Osprey Packs Kestrel 38 Backpack, Jungle Green, Small/Medium
The versatile osprey kestrel 38 is designed to transport 30-40 pound loads anywhere you care to go. With a separate zippered sleeping bag compartment and external sleeping pad straps, it’s a fully functional overnight pack. Or cinch down the straightjacket side compression straps and take it out for a day of canyoning in Utah’s San Rafael swell. Whatever you put inside, osprey’s light wire frame transfers the load to a comfortable spacer mesh harness and hip belt. This innovative suspension system ensures all-day carrying comfort, especially in warm conditions when the airscape mesh pack panel comes into play. When it comes time to unpack, the main compartment has top loading or side zip access providing multiple portals to get at your gear without struggle. Other storage features include top-lid and under-lid zippered pockets, side and front stretch mesh pockets, and two zippered hip belt pockets. Along with the extensive pockets, there are dual front daisy chains and web attachment points on the top lid for anchoring gear to the exterior. Other useful features include an external hydration sleeve, tuck-away ice tool loops, and osprey’s stow-on-the-go trekking pole attachments. The entire pack can be shielded from the elements by deploying the integrated rain cover.

Perfect pack for 40 days This pack was used for a 40-day European backpacking trip. I cannot say enough about this pack. It worked perfectly for my wife (female Kyte version) and I. I’m 6′, 185lbs, and I used the S/M frame, which fit well. The pack has great adjustability, the perfect amount of pockets, and is comfortable. Fully loaded, the longest we had our packs on was for 10 miles through Kraków, Poland. We used the rain fly in a downpour, and our gear stayed dry. One pair of shoes (11) and one pair of sandals fit…
Great pack, good for overnight hikes or weekend outings
Super happy with this pack
