i have owned the kestrel 48 for the past 3 years and love it, ended up giving it to my girlfriend so i upgraded to the 68. this pack is everything i loved about the 48 but with just more room.
the hipbelt pockets are large enough to hold camera/bars/knife without a problem. the outside hydration pocket works great and the built in rain cover is a must. just recently took this pack 5 days through zion and loved every minute of it. the adjustable torso really allows for almost a custom fit.
