An excellent robust and durable, spacious wild camping backpack 🏕
This backpack is excellent quality, the material is tough and durable, it won't get damaged easily it's like rhino skin but lightweight and won't be damaged by thorn bushes easily like other materials. The hood is very spacious, I can fit a lot of my wild camping essentials in the top hood compartment making them easily reached when needed. There are plenty of compression straps and pockets on this pack, it can be tightened down with straps and clips to keep it tight and close to my back , no sagging. The chest and waist clips are solid , sturdy , easily adjusted and to keep the weight well distributed. The shoulder straps are also wide and nicely padded for long treks, they don't dig into my shoulders and carry the weight well. There are also plenty of attachment points on this pack to store trekking poles or to attach a tent or roll mat, clip maps or drinks to them for easy reach, and also there room for a water bladder and it has a waterproof cover to cover the pack in the rain. The large apartment can be accessed from the top or bottom and can be separated if needed or you can have a smaller compartment at the bottom seperate if you want. The zips are excellent quality, the flow freely and don't snag , they are solid , durable zips. The back of the pack is breathable with tightened mesh and it's very padded against my back so it's good for air flow and comfort. This pack is one of the most well built backpacks out there , it's tough , rugged and spacious, it's the ideal wild camping backpack. I'd definitely recommend it. Solid. 🏕

Great bit of kit!
Excellent bag - very comfortable, even with weight in it. Highly recommend

Generally excellent.
Seems excellent but not used yet. Bought it for a man who does multi-day Scottish Highland backpacking treks fully loaded. He reckons it will be excellent but I'm not happy that it's black as sometimes one has to walk along the side of a road and obviously black makes one basically invisible to drivers in low light / visibility conditions. Yes I know one can put the rain cover over to brighten it, but I feel it's the one design flaw. Still 5*.

Tough, Practical, Comfortable
First time use of this was to carry my kit as I walked along the UK's North Downs Way long distance trail. It proved both robust - e.g. when thorny bushes "dragged" at it but did not scratch or snag the fabric - and comfortable. I particularly liked the way the back air circulation worked (the weather was hot) and the way, when you adjusted a strap, it stayed adjusted rather than gradually slipping out of place as I have had happen with other bags. The size is a true 38 litres and the layout of fittings and pockets is really practical/helpful. It is heavier than an - also very good - Rab bag that I looked at but I think, in time, the additional weight will be reflected in its durability. Overall, much better quality than many other similarly-priced bags I found on the high street so great value for money.

Comfy and light weight
Feels lovely to wear compared to my old hiking rucksack, the storage pockets are perfect for wild camping with side access and tent pole pocket. Game changer.

In vgl.met de osprey pro 30 liter die ik heb is deze kestrel echt slecht ontworpen.Backpanel is niet verstelbaar en zit verscholen onder een rits die niet open kan.dus je kiest bv.een small medium zoals ik en of je nu 16 of 21 inch meet tussen nek en heup ,instellen of finetunen gaat niet.Bovendien is deze kestrel niet uitgerust om de waterblaas tussen de buitenkant van de rugzak en het backpanel te bevestigen en moet je dus de waterblaas in de rugzak zelf stoppen.De small medium size is normaal 36 liter inhoud en geen 38 zoals bij de large versie en het betekent dat als je een waterzak van 2.5 liter bijvoorbeeld in de rugzak stopt nog eens 2.5 liter inhoud verliest,dat brengt de kestrel 38 liter naar een schamele 33.5 liter.

Prodotto sicuramente più costoso di altri, ma prezzo in parte giustificato. Lo zaino è pensato per l'utilizzo in escursioni di più giorni, con un discreto carico sulle spalle. Infatti il suo peso, di 1980g in versione S/M(cover pioggia inclusa) da 46l, non è adatto per il light/ultra light. Questo peso è dato principalmente dal tessuto (un 420D) ben più resistente di zaini più leggeri (e quindi più maltrattabile), e dallo schienale ben strutturato. Questo permette di caricare parecchio lo zaino (10-12kg) senza risultare scomodo. Parlando dello schienale: è regolabile in diverse altezze (sotto 1,80m di altezza consiglio la taglia S/M), così come gli spallacci e la fascia lombare, garantendo un'ottima personalizzazione che si traduce in un ottimo comfort durante l'utilizzo. Per quanto riguarda la traspirabilità non essendo uno schienale separato si difende come può, ma in ogni caso non risulta mai fastidioso e non si impregna di sudore, grazie alla rete che ci separa dal 'corpo' dello zaino. Tasche: - 2 sulla fascia lombare, abbastanza capienti per contenere qualche snack, telefono ed un pacchetto di fazzoletti. - 2 laterali in mesh con apertura sia verticale che laterale, ottime per contenere borracce. Utilizzando l'apertura laterale si riesce a tirare fuori la borraccia anche da soli senza togliere lo zaino ed è una cosa molto positiva! - 1 sulla parte frontale, esterna e sempre in mesh, di discreta capienza - 1 interna dove mettere la camelback (a differenza dei modelli di qualche anno fa quello nuovo ha la tasca interna e non più esterna) - 1 sul fondo che contiene la cover per la pioggia - 2 sulla parte superiore, una dalla parte esterna ed una dalla parte interna, molto capienti ed anche da riempite non vanno a togliere spazio dallo zaino. - 1 tasca con cerniera sulla parte laterale, non molto capiente ma utile per qualcosa di stretto e lungo (pali tenda, ciabatte ecc) Aperture: - 3 aperture per accedere allo zaino, la classica dall'alto, una con cerniera posta sul lato (utile a pieno carico anche per vedere dove abbiamo messo le cose), ed una inferiore che fa accedere ad uno scomparto separato per mettere sacco a pelo/materassino o tenda (quest'ultima è separata solo da un lembo di tessuto che volendo si può togliere per far diventare lo zaino a corpo unico). Fettucce: presenti un po' ovunque, queste però non sono staccabili e quindi se non si usano rimangono a penzolare. Infine sono presenti delle asole laterali per riporre bastoncini telescopici e/o piccozze. In conclusione un ottimo zaino, caro a prezzo pieno, ma che diventa un buon acquisto se si trova sui 160-170. La qualità percepita di tessuto, cuciture e cerniere è ottima, così come le funzioni 'accessorie'. Consigliato

I have gone on 3 camps with this pack. It packs easily and is super sturdy. The seems are much stronger compared to my friends North Face packs. I really enjoy the easy access on the front for grabbing things while camping. I have taken it on about 10miles of distance and the comfort far exceeds that of my old Kelty.

初めてのテント泊用に買いました。 寝袋類が底側に別パッキングできるのがすごく扱いやすく、サイドポケットも500mlのペットボトルサイズが出しやすい点が良かったです。 ショルダーも位置を変えられますし、背面も蒸れず、ヒップベルトの収納もスマホや行動食を入れるのに十分です。 10月のアルプスで1.8kg程度のテント泊装備と防寒着や自炊用の食料を入れましたが、まだ余裕ある程度です。また、合計15kg程度でしたが安定するので苦になりませんでした。 テント泊は一般的に60L〜というイメージや記事など見ますが、最近の小型化された道具類なら1泊2日の3シーズンなら十分だと思います。
