I’m 5’7 about 175 lbs. somewhat broader build. should i get the s/m or l/xl option?

You will want the L/XL version. I’m 175 also and plan on wearing it with a ski jacket and camelback inside. It is adjustable.

I was wondering what size pack would be best for me. i'm 5'6", 155lbs. 33" waist and the length from my c7 vertebra to iliac crest measures 18 1/2"?

I think you'll want the smaller version. I'm 5'-9" and 150 lbs and bought the smaller size. It can accommodate different waist sizes. The main difference between the sizes is the length and where the lap belt falls around your mid-section.

Is this the Talon 22, the listing is not clear, and there are two separate listings. Thanks

Yes this is the talon 22. I purchased the L/XL and it was 22L

Does osprey bladder work better? my aquamira 2l is so heavy it bends the flimsy plastic and makes opening the top compartment difficult

It works great! requires a little effort to get bladder in pack but worth it. Very functional bladder and backpack!
