Osprey Europe Men's Kestrel 48 Hiking Pack

Product Information

You can evaluate your torso length at home with the help of Osprey’s very own Size & Fit article [3], and find the recommended size for your torso length according to chart below. If you're planning extended camping trips (5+ days) with lots of long distances of walking it probably won't fill the bill due to its medium-large size and deficient suspension with heavy loads. Something else to think about regarding the price difference....the Talon 44 doesn't come with a raincover whereas the Kestrel 48 has an inbuilt one, so if you get the Talon you may need to buy one. With a weight of almost 3.4 pounds, it is far lighter than my Aether. And 48 litres is plenty for a long journey. In addition you can even add extra clothes and important equipment without any hesitation. There’s always some space in your osprey kestrel 48!

So, let’s do a Q&A type article and learn how the osprey kestrel 48 might be your perfect travel companion.

The Kestrel is also ready for winter duties with twin ice axe loops, an integrated and removable rain cover and multiple lashing points across the front that work well to secure crampons. Osprey Kestrel 48comes with 2 size options. The difference is in their height, therefore smaller size with shorter height offers 2 liters less volume at 46 Liters. The benefit of less stiffness is that it feels more comfortable and wraps your waist completely when walking shorter distances with lighter loads. Osprey’s lifetime warranty ( dubbed the All Mighty Guarantee!) is pretty unique in the industry and is definitely one of the best things about the Osprey brand.
