Description

If you need a pack that can handle scraping through sandstone canyons, scrambling up snow-covered peaks, or hauling your gear for a day of trail work, the Kestrel can manage all that and more. For quick overnights or big days out, the Kestrel 48 is made to haul heavy gear through challenging environments. It wouldn't be an Osprey without adjustable torso lengths to help you dial in your perfect fit and an AirScape backpanel to provide ventilation, whether you're working hard or hardly working. The integrated raincover can be deployed at the first sign of precipitation, Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole carry allows you to stash your poles when bushwhacking or scrambling, and side-zip main compartment access means you don't have to dump everything on the trail to grab what you accidentally packed in the bottom of your pack. Built with rugged nylon fabrics and meets Osprey's quality standards. Back by our All Mighty Guarantee, forever.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Kestrel 48
Size: Medium/Large Color: Picholine Green

The kestrel 48 is an amazing backpack especially for the money. I have an older one I've used pretty extensively and it's been great. Was going to buy another for a family member on Amazon but it turned out to be too much for what they needed. I also have a talon 44 and the kestrel has thicker more comfortable shoulder and waist pads and a tougher outer material. Love the daisy chain attachments since when the pack is compressed down its impossible to add or remove a rain jacket in the front shove-it pocket. Side elastic pockets are easier to access than the talon when packed. Built in (bright green) rain cover is a nice addition also(see 2nd picture). I love the side pocket and the side access for main compartment, I had no idea how much I'd actually use them but I use them a ton. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hiking and Traveling Backpack
Size: Small/Medium Color: Black
Review Image by Luis Quijano Luis Quijano
Well I got this pack after allot of research and comparing it to the Rook 50 but ultimately picked this one. First the size is like the max size for carry-on bags so if you goal is to use it for traveling go forth. I was a bit skeptical the first time but it went flawlessly in the carry-on bin while traveling with Delta, United and American just don’t fill it to the brim of it when going with American as they did make me measure it and it fit by a feather inch. For hiking its super comfortable and it’s big enough for a weekend trip, haven’t tried it for longer since where I live (Puerto Rico) there aren’t trails for that amount of days but I’m sure it would be perfect. Super well made as always with osprey packs. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars El ajuste por altura es quizás el único detalle que no hace que tenga cinco estrellas.
Size: Medium/Large Color: Loch Blue
Se recibió antes de tiempo programado, al ser enviada a mi país la empresa se pasó al cobrar un valor casi del producto. Una excelente mochila para dos o tres días. Aunque si se lleva la tienda por fuera tiene suficiente espacio. El sistema de apoyo lumbar es muy bueno, y distribuye bien el peso.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars He loved it
Size: Medium/Large Color: Loch Blue
My son is 6'3 and very thin but it could fit a bigger person . Well made and I am sure he will get a lot of use out of it. The only problem I have is the environmental issue and non toxic super healthy lifestyle they promote however the packs are all coated in formaldehyde . The warning I was shown ir is there was not in the bullet points of the amazing features. I went to their web site and it did not jump out there either that they coated it in formaldehyde in order to make it last longer. They scream how non toxic they are. Videos and great pics. Even with a tiny warning which they should own as loudly as they do the many great things their products offer. I called the company and was given a comforting response. She said no worries it will wash off and if he wears long sleeves he'll be fine. My response "bless her heart". I know from researching they are great bags especially for the money. And probably safer than most other packs. However it would benefit Osprey to give their employees a script instead of having them come up with something that was more unsettling it goes on to my son and into whatever it lands on. As a company that does so much to make a quality product spend a little more and make it a safer product. Any risk of cancer you add to my son's life is not okay. Formaldehyde? Chitosan Is an alternative it is even used in food products. ... show more

This is a pretty large backpack! Lots of space for storage. Common sense pockets to access things on the go without stopping and taking your pack off. It sits very comfortably!

Water bottle holders, including the horizontal ones, are very difficult to access. This wouldn't be a big deal, since most packs' water bottle holders are inaccessible, if I didn't buy primarily because of that lol. Quality and features are great though and I can't complain in regard to those.
