Osprey Kestrel 48 Men's Hiking Pack
The Osprey Kestrel 48 is a men's hiking pack for weekend tramps and demanding days on the trail. Durable nylon fabric handles regular use, while its LightWire™ frame and adjustable AirScape™ backpanel support a steady, close-fitting carry. A side zip makes it easier to reach gear packed deep inside.
Built for the trail
