Osprey Kestrel 38 Hiking Bag Black || Maat: 38

Perfect size and comfort level for my upcoming hike

Just started getting into hiking, took this on a 3 dayer and it was great. Durable, lots of conveniences, plenty of space and you can make straps and hook anywhere. I really like the pick holding system, took me a day to figure it out but when I did it completed the package for me. Crossed the line of “this pack is sick”. Side zip is a big win as well. Couldn’t fit the B500 size bear can inside, strapped it to the top with some cord and added a cinch loop between and it stayed on the entire trip.

Tried a few different packs. This one won out: comfortable, easy to carry heavy loads, love the hip pockets (so useful!), and so much space. Love the small compartment at the bottom, too. Used it recently on the Camino and it held up extremely well.

Just what I was looking for. I needed a tube style pack for overnighters. Very similar to my Aether in back support but smaller. I actually bought this for longer Canyoneering hikes that weren’t to abusive. Hoping that my back will be happier with it over my canyon packs. Haven’t tried it yet but the overnight went well.

Very pleased with this backpack; haven’t used it as yet. Look forward to spring / summer for my hiking trips.
