OSPREY Kestrel 48 L Backpack REVIEW | Small but Mighty!

- Hey Guys,
I review the Osprey Kestrel 48 L backpack. 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 can manage all that and more. For quick overnights or big days out, the Kestrel 48 is made to haul heavy gear 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 side-zip main compartment access means you don't have to dump everything on the trail to grab what you accidentally packed in the bottom of your pack. Built with rugged nylon fabrics and meets Osprey's quality standards.

I got a Kestrel 48 based on the completeness of this video. It's hard sometimes to differentiate between different Osprey packs of similar sizes--I was shopping between the Stratos 50, Talon 44, and Archeon 45. And one thing that you didn't mention is that the diaphragm between the main and sleeping bag compartments in the Kestrel 48 is removable, which isn't true for the Stratos 40, and a diaphragm doesn't exist in thr Talon 44. This was what made the decision for me between these Osprey packs.
Oh, and I pay attention to reviews of outdoor gear more when the review is done outdoors. Kudos on that.
Most Osprey have 2 ways to load your water bottle, top or Side. The Side load make it easier to get your water bottle when your walking 🙂
You did a review on this pack about a year or so ago, because I liked it so much I bought one. Dark green
Do you like it after using? How's it?
@@sarvesh316 I like it very much and would recommend for a light- med duty pack.
I have the kestrel 68 and its my favorite osprey design by far; so many features and great price point! Great pack series!
Did not know they made a 68L / decent size!
So i got this pack a year or so ago. It was between this and the 60. I went with the 48 to prevent over packing and its the best $180 ive ever spent. Its my hiking/bob and its fantastic
Little smaller than I'm used to but great pack with the right gear and packing strategy!
Nice review, Chris. I love my Ospray pack (Stratos 36)! Quite possibly the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. It's been great for both day trips and light overnight camping.
Good to hear!
I have a Arcterx 35 or 40L pack I use it for day, 2 -3 day climbs max and it will carry my stove cook gear, climbing gear, rope, tent, pads, ice tools or trekking poles, crampons etc. It's the best pack I have ever owned and hands down beats any other pack maker (I have had many back packs) .
Хорошая презентация)... У меня были разные размеры этой модели OSPREY KESTREL - 68 литров, 58 и 48 литров... Друзьям очень нравились OSPREY KESTREL и я им их дарил на день рождения)))... Себе я оставил рюкзак OSPREY KESTREL на 48 литров... Оптимально для моего современного легкого снаряжения... Сегодня мой автономный набор: палатка, спальник, 2 коврика, газовая горелка + котелок + клмн, терма костюм, чай, сублиматы и печенье, и т.д. вместе с рюкзаком OSPREY KESTREL 48 весит 8кг... Сегодня нейлон, титан и силикон позволяют путешественнику располагать компактным и легким снаряжением... Большие мешки сегодня не нужны)... 48 литров идеальный объём рюкзака.
Just came back from a 4 night/5 days hike with this pack! Bought it 2 years ago. It's very durable, I don't treat it particularly well yet it still looks brand new. But if you can shell out a bit more money I would recommend you the exos line.
Sounds like a good trip...48L is a bit small but sounds like you made it work. the right tent and sleeping bag would do it
Bought this and didn't know half of what I know now from your video... thanks
Glad I could help!
Chris you're the king of Osprey packs! If they're not sponsoring you at this point they should! I'm wondering how many of their packs you own?
Just bought one. I actually use hiking bags not for hiking but for my daily bike commute. For the Canadian climate these bags are so durable and comfortable
Awesome review, thank you sir I was looking for some serious backpack and this Osprey Kestrel looks amazing. I bought it today and I can´t wait for my 1st adventure with him.
Thats a good setup putting the chair on the strap. I was having qualms buying a chair because there's no room inside. I could do it like that.
My 1 lb Helinox fit perfectly...if you don't need to put a sleep pad there you hardly notice it.
Are these fat people friendly ? You mentioned the waist straps aren’t as long with the new designs so I’m curious.
