OSPREY Kestrel™ 38 Hiking Backpack - Moss Green

The Kestrel™ 38 backpack is designed for those who navigate narrow canyons, wind-swept ridges, and technical trails. Its rugged construction, combined with bluesign®-certified recycled materials, allows it to withstand the most abrasive terrain. Its 38-liter capacity is equally suited to demanding day trips and short, lightweight self-supported excursions.

Exemplary stability thanks to the AirScape™ back panel

The AirScape™ back panel ensures a reliable fit even when the trail gets rough. The injection-molded back plate, breathable ribbed foam, and adjustable torso lengths create a snug, stable, and ventilated fit. Additionally,the 3.5 mm LightWire perimeter frame efficiently distributes the load to the hip belt, while the Atilon plate spreads the weight across the entire structure for a smooth carry.

Easy access to gear all day long

Every outing requires organized storage and quick access, and the Kestrel perfectly meets this need. Its spacious top flap holds daily essentials, while the large, expandable utility pocket accommodates diapers, a jacket, or accessories. The separate sleeping bag compartment, compression straps, multi-purpose attachments, and Stow-on-the-Go system make it easy to manage gear on the move. And when the sky turns gray, the integrated rain cover, stored at the base, provides the necessary protection.

Long-lasting comfort for long, busy days

The padded, seamless mesh harness and waistbelt provide softness, support, and breathability. The adjustable chest strap, equipped with an emergency whistle, optimizes stability on the steepest slopes. With its balanced load capacity and precise fit, the backpack remains comfortable even when nearing its maximum capacity.
