Can someone tell me how long the Talon 44 Small and Medium packs are without their top pocket? Is it a good pack as a carryon on discount airlines?

If you're traveling spirit airlines and dont want to pay the carry on fee, this bag is too large. I've carried on this bag no problem on Delta and AA for no charge as it fits easily into the overhead bins because its squishy

Having done a fair amount of flying, I can tell you it would probably fit but it is too large to be considered a "carry on". If the pack was only half full and you were able to compress the bag then it might work.

Worked for me on US Airways and Delta very small planes where everyone with carry ons had to have them stowed under the plane. No one even asked us a question about the carriers and because they flex it was easy to put them under the seats. I've seen Southwests dimensions even on smaller planes and it shouldn't be a problem. Since flying with out 2 pugs earlier this year the experiences have been quite routine.

I am 5'8" and 185 lbs. I got the medium/large and it fits well. I assume the small/medium will work for you. This pack does not come with the rain cover, so I bought one at the time I got the Coyote 80. It is a very nice pack. I like it a lot! The only thing I wish it had was a separate top and bottom compartment. I hate digging for things on the bottom. BUT, for the price and all the other options on this pack, like large outside pockets, access to the inside from the front, and a large pocket on the front, it is the best pack I could have gotten myself. It is also extremely comfortable on the hips and shoulders. Hope this helps...Merry Christmas! HoHoHo! I am 5'8" and 185 lbs. I got the medium/large and it fits well.

Although I don't have this pack on order, being an Osprey dealer, I would be glad to order it for you. The sizing as you listed is correct, and is based on the length of your torso.. Thanks for thinking of us, and let us know if we can help.

Assault pack is considered a 3 day pack. Having said that it depends on what you pack; some people seem to thinf a 72 hour bag should hold whatever you MIGHT need ever! lol. I packed it for comparison against a blackhawk Titan hydration bag. held everything just fine. make sure you get (imho) the molle accessory pouch and the hydration system. wont have room for sleeping bag but you could carry poncho liner and a tarp. very nice system, better than the ilbe assault bag which was one step removed from a grocery bag

Funny thing...I'm actually out working a flight to Frankfurt...haven't any means to get you an exact answer, but I will/can tell you that it is extrememly light -- BUT STRONG. My best guess is that it doesn't weigh more than five pounds with its carry bag...somewhere between 3 and 5 pounds more than likely. I'm really sorry that I couldn't be more specific. I always strive for specificity. It's practically non-present in terms of carrying it around. If you're going to hike something like the Appalachian Trail for eight months, well, I suppose its weight would be considerable -- BUT WORTH IT. ...hope this helps. (Look at the Taylor GS-mini Mahogany...do this.) Good luck!

Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it. In fact, that's one of the things I like about it so much. You pack it to fit within the carry-on restrictions and then you have a little extra room for things that you purchase along the way. If you check out the 100's of reviews, you'll note that many talk about using it as a carry-on. Anytime you get over 100 reviews with the vast majority being 4 and 5 stars, you know you have a winner. I love mine (green) and my husband loves his (orange). I'm 5'4" and he's 5'10". Have a blast in Europe! Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it.

I carry it on all the time also..the only thing you have to be careful on small planes is not to pack the front pocket too full (but I am talking quite small planes).

I also carry Springfield XD, a smaller 45. I like the way it carries, much less noticeable, just a 'regular looking' pack. a couple smaller compartments that easily carry wallet keys ect. I personally would go for this pack over the smaller, not that packed tight look.

I bought 2 travel bags.. both are great.. the longest one has a niceloup for a hangar the short one does not have a loup.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside. *edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

I have personally carried this bag on flights a lot of times; for years I used it as my primary bag for international travel. There were a few times that it got flagged as too large, but most times I was allowed to carry it on. On some planes it was problematic trying to get it to fit anywhere. I recently downsized to the High Sierra Hawk 45 and have started traveling with it; so far the small difference in size has made all the difference. The Hawk 45 has not been flagged as too large, and it fit much more easily in overhead compartments.

The backpack, when filled, is small and would easily qualify as a carry on item on any airline. I use the backpack for bicycle riding in the northwest during the winter when it can rain at any moment. It keeps my stuff dry, no matter how bad the weather gets. Lastly, I intend to use this bag as a waterproof liner inside another small backpack to protect cameras, etc when I take an international trip later this year. I will be carrying it onto the airplane with me.

Under seat in a small plane? Probably not. I fly with my bag usually in the overhead bin on a large plane. Sometimes it will fit under the seat in front of me, but it extends a bit. If the flight attendants want it really under the seat, or if you're tall and need leg room, this doesn't work well. Sony had an excellent video where they showed the features, and a guy was packing it. I've had two of these type bags and LOVE this one. Compact, but well-designed. Water bottle pocket on the side is one of the unique features - and it may sound funny, but it's great. Dimensions: 12 x 9 (11 if you count the straps) x 19. I've also used a CaseLogic bag that I liked very much. Tried the Sony because of that water bottle pocket and the get-the-camera-out-of-the-side feature. The Sony is smaller, as well. Good luck in deciding. SJ
