The Talon 44 (2025) is a great size, able to support single to multi day trekking. Plenty of space for everything. Added zips at the bottom of the bag to access kit separately if it is buried within the bulk of the bag. The H20 system is great, with the new bladder clip being super easy to use. The exterior pockets are designed with Nalgene's in mind, the pockets do not become useless when the bag is full, an issue with many other bag companies. The exterior flex pocket is great fit those must reach items, and the waist pockets are a great size to hold essentials. The only down side is that the bag does not come with a rain cover. I purchased an osprey one separate and it is fantastic.

Generally Good, But Watch The Weight…
Used this bag for a three day hike in changeable conditions. It ended up on the heavy side and by day 3 the straps were really beginning to dig in. They feel less padded than something like the Kestrel and it really starts to show with a heavier pack.
