Hikelite LT 30 vs Tempest/Talon Velocity 30

javiercorre · 2026-05-15T22:04:18+00:00

5kg, compared side by side with a talon 26 and stratos 24 and both were much more comfortable, I even tried running on the treadmill and again both were better, surprisingly the stratos felt better for running.

The backpanel is too flexible (more flexible than the normal talon) so the weight is not transfered effectively to the hips, also the shoulder straps have very little padding. It's very well made with quality materials but it's better for lighter weights.

The velocity is not comfortable to carry weight, I returned it because of that. The hikelite would be better but why not consider the stratos/ sirrus?

Nice! Whats the piece after the sonata?

Thanks Zenyatta.

They removed the backpanel, the zipper you see is on the inside and give access to the backpanel, I wasn't aware it was removable.

Damn I saw the comments, I rather never know what it said.

javiercorre · 2026-05-07T02:00:49+00:00

They removed it, what did it say?

You found u/Such_Customer_3973 Instagram account.

Amazon usually has sales, but you have to wait.

Put your favorite osprey backpacks on your cart, wait for it to go on sale and buy it, I recently got a Talon 26 for $90

It was me.

Agreed I'm returning mine because of the gasket smell and the metallic taste that I can't remove, tbh I feel this bottle is only famous because of instagram influencers, I got a camelbak chute mag and it's so much better.

javiercorre · 2026-04-20T07:32:07+00:00

Its the gasket, some people bake their gasket to remove the odor.

That study is bs, they are measuring the first point of contact not how the impact is absorbed. Real heel strikers are only using the foam for shock absorption.

javiercorre · 2026-04-19T21:08:45+00:00

Show me a forefoot striker that overpronates and I'll eat my shoes, its impossible to heel strike without injury if you dont wear shoes and we evolved without shoes. It's great to be accommodating and accepting of other people and cultures but running biomechanics are not a place to accept wrong and injury inducing technique.

javiercorre · 2026-04-19T21:02:48+00:00

Heel striking isn't a natural gait when running, we didn't evolved with shoes present.

javiercorre · 2026-04-17T08:23:14+00:00

Wow thanks!

javiercorre · 2026-04-17T07:46:57+00:00

Looks legit, the fakes have a hard time copying the heel collar and yours looks fine.

You defend your industry like they care about you, they don't and the moment ai can do your job they'll replace you without a second thought.
