Is this from when I incorrectly linked to a bag not the range? Otherwise happy to add a range if that’s the done thing.
Pretty sure this is what I've got. Used it a few times, comfortable and useful pack. You can't go past Osprey, I've got a few of their packs and never had any issues.
I keep hoping to see an Osprey hydration pack on clearance since I delayed on pulling the trigger some months ago :(
Thanks, got myself an Osprey Talon 11!

Thanks for this, I’ll update the post!
Such good packs. I have the Talon 22 and it's basically one of the best packs for everything short of climbing and running.
I use it for mountain biking, hiking, ski and everyday use. Only wish it was a bit more water resistant but there are covers for it.
I've got the Aether, great pack, super comfortable.
Remember when you buy any osprey pack you get free repairs and replacement parts (buckles, toggles, zip pulls etc) for the life of the pack.
I didn't Know that! Good to keep in mind for my 10+ year old Osprey Aether 85 pack (no repairs needed yet!)
I haven't had anything done to my aether, but I've lost a sternum strap, stepped on a buckle, and worn through a number of zip pulls on other heavily used bags and day packs over the years. All have been replaced without issue and without cost to me.
I would prefer Atmos style to be on sale ><.
They do come on clearance about once a year as they bring the models in. I have an Atmos and the harness is like a giant koala hugging you. Plus it breathes so well. My only complaint is I find the little pockets on the belt awkward, pretty minor point. Also I have an Exos 38 I did the Camino de Santiago walk with it, a great lighter pack. My son's have an ace 50 and a manta 36.
I recommend the osprey farpoint 40 litre. It's built to last, very comfortable, fits as airline carry on but I can also fit a full hiking/camping set up in it and the bag remains balanced and not hard to carry on your back. It's great.
I recommend it as well but it is not part of this sale.
oh haha. should have looked. the 60 litre plus range is quite a large pack, i would get 40 litre unless you plan on doing some serious backpacking/long term hiking. you can fit a lot in those, no point getting a bag too big for your needs.
I've had my Osprey Aether 85 for about 10 years and it has served me well on many international and hiking trips. I feel like I should update, although there is nothing obviously wrong with my current one… can someone convince me I should update anyway?
Hard to justify if there are no significant signs of wear and tear. My 70L version is about the same age, but I dont see any significant changes in design.
That said, packs don't last for ever, and the last thing anyone wants is a significant failure whilst on holiday.
Thanks op!
Has anyone ordered and not received a confirmation email from Paddy Pallin? Ordered the talon 22 a while back now and got no email except that payment was taken from PayPal.
Yep same. Tried to order via credit card through their website and just got a blank page and no confirmation email. Paid through Paypal and got a payment email from them but still no confirmation…
Edit: called them up and they said they will sort it out. Order details went through with Paypal, so they have delivery address etc, but they're having some issues with their website. I had pending transactions on my credit card for the other orders (which they are going to refund), so give them a call if you had similar issues.
I bought Talon 22. I hope it is better than Syncro 20 which they did not have.
Price on title pls
