Why We Like The Osprey Kestrel 38L Backpack
Built for quick weekends or gear-heavy day treks, the Kestrel 38L Backpack is built to tackle whatever lies in our path. Sturdy nylon material withstands brush and rough rock, while Osprey's AirScape backpanel sits close to the body for a stable fit during nimble movement. Plenty of external attachment points keep our trekking poles, ice tools, and other gear at hand.

Great pack. Solid construction. I
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pack. Solid construction. I love that my back does t hardly sweat like it does with other packs due to the construction of the back materials. I’m impressed with Osprey quality. This is my first pack from this company and it looks to be the best quality materials and feels solid. I think this pack will last me a long time on many different adventures.

I like everything about it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like everything about it so far. It's been on a few wet, muddy adventures and it cleans up well. It has suited my needs well. The only issue for me is that the lunch cooler bag I already had is a tight fit so I'm going to have to replace it. I am a happy customer.
