Excellent pack!  I take this while cycling all the time now.  The pockets hold all my extra gear, including a light snack for longer rides when I need it, as well as spare tubes, etc in case of a flat.  Its very comfortable for the ride as well.

I adore this pack!  Use it for bikepacking, summer day hikes, and a summit pack for base camp trips.  It's been put through the ringer and withstood everything.  No real complaints.

I was torn between the medium size pack and large size, but I measured my bike and decided to go large.  VERY happy I did as the large is just barely enough space to take care of my bicycle pump, tire repair kit, keys/wallet, and thin sweater.  I ride early in the morning so I have to have an extra layer, and this pack makes it easy to store the sweater away and forget about it.  I used to wear a backpack, but I hated sweating extra in one spot.  If you experience this same issue then I highly suggest going with this triangle bag, and going with the large size (measure your bike first).  I am still able to have a water bottle holder as well which is very convenient.

LOVE this pack! It's the perfect pack for any outdoors activity big or small. This pack fits so comfortably, and carries  a large amount of gear without feeling bulky or heavy on my back. Fitting both me as well as my husband equally as well with the many adjustment points. I especially like the blackout color scheme and how durable and well  thought out this pack is. So many added features including easy access cargo area, pockets  straps and daisy chain loops to tether additional gear! The Talus is a SOLID PACK!

After searching for just the right pack for a daily commute by bicycle (12 miles one way) I took a chance on this one. I live in Southern California which like any desert can get cold at night/morning and hot as hell during the day. We don't get much rain so the only experience I have is riding for about 15 minutes in light rain, everything was dry in the pack and it was wet on the outside.
I didn't need another CamelBak or something more than 10" to 12" wide. There are quite a few bicycle backpacks out there but they all seem geared toward laptops and larger cargo than just lunch, a couple warm up garments and basic bicycle tools/supplies or they are too expensive for this simple task. I've been using this one everyday a little over 2 weeks now and it's absolutely perfect.
Initial reaction upon opening the box and feeling the material and the odd crinkle sounds the vented areas make, was its kind of cheesy. I can say the material and construction are not as robust as my CamelBak, but I don't see it failing unless I crash and land on it or abuse it by overstuffing and trying to zip it closed. My shoulders fill out an XL shirt and this pack fits me comfortably riding 12 to 24 miles a day. The cooling material on the back and straps is effective. It is very light weight. The built in mesh cargo net that is designed to hold a helmet works perfectly to hold a light windbreaker, rain shell or a 32oz container. The nasty white looking trim in the picture is actually a totally non offensive grey color, and it is a super bright reflective material that adds a measure of safety if you ride at night.

The pack has three compartments and this how I stuff it every day, which is pretty much to its full capacity.

1. Small Compartment
Spare 700c Tube
Co2 Inflator with 4 refills
Tire lever
Bicycle Multi-tool
Small front and rear bicycle light
Wallet, comb, keys, folding knife
Random hand sized snack item
Hydration tablets

2. Medium Compartment
Gloves
Long sleeve 32 degrees heat thermal
Beanie
Bicycle Tire Pump

3. Large Compartment

Lunch in a Rubbermaid 1.3L container that fits PERFECT inside the pack and leaves about 8 inches to add a drink or snack items, it also perfectly squares up the pack where it meets your back making it stable and comfortable.

I would recommend this pack to anyone looking for something inexpensive, small and light without a bladder in a plain color scheme to haul their lunch and a few absolute necessity items.

I got this pack to start school again in January. I will be primarily commuting by bike everyday so wanted a pack that will meet all of my needs. I will update the review on this pack in a few months after it has had some rain use and such on it but so far I love it. It is extremely well made and there is tons of room in it. i love the hide away rain cover for those unexpected storms. The slot for tablet and laptop are perfect for someone needing to carry their electronics safely. This is my first osprey pack but I will be looking at more of their products for other activities I am interested in.

I have hiked over a 100 miles with this pack both with a plate carrier on in Southern California and with no plate carrier in Northern California.  In both environments this pack is hands down one of the best packs I have ever used. Through sand storms to a snow storm and with various weights this pack has superseded my expectations. The more use this pack got the more comfortable it became. I highly recommend this pack!

Excellent pack. I purchased to replace my OGIO that I used for work. The external MOLLE set up is a nice feature and I have many things clipped to it and/or hanging from it. I haven't had the chance to test it in the woods yet, as it is only occupying the job of my work bag for now.

The pack seems to be of very high quality, the internal pouches and pockets are nice and the size is just right. It took some playing with the shoulder straps to get them to work for me, but I am a bit taller than the average person at 6'2". Also, a small issue seems to be putting the pack on, it isn't uncommon to accidentally loosen one of the straps and throws off the balance from each side. Easy to fix by readjusting, but it does get tedious when in a hurry.

Would highly recommend.

I've used different brands of hydration bags for running/cycling & this is the best by far. Almost no bounce on the pack whilst trail running & bombing down the slopes. Lots of storage space in the pack for whatever gear you'll need during your adventures. Super comfy & cool on runs even in hot & humid weather. Been using it for 2mths now with no chafing on my shoulders. Chest straps are excellent. I only have 2 gripes.

