScape back system made of breathable EVA foam. Unlike standard models, this system in the Velocity version is exceptionally flexible and perfectly follows your body's dynamic movements during any activity. Thanks to the 10 cm torso length adjustment, you can customize the pack exactly to your figure. Maximum carrying comfort is ensured by the BioStretch hipbelt with comfortable padding and a seamless connection to the pack body, which eliminates unpleasant friction.

Inspiration from the world of trail running is particularly evident in the shoulder straps. These are equipped with pockets compatible with 500ml soft flask containers, so you have hydration constantly at hand. There is also a spacious phone pocket and a smaller pocket for small items. For longer expeditions, the pack is equipped with an external space for a hydration reservoir and the unique Stow-on-the-Go system for lightning-fast attachment of trekking poles without the need to stop or remove the pack.

Storage space is thought out to the last detail. The front mesh pocket can hold a helmet or a spare layer of clothing, while the stretch side pockets are accessible from two directions for easy gear handling on the move. The Talon Velocity 20 pack also considers ecology and durability. It is made from 100% recycled nylon with bluesign certification and features a DWR water-repellent finish without harmful PFAS substances. To increase safety, the sternum strap is equipped with an integrated whistle.

This top-tier model is available in two variants based on torso length and volume. Size S/M offers a volume of 20 liters at a weight of just 0.87 kg. The larger version L/XL has a volume of 22 liters with a weight of 0.88 kg. Both variants are rated for a maximum load of 11 kg, making them the ideal choice for intense day trips where speed and efficiency play the main role.
