Rating: rated 2.5 of 5 stars
Design: Internal Frame
Size: Medium
Number of Pockets: 5
Max. Load Carried: 20 lbs
Height of Owner: 5' 6"
Price Paid: $140

An above average pack for the world, but below average by Osprey standards. I don't know why anyone would continue to buy the Kestrel Series (or why Osprey still makes it). The Exos series is over a pound lighter, has more features, is more comfortable and has an infinitely better compression system.

This pack has been serving me for three years now.

This pack has been serving me for three years now. This is the best pack I ever tried. I'm sure this pack is well known to most of you here, but the beauty of this pack is comfort, balance, responsiveness and flexibility. Buy one and you would never regret it! I even carried my Bianchi road bike on my Kestrel to hike up to a bike shop to get it fixed but I was still comfortable even then. I feel I'm together with this pack whenever. One of the best buys in its class. But anyone who want to buy a pack MUST know how to wear a pack. Otherwise s/he would just complain without knowing how.... I personally think Osprey could charge more for this pack compared to similar packs on market.... shhhhhhh. Too cheap for what it offers! I don't work for Osprey....

This pack rocks! The materials are the most durable I've ever seen in a pack. The Kestrel is fully waterproof, and with the Vector System gives you options to get the type of accessories you need. This pack should perform well for many years.
