I absolutely love the size and versatility of this pack – I just might need to trade in my beloved Black Diamond Bullet for this pack. I am a big fan of hipbelt pockets and this pack has two. You can easily use and stash your camera without having to take your pack on and off.
One important thing to note though is that these small (15-22 liter packs) are not great for hauling huge loads. The Osprey Talon 22 is only recommended for load sizes of about 20 pounds or less. If you want a daypack designed to carry a bit more gear take a look at the Osprey Atos.
