unisex-adult Metron 24 Bike Commuter Backpack

Product Information

Happy travels friends! If you think we’ve missed anything off this Osprey Talon review then let us know.

The large compartment of the Radial is larger than the Metron even when it’s not expanded, and when you open the expansion zipper, the size nearly doubles. If you’re a commuter, it can fit an entire week’s worth of t-shirts and pants, or you can fit a lot of groceries on your way home.Osprey is well-known for making excellent quality bags, and the Radial and the Metron are no different.

This one has less foamy straps, so I hope that is not so much an issue anymore. Takes a few years of rainy bike trips before it develops "the smell" so I do not know yet.

The zips are good quality and really easy to do up and open thanks to the loops that are tied to them. They offer a water resistant seal too, just in case you get caught in a shower and forget (or can't be bothered) to stop and whip out the rain cover. Value It’s a bit small for long camping trips, but will hold up perfectly for 1-2 nights as it has a comfortable suspension system, hip straps for distributing weight properly, and durability to handle up to 30 pounds. The Talon series at Osprey comes in multiple sizes, and the 22-liter version is also quite popular. Osprey often has multiple sizes for their series, but it’s important to know that more often than not, different sizes also means different features. However, note that there are some exceptions to the All-Mighty Guarantee. They will not fix airline damage, accidental damage, hard use, wear & tear or damp related damage. Still, it’s a lot better than most guarantees on the market and has earned this bag extra point on our Osprey Talon 33 review.

The Metron 24 is about as feature-rich as they come, and offers brilliant practicality in a neat design. The tweaks to the waist band support and helmet holder have proven to be smart changes as far as I'm concerned. You also have an adjustable sternum strap with an emergency whistle in the front, which will make sure your should straps are in a comfortable position. You have made it to the end of my Osprey Talon 33 review, where I discussed the pros and cons to purchasing the Osprey Talon 33. The straps can also help you carry gear on the outside of your bag, like a tri-pod, waterbottle, or sleeping pad. The biggest complaint is that it is very streamlined (which in itself is good) and does not stand on its own when I place it on the floor. Very annoying. Falls over and onto the floor. Hard to place near a wall as it falls down flat. Mostly I hang it onto a hook when I can.

Osprey rain covers are top quality. I have used one in rainstorms and even a snowstorm, and my gear stayed dry. Finally, we deem this perfect for minimalist travelers. If you aren’t carrying a sleeping bag, tent, mess kit, food, etc. the Talon 33 is a great travel bag, as it is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to carry on any type of transportation.This bag was designed for the trails, so you will be more than prepared for any type of day hike, and you will have plenty of room to carry layers, food, and water. But while this bag is perfect for some people (including myself), it’s not as ideal for others… So to help you, I’ve put together this monster review of the Osprey Talon 33. When the going gets tough, bust out the METRON’s built-in rainfly. It’s located inside a helpfully labeled bottom compartment, complete with a drainage and ventilation hole. As mentioned earlier, it comes in a shade of green that helps drivers notice you in low-visibility environments like at night or during a heavy downpour. The rainfly is also removable if you need to wash it, use it for something else entirely, or leave it at home if you’ve mastered the art of predicting the weather. The rainfly’s bulk does take away a little room from the main compartment. Thus, removing the rainfly is a viable option if you absolutely need to squeeze every ounce of space from the METRON.
