OSPREY Kestrel 48 Unisex Hiking Backpack - Moss Green

The Kestrel™ 48 is designed for hikers looking for a reliable pack that can withstand a wide variety of terrains, from sandstone canyons to alpine ridges. Its sturdy construction and bluesign®-certified fabrics ensure exceptional durability, even when carrying a heavy load. Thanks to its versatile capacity, it’s just as suitable for challenging day hikes as it is for multi-day trips requiring a full load of gear.

Stable, breathable, and perfectly controlled carrying

The AirScape™ back panel offers a new generation of comfort with adjustable torso lengths and an injection-molded frame plate that keeps the load close to the body. This system is also combined with a 3.5 mm LightWire perimeter frame to efficiently transfer weight to the hip belt. The ribbed foam covered in mesh ensures optimal ventilation, allowing you to keep going for a long time with consistent comfort, even when the trail gets technical.

Durable materials and a snug fit
