REI Talus 30 Review

"Nice small size pack for dayhiking, climbing, snowshoeing, skiing. Lots of features like inside pockets, daisy chain, ice axe loops, side straps with quick- release buckles and back flaps for securing extra gear. Reasonable price and decent quality (good value); comfortable- has internal framesheet for support and lots of padding plus a hipbelt. My only complaint- I wish the shoulder strap height was adjustable and/or there were load-lifters on the shoulder straps. Other than that, I recommend it."

"I use this pack for ice/rock climbing, mountaineering (day trips) and hiking. A really versatile pack with many options. I especially like the low profile of the top, allowing unhindered head movement (useful while climbing, as one tends to often look up). Great pack, too bad they don't make it anymore."
