Review on Osprey Packs Kestrel Backpack Medium by Alex Pollard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy backpack for short trips

I took this backpack on my first trip to New York where it worked really well! I had a raincoat, a sleeping bag (camera lining), food and water. My only issue was that I couldn't easily access the camera without going into the compartment from the top. It's not really a problem because it's not a camera bag. Other than that, I didn't really have any issues with the package. I couldn't reach my water bottle because I was holding it upright and didn't know they had a side entry for bottles! All user errors are there! I recommend this backpack for people who want to carry lighter loads and do shorter night hikes.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
