"Works nicely with my Osprey Talon 22 and my Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L."

"My trusty Osprey Talon 22 has a great hip belt and here's a couple of extra advantages you might not have thought of: 1) the hip belt has two side pockets which are great for carrying small amounts of stuff, and are easily accessible."

"It makes a massive difference on long hikes to have the hip belt."
