Osprey Kestrel 48L Men's Backpack, Atlas Blue, S/M

Osprey Kestrel 48L men's backpack for organised trail days

A 48L hiking backpack with an integrated raincover, trekking pole attachment and a close-to-body carry.

The Osprey Kestrel is a 48L men's backpack in Atlas Blue, sized S/M, made for bigger days on the trail when you need a pack that stays comfortable and keeps essentials close to hand. It combines easy-access organisation with a trekking pole attachment and an integrated raincover stored in a zippered pocket at the base of the pack.

The AirScape backpanel is designed for a stable, breathable, close-to-body carry, with updated adjustable torso lengths and a new injection-moulded framesheet. That makes the pack feel more controlled when the route gets technical, while still aiming to stay comfortable over longer walks.

Materials and weather protection

This pack uses bluesign approved fabrics and DWR treatments made without PFAS. The integrated raincover gives you extra protection when the weather turns, and stows away neatly in the base pocket when not needed.

Fit and use

Kestrel/Kyte is designed to provide a body-specific fit for better comfort and stability across body types. Osprey notes that packs designated as Men's are best suited to body types that are generally longer and broader than those designated as Women's.
