Carried this pack for a few hundred miles. Its a great pack but it is on the heavy side. It will carry a 45 lb load depending on what your comfort level is. Durability is solid and all packets are good. The stretch pouch is the best. I carried a full 7 day bear vault inside with a double wall tent and full compliment of winter gear. It all fit inside the pack with some creative...

I've been looking at Osprey packs for a while now but did not have the scratch to buy one till I found out about Campsaver!! I was able to afford the Kestrel 48 in my size M/L and when I got it, I immediately packed it with my sleeping and cooking gear and fiddled around with it till I got the perfect pack and I was able to adjust the hip belt, shoulder straps and load lifters ...

I own at least 5 backpacks from elite brands. Three of them are Osprey. This one is the best. Numerous lash on points (back and top). The side pockets are huge and genius in design. Great belt and back ventilation. This pack beats $250 ones in my opinion.

I got this pack when it was on sale and there was only one size available at the time, so i had to get it. I am an in-between torso length size based off their sizing chart, but once I got the pack I noticed that I probably should have went with the smaller size. But this is a great pack, a lot of pockets and space to put your equipment. I definitely recommend this bag.
