Osprey Kestrel 68 Backpack S/M - Men's Backpacking (Black)

If you need a pack that can handle scraping through sandstone canyons, scrambling up snow-covered peaks, or hauling your gear for a day of trail work, the Kestrel 68 can manage all that and more. For extended overnights, the Kestrel’s close-to-body design and low-profile harness help you move efficiently through challenging environments.

It wouldn’t be an Osprey without adjustable torso lengths to help you dial in your perfect fit and an AirScape backpanel to provide ventilation, whether you’re working hard or hardly working. The integrated raincover can be deployed at the first sign of precipitation, Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole carry allows you to stash your poles when bushwhacking or scrambling, and a large front panel U-zip into the main compartment means you have easy access to all your gear at once without dumping it on the trail. Made from rugged nylon fabric, the Kestrel 68 is dependable and will give you confidence in the backcountry.

Built to withstand every outdoor environment, from sandstone canyons to alder-filled alpine bushwhacks.

For those heading out for a big day, whether an overnight backpacking trip or drainage-digging trail mission, the Kestrel/Kyte series has everyone covered with an integrated raincover, trekking pole attachments, and organization to keep everything where it belongs for easy access.

The AirScape backpanel offers adjustable torso lengths, while the spacermesh harness and hipbelt comfortably carry heavy loads, and a slim profile doesn’t get in the way of the task at hand.

3.5 mm LightWire peripheral frame effectively transfers the load from harness to hipbelt

Atilon framesheet spreads load across the entire backpanel to the peripheral frame

Mesh-covered ridged foam allows maximum ventilation while keeping the load close to the body

Soft edgeless padded mesh offers a soft breathable contact surface and large load support

Adjustable sternum strap with rescue whistle
