Men's Kestrel 28
Reviewed by drwdog31, Apr 20, 2008

"I bought the Kestrel 28 (not the 48) pack for 2-4 day trips. I have three other backpacks that I have used for multi-day trips, but one is too big, one is to small and the other doesn't distribute weight to your hips very well.

I have taken the Kestrel 28 out twice and have had good experiences with it."
