Spacious and practical, providing a safe haven as you embark on longer trips Osprey Talon 11 (1-084) For its low weight – achieved by liberal use of light, high-strength fabrics – the Talon 11 swallows a remarkable amount of stuff in its Tardis-like 11-litre main compartment. Organisation is at a premium though: we missed dedicated tool space as well as the absent bladder (the water slot comfortably accommodates a three-litre bladder, though that’s an extra expense). I’ve also taken it on a few cycle rides in and around Bristol and found it is suitable for both trail and urban cycling. With the reflective graphics and light attachment, I feel confident that drivers and pedestrians will spot me and unlike other bags, I find it sits comfortably and doesn’t ride up while on the road.
