Through the woods and over the hills, you burn a lot of energy cross country skiing. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a lightweight pack to carry some extra snacks and water bottles? Colorado-based Osprey thought so, too, and designed the Talon 4 Backpack especially for Nordic skiers, runners and competitive walkers. This lumbar pack, made of sturdy nylon fabric, buckles comfortably around the waist with a fully adjustable buckle for getting the fit just right. The Osprey Talon 4 has two pockets with water bottles, a roomy main pocket to store sandwiches and granola bars, and two smaller zippered hip pockets for things like keys and cell phones. The 20-ounce water bottles, which come with your Talon 4, are held securely in place with compression straps, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out. You’ll find the Osprey Talon 4 Backpack is a useful little pouch for a multitude of activities and stays totally out of your way on the trail.
