I have a few Camelbaks including a HAWG. When I ordered the HAWG I hoped that it would be big enough for day trips and a light overnighter or two. When it arrived I was a little dissappointed, especially after I filled the bladder and realized that it pushed out into the cargo area reducing its carrying capacity.
About a week ago I was looking for a new camelbak for my son to upgrade his 70oz Thermobak. When I happened across a Talon at a good price so I ordered it for me.
It arrived last friday and I must say I am very very impressed with this pack, especially for the price $74. This pack is the pefect size for my needs as a daypack and light overnighters. The quality is outstanding. The design is fantastic keeping the pack tight to the body. IMO some of the other CBs are too large and too thick which makes it easy to get too much weight out away from your center of gravity.
One of the things that I was very pleasantly surprised with was the formable internal frame. I removed it and shaped it to the curves in my spine and now it fits perfectly.
If you are looking for a small pack check out the Talon!
