Osprey Europe Men's Kestrel 48 Hiking Pack

Product Information

But what guarantees that your things will be extra safe is that the zipper is cleverly hidden. I bet you didn’t even notice it at first glance! In this way, the Kestrel shares some characteristics with the Aether in that they both have features that make walking more enjoyable. The top compartment is incredibly big, allowing you to keep your most important belongings close at hand at all times. The rain cover is conveniently positioned in its own compartment at the bottom of the Kestrel, making it easy to access when needed. Wide mouth access sleeping bag compartment is very large and separated from main compartment with a removable divider. If you actually read all of this, then I think you owe yourself a little treat. How about an Osprey Kestrel 48?

The Osprey Kestrel 48 is a real workhorse piece of equipment that can cope with long days out, multi-day trips and lightweight world travel. The 48-litre size allows enough room for all your essentials without feeling like you've overloaded your equipment. With an extra 10 liters of storage space, you will be able to go on 3-4 day camping trips instead of 2-3 day camping trips with the Kestrel 38. Plus it is always better to have more room, and not need it than be struggling for space. The benefit of less stiffness is that it feels more comfortable and wraps your waist completely when walking shorter distances with lighter loads. Design and colorsare changed, and the famous Jungle green isn't available anymore! Instead, now they offer them in Picholine Green (which I think looks very pretty) in addition to other 3 colors. In short, Kestrel 48 would be a great match for weekend hiking & camping trips, although I'd also consider getting Stratos 50 [ read my review ].In a nutshell, the Kestrel 48 performed admirably in my rigorous testing. And to mark the occasion, I blow the high-pitched emergency whistle that is attached to my chest strap. It surely has advanced to the next round of the competition! Aiden’s favourite countries include India, Spain, Lebanon along with 195 others. His biggest travel achievements include pushing a shitty tuk-tuk into the Himalayas, leading a group trip to Pakistan and surviving many near death experiences.
