Osprey Kestrel 38

Kestrel 38 is synonymous with durability and versatility, appreciated by outdoor professionals and enthusiastic travelers alike. This hiking backpack with an optimal volume of 38 liters is designed to hold all the equipment for a demanding day hike or an adventurous long weekend. Thanks to the combination of top-loading and a practical side zipper, you have immediate access to the contents of the main compartment, which significantly facilitates organizing gear in the field.

Maximum carrying comfort is ensured by the innovative AirScape back panel. It features improved torso length adjustment and a new injection-molded frame, which provides exceptional stability and breathability even under full load. The LightWire peripheral frame effectively transfers weight to the padded hip belt, while mesh-covered foam ridges ensure the backpack fits perfectly on the back and allows for natural air ventilation.

This outdoor backpack is made of high-strength and sustainable nylon, which easily handles rough treatment in harsh conditions. The surface is treated with a water-repellent DWR finish without PFAS, and if you get caught in heavy rain, simply use the integrated raincover hidden in the bottom section. For technical sections, the backpack is equipped with the unique Stow-on-the-Go system for attaching trekking poles on the move, two ice axe loops, and durable daisy chain straps for attaching additional gear.

Storage space is thought out to the last detail. In addition to the main compartment, you can use the stretch front pocket for wet clothes, side mesh pockets for bottles, or practical zippered pockets directly on the hip belt. Inside the backpack, there is a special hydration reservoir sleeve with a Hydraclip for easy hanging. The bottom part of the backpack then offers a separate sleeping bag compartment with a floating divider and removable sleeping pad straps, making the Kestrel 38 the perfect partner for every expedition.
