Already a bluesign PRODUCT, we raise the bar higher this season by introducing additional updated materials using recycled content.Our VerdictThe updated Tempest 26 continues to hit that sweet spot between low weight and excellent carry comfort. Weighing just 1018g, its ideal for day hikes, bikepacking, or lightweight overnights with compact gear. The new injection-moulded AirScape back panel adds structure without bulk, and the BioStretch harness and hipbelt flex naturally with your movement while keeping the load stable.The womens specific fit is excellent, with narrower shoulder straps, a shorter back length, and a contoured hipbelt that sits comfortably without digging in. The back length adjusts easily using a sliding buckle system, and the close fit remains breathable even on hot, high-output days.Storage is practical and streamlined: a wide top opening to the main compartment, a stretch front stash pocket, two fabric hipbelt pockets, and side mesh pockets for bottles or spare layers. I liked the Stow-on-the-Go pole attachment and the external hydration sleeve, though getting the bladder in and out can be a bit fiddly.My only real gripe is with the compression straps over the side pockets, which can restrict bottle access when fully tightened.The newly updated helmet carry bar is slimmer and now holds climbing helmets securely not just bike helmets making it far more versatile for mixed mountain use.A lightweight, womens-specific pack that moves naturally and comfortably across any terrain.- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor GearFeaturesTECHNICAL & FAST – Designed to be lightweight with a robust feature set for multi-sport use, this advanced pack is fine-tuned for fast movement in demanding environments.STABLE FIT & CARRY – With it’s close-to-body fit, gender-specific sizing and adjustable torso lengths, Talon/Tempest prioritizes superior fit for efficient and, ultimately, safer movement on the trails.Wide-mouth, bucket-style main compartment opening with internal zippered mesh pocket and key clipTop panel external zippered slash pocketLarge stretch mesh front panel pocketTuck-away ice ax attachment with bungee tie-offStow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachmentStretch mesh side pocketsExternal hydration reservoir sleeveEasy-access, expandable stretch mesh harness pocketDual-zippered fabric hipbelt pocketsAIRSCAPE BACKPANEL Injection-molded AirScape framesheet with die-cut foam provides a close-to-body stable fit while offering flexibility and ventilated airflow channels for active useMesh-covered foam lumbar for lightweight and comfortable contact surfacesBIOSTRETCH HARNESS – Integrated BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificingstability for dynamic body movementSpacermesh over die-cut foam provides breathable, comfortable contact surfaceHarness system easily adjusts to fit various torso lengthsAdjustable sternum strap with safety whistle buckleBIOSTRETCH HIPBELT – Seamless lumbar-to-hipbelt body wrap and BioStretch seams offer maximum flexibility without sacrificing stability for dynamic body movementSpacermesh over die-cut foam provides breathable, comfortable contact surface Crossbody ErgoPull hipbelt system to pull lumbar into bodySpecificationsWeighs: 1018gVolume: 150 IN 3 / 2.5 LDimensions: 7h x 10w x 3d in. | 17h x 26w x 8d cm.Material & ConstructionMAIN BODY FABRIC – bluesign approved 100% recycled 100D x 210D high-tenacity nylon w/ triple ripstop, DWR treatment made without PFASBOTTOM FABRIC – bluesign approved 100% recycled 420HD nylon packclo