Sometime checkout Mountain Warehouse gear and clothes. I have used a lot of it. It is good for the price.
Hi Chris…Which do you think is better and more comfortable, between the Osprey Kestrel 48 or the Osprey Stratos 50, in terms of features?
I like the Stratos a lot... but both have good features. If possible compare side by side and see what works best for you.
I just got my first backpack at REI tonight! It's the Kyte 46 which I think is the women's fit of the one in this video. I managed to cram all my stuff in there including a Bear Vault 450. I can't wait to get out and use it!
AWEsome Katie!
Nice review!!! I prefer my Stratos 50 although!!! Greetings from Greece!!
Good choice! Stratos is a good one! KP HKNG!
Thank you for the video, Chris. Greetings from Poland. ;)
Welcome! Keep Hiking!
Hey Chris, is there a way to promote your channel? With the type of videos you put out, you should have way more subscribers. Keep it up.
thanks Broadbirch...tell your friends and like / subscribe as they say!
Excellent review, I am looking for a good day pack a 48 L is a bit big, but will definitely shop the Osprey brand. Cheers and stay safe.
KP HKNG!
Hi Chris…..Osprey packs are still pretty much hard to beat…loving my winter 70L one and my light trail hike light 26…I have a fjallraven that’s somewhere in between that’s pretty blooming good….keep up the good content buddy 👍🏻
Good stuff! Thanks Alastair!
Truth is you can not beat a Osprey pack unless you are going UlL and want dynema ...other than that Osprey are so well made and thought out !!!!
They are so tough as well...I am hard on my Atmos 65 keep thinking I'm going to destroy it...it just keeps on going.
Love me some Osprey packs! Got the Rook 65 about 6 months ago and I really have enjoyed it backpacking up in the Sierras. Great review! Really enjoy your videos
Thanks Nate - Rook is very affordable...I may review that one next! Love the Sierra! Much to explore.
really helpful to choose proper backpack for me, thanks! 좋은 영상 감사합니다~
Great video mate. Really enjoyed it. Please could you record this video again but in a French accent please?
Thankyou.
I've recently purchased it's bigger brother the 58 as a GP travel hiking bag and I'm really liking it.
Sounds like a good size!
hi, how tall are you for size m/l?
Yep we can hear the velcro lol
Would this be a good pack for long summer hikes and Aswell as be spacious enough for winter day hikes
I've just noticed the name logo on the front of the backpack differs slightly from the one I have, the backpack in the video has the name in capital letters as well as the "airspace"in the back. Is this a different model therefore? mine has those names in small leters instead
What's your height and torso sizing? Wondering on the sizing here as i think i'm between medium/small and medium/large so it's throwing me off
It s not your backpack, dude you never saw it before shooting this video 😂
Se puede viajar en el avion con esta medida? con mi stratos de 36 si puedo pero ya me queda un poco chica
Keren
Any idea if this bag can be used as a handcarry for flights?
Might have to look into these!
KP HKNG!
Ive noticed that the font of the Kestrel 48 is a bit different than what I have.
Your review is really helpful, i’ve got my kyte48 which is so much related!
Kyte is for women😂😂
I agree with you the back is the back LOL
hey quick question, do you think that side pocket would hold the poles for a two-man tent? Just a basic REI two-man tent? Thank you!
I think it would ...there is the upper strap for it too. Try before buy if possible.
Is there a hose for the hydration pouch ?
Nice review, Chris - appreciate all the details 👌🏽
I have the same bug. Amazing one!
I love my Osprey.
Cool bag
Your green pack is much better I guess. Thanks
the extra 17L in the Atmos 65 gives me plenty of space and options.
Thanks for the video review. I just bought the same size and I was wondering if I can use it as a carry on on a plane. Thanks
Yes you can, I’ve done it
Good to know I’m looking for carry on also, thanks
Good review I have 38L Kestrel love it 48L would be nice
Oh thank you so much! KP HKNG!
Yoooo I'm early! And it's about a Kestrel 48!
A daypack from your top lid is the best.