1) Capacity of the hydration bag would be perfect if it were 2L capacity instead of 1.5L.

2) Having the bite valve/tube come under the arm is great but it tends to flap around dangerously near my face/eye during runs. (had to improvise a way to secure it before I maim myself)

Overall I would purchase this pack again if I had to.

I am a road cyclist who rides all year long. Fortunately Central Texas doesn't have really cold winters. The challenge, though,  is choosing the right amount of clothing when I start out.  Often I have to stop to take off a layer or add one.  Sometimes my jersey pockets aren't big enough for extra clothing. I bought this pack so I could bring a rain jacket or vest without maxing out my pockets. I think it's perfect for that. The quality is quite high and the pack is well made.

The Amazon page doesn't list it but there's a pouch for a water bladder including a hanger and outlets for the hose are either side. I'm not certain what size bladder will fit. Probably the 1 liter.

The pack ships directly from China. It came exactly two weeks after I ordered it. China Post did not provide any tracking info, but it arrived several days before the arriving date window.

I have used this pack for almost 3 years now, on weekly hikes so I feel I'm able to give a very accurate review for it.

The good thing about this pack is that is it such a great size for day hikes! It is a comfortable size for me, not to big, not too small. The two zippered pouches are very ample for snacks, tissues, phone, keys and small items.  The water bottle holder is very durable and with the string that wraps around the top of the bottle I've never lost my bottle. And that is saying a lot since I've fallen a few times while wearing this.

This pack is also incredibly durable!  everything has held up quite well; stitching, zippers, string.  It's all going strong for three years of hard use now!

The only down side to this is that the straps are VERY hard to adjust. The buckle makes it hard to slide the straps through. It takes a long time to get them to the right size.  I have to adjust size for between summer and winter clothing for it to fit snuggly and it takes quite a while.  If they would fix
this one issue it would be perfect.  I also feel that small triangles of foam where the strap meets the pack would be helpful.  If you load your pack to heavy the straps kind of cut into your hips.

This is an excellent daily rider pack for work or school; (FYI: this is NOT a travel pack). It has plenty of room in the main compartment for a laptop, field manuals, binders, files, books, etc...  and lots of little pockets for storage.  The headphone pouches are awesome!  My only complaints are: I wish the I.D. card holder had a clear face so it didn't need to be removed for inspection.  And I wish the main compartment could be secured easier with a small lock.

I love this top tube bag! It had been sitting on my top tube for four months during a current bike trip across North America, It is perfect for an iPod, my gloves and a candy or other essential small items. This pack is not waterproof. If it is looking rainy I can place any sensitive items in a ziplock bag. Very easy to attach and remove, the magnetic closing top is very convenient, it has yet to fade after months biking in deserts and shows no signs of wear after much use. I highly recommended this bicycle storage device! For photos of the top tube bag in use check out www.thfreelife.weebly.com

This pack is fantastic for mountain biking!

There are multiple straps to keep it in place while riding; so no annoying weight shift. I typically pack a small pump, 2x extra 29er inner tubes, a mini first aid kit, a multi-tool, snacks, trail map, patch kit, tire levers, chain breaker, chain power link, and my cell phone. The pack still has room for more items, like an extra layer.

The water capacity is an ample 3 liters; my rides typically cover 10 miles over 2.5 hours in Central Texas weather (90 deg F) and this pack has served me well. There is a padded compartment where the water bladder is stowed which provides insulation and makes the pack comfortable to wear even when packed full.

The chest strap has a convenient magnetic attachment point for the hydration tube's bite valve. The back panel allows for plenty of airflow and has the right amount of padding.

The pack is very durable. I took a nasty tumble and slid down a trail on my back for about 6 feet. The pack suffered no tears or damage - it gathered some mud but was no worse the wear.

Overall, I've been very impressed with the Raptor 6 and can't wait to take it out again on my next ride.

Picked up the 2015 Baltoro85 as an upgrade to my 20 year old Gregory Robson.  It arrived, so i checked it out.  Nice pockets, soft waist belt, durable looking straps and buckles.  i loaded it up with 65# (took my wife and 10yo daughter) and then headed out on a 50mi. 10day loop in the High Sierras.  In the past i would have carried the load well, but had heavy bruising and maybe a blister from the waist and shoulder belts.  Not this trip.  Super comfy load carry.  Love this pack!!  Its purdy light and carries a load very comfortable.  Includes a micro daypack/water carrier that you can take or leave, either way your water bladder has a hook to hang on.  Includes a rain cover that is light and convenient.  Only one 10 day trip so far, but its a keeper!  Bought mine off Campsaver with a  great price, but Amazon rules too!

I love this pack. It takes the weight off my back when hiking, instead of using my backpack. I carry everything I need for my dogs and me for my usual hour/ two hour hikes. Has lasted and performed well for almost a year. I bought a second for a friend because it is so great!

I absolutely love this pack!  I enjoy long trail runs (6-12 miles) and with this vest I am able to carry all my supplies securely without any bulky/bouncy weight.  I upgraded to water bottles with longer tubes so I can drink without stopping.  It's a must have if you like running long distances alone
