Osprey - Kestrel 38 Rucksack
Details

Product Code 62110594

The Kestrel 38 is a fantastic all-round daypack for climbers, walkers, mountaineers and, for lovers of ultralight kit, a great overnight pack too.

With enough space to swallow spare clothing, food, drink, and the rest of your hill essentials (and maybe some of your family's extras too), the Kestrel 38's well positioned compression straps also allow you to cinch it in when you're carrying a lighter load. A large main compartment, pocket in the lid and zipped entry at the base is a layout normally found on much larger bags but is just as useful on a big daypack: keep your kit well organised but get down to the bottom without having to unpack first!

Ideal for long days out & overnight walks. Reviewed By Dai, 27 Feb 2013

My Lowe Alpine 45 litre daysack has finally come to the end of an honourable live, and after much searching & testing I've replaced it with the Kestrel 38 litre. I thought that I would have problems finding a bag with enough pockets & stash places to match my last bag - this bag has as many, plus a few extra. The Kestral 38 is light, fits snugly on my back (after a little adjustment), and is comfortable enough to take on day-long walks. (I haven't yet tried it on overnight walks, I'm waiting until the weather gets a bit warmer!) I particularly like the bottom access zip - most of the other bags I looked at that are this size don't have one. I would prefer a brighter colour (one that makes me more easy to be seen/found in case of problems when out on the hills), but otherwise I can't find any faults with this bag.

Kestrel Rucksack Reviewed By Jason, 22 Nov 2012

Very comfortable, with great adjustability. The 48 litre is only 1 inch wider and 1 inch deeper than the 38, with the same back length and you can get a lot more usable space for very little bulk penalty and by moving up to the 48 you also get the benefit of the additional side zips and extra hood pocket. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic light backpack or day sack. Reviewed By Isaac, 12 Aug 2012

The Osprey Kestrel 38 is a really well designed rucksack. It comes with all the features I found wanting in some other models - the Kestrel does not compromise.
For example, the compression system does not come down on top of the side pockets, which could limit their capacity. The stretchy mesh pockets themselves great for water bottles - I am able to whip my bottle out and replace it without having to stop and remove the bag.
The hip-belt is the most comfortable I have ever worn - it easily trumps that on my 65 litre bag, which bruises my hips. It also caters for the fact that I have high hips, despite being 6 foot tall. One slight niggle is that being very thin I have to have the belt as tight as it goes when I am wearing only a T-shirt, so for younger wearers it may not be suitable.
The hip pockets are roomy and easy to open/close. I have my waterproof trousers in one and camera in the other.
As for the attachment straps at the bottom, they comfortably hold my inflatable mat, at near full extension. This can be a great place for the mat to free up space inside the bag for your tent, if you don't want that under the hood.
I would strongly recommend this bag for lightweight backpacking and day expeditions. My other use for it has been climbing day trips. For this I can just chuck shoes, harness, waterproof, etc.., in and not need to worry about packing it tightly.
All in all, I have been hugely impressed with this bag.

Great practical sized bag. Reviewed By Charlotte, 18 May 2012

This rucsac is ideal for anyone wanting a day sac to also use to one night wild camping trips, with the ability to fit all the stuff you need for an overnight trip (if you pack lightly).
It has two ice axes loops and the on-the-go pole stow is very useful.
It is comfortable but not too rigid and therefore good for climbing or scrambling.
The bottom compartment is ideal for a sleeping bag or emergency warm clothing and the loops on the outside of this section mean that you can fit a sleeping mat to the outside.
One of my favourite things about this bag are the pockets on the waist strap - a good place to keep things like a camera and gloves and hat so they are accessible when you need them.
Although it is an expensive bag you get what you pay for and it certainly makes life a little easier out on the mountains.
