Was soll ich sagen, einfach gut! Tragesystem ist sehr bequem, auch fr sehr lange und harte Wege. Wir haben mehrere Osprey Ruckscke in allen Gren und ich konnte noch nicht wirklich was negatives finden, auer vielleicht noch ne kleine Innentasche wre gut.
Die erste Bestellung kam leider nicht an. Nach einem netten Geschprch mit dem Kundendienst wurde mir ein weiterer gratis zugestellt. Die erste Bestellung ist nie angekommen. Die zweite kam dann schnell an.
Der Rucksack in schlichten schwarz passt zu jedem Outfit und ist optisch toll. Praktisch sind die vielen Taschen und die Mglichkeit eine Wasserblase mit Schlauch zu nutzen.
Nach ein paar Mal tragen passt sich der Hftgurt gut an und der Tragekomfort ist wirklich gut. Man hat viel Platz fr alles was man zum Wandern braucht.
Volle Kaufempfehlung!
Osprey siempre es referente de mochilas de buena calidad. Super cmoda y fcil de ajustar.
Gran bello zaino pieno di particolari ben fatti come ci si pu aspettare da Osprey, ottimo per uscite di 2-3 o per un giro pi lungo con dotazione minimal. Se si vuole trovare un punto debole potrebbe essere nei materiali che sono un po’ delicati ma ovviamente non si pu avere lo zaino robusto e leggero allo stesso tempo. Superconsigliato.
Ich hatte noch nie einen so genialen Rucksack: nur beim Aufziehen sprt man das Gewicht (wenn er voll beladen ist) – so bald man die Gurte eingestellt / angezogen hat und man 10 min. unterwegs ist, ist die Last vergessen. Keine Druckstellen, er schmiegt sich regelrecht an den Krper. Auch nach langen Touren traten bei mir keinerlei Beschwerden auf. Klare Kaufempfehlung !!! Meine Frau hat den Osprey Sirrus 36 gekauft – sie ist genauso begeistert wie ich von ihrem Osprey-Rucksack.
First off, Osprey bags are phenomenal, I own 4. I have Kestrel 48 for thru hiking.
I bought this Kestrel 38 for shorter hikes or day hikes and I feel that this size is perfect for that,
REAL LIFE SIZING:
I am a 5’7″ male, I’m not thin. I weigh 189lbs, 43″ around chest at nipple level, 43′ around at belly button level, 20″ from C7 vertebra to lumbar.
With that being said S/M was too small.
Exchanged for M/L.
If you feel like an average sized person as I do… M/L is for you.
TIP>>> If you bought on Amazon and need to exchange, call Back Country directly to do the exchange, this way you’ll avoid a $6.99 Amazon label fee.
Not being able to lock the chest strap into place is a pain… but not a deal breaker IMHO.
Replacing an Osprey 38 Exos. The Exos was great..2 Camino Santiagos, but the Kestrel has more room, built in rain cover and wider straps and padding. The slight weight difference is not significant. Will use this one for my next Camino Primitive. As almost 78, the extra padding is most welcome.
I have 58lt for same model, need to have smaller version, it’s just perfect!
Happy with everything but price!
So pleased with this purchase,
Did loads of research and found this is perfect for me as I plan my Camino.
Light weight, loads of very useful features and so comfortable.
Highly recommended.
Ottimo per trekking ,robusto e capiente , per essendo molto leggero…
Espacio suficiente para llevar lo necesario para un trekking de fin de semana, muy cmoda, buen apoyo lumbar, muy fcil de ajustar a la espalda y hombros.
un vero zaino da montagna. Non il top ma di buona fattura. Comodissima la fascia addominale per scaricare il peso dello zaino. Consigliato.
I use mine as a day sack & find it has all the features I need with only the ice axe loops never used. Through experience & an abundance of caution I tend to end up being the grown up in most walking groups, so often carry the survival basics of torch, first aid kit, spare food, brew kit & bothy bag etc. Obviously I tailor what I carry depending on conditions & itinerary and a big plus with this rucksack is if I’m packing light, or have all my foul weather gear on, the bag retains its shape & doesn’t slop around like a bag of wet lettuce. It remains the most comfortable daysack I’ve ever used.
I won’t re-list all the features, but here’s some of possible interest:
* I use 3-section telescopic walking poles and these stow neatly & safely on the sides, baskets/points up, handles in the mesh pockets & held in place with the compression straps.
* The mesh pockets also hold two small first aid kit pouches for easy access plus sweety wrappers securely until I get home.
* I vary between a Platypus bladder & water bottle/s (sometimes plus a filter) & am really pleased that not only will this work with both options, but the bladder is not in with my other kit & in own section. If it leaks (which for no apparent reason it started to do while in a different expedition sack this year,) my gear won’t get drenched, which has been a concern since I started using them 10-15 years ago.
* A piece of sealed cell foam I use as a sit mat stows nicely in the stretch front pocket if cut to shape. That also protects the OS map I stow there, as a map case flapping round my neck is not how I roll.
* The hip pockets are plenty big enough for Snickers (other snacks are available), compass, buff, hand sanitiser, whistle, tissues, gum, chap stick etc. Lifesaver since I mostly walk in Ron Hills, so no pockets.
The only additions I’ve made are:
* Reading/Sunglasses zip case threaded on to one shoulder strap.
* Small pouch clipped to the chest strap for a smartphone, which also acts as camera & navigation aid of last resort when I can’t find my way out of the car park/village*. (* After 40 years of hill/walking by day & night, still the most challenging navigation moment.)
I’d buy one again, but this one’s wearing well & is so flexible I may not need to.
Well done Osprey.
Should note that I believe the small/medium is actually a 36L not 38 like the name infers, but you might want to double check with Osprey docs (I know it’s less…). Also, the 2018 model still has a side zipper. Or did when I bought it. Unless there’s a new revision I’d expect yours should too. Anyhow, great pack!
Mochila espectacular, calidad Osprey, atencin a los talles que son especficos, talle S-M es ms pequea (se queda en 36lts) dems detalles perfectos
La mochila es prctica y tiene el tamao que me gusta para hacer saldias largas de un da sin pernotaccin.
Puntos positivos:
Valoro que tenga un compartimiento para la bolsa de dormir aunque no la use.
Valora tambin las ataduras exteriores que pueden servir, por ejemplo, para llevar la carpa de playa u otros objetos relativamente voluminosos que ocuparan mucho espacio en el interior.
Muy buen detalle el de poner el compartimiento de la bolsa de agua en el exterior.
El sistema para poner los bastones sin necesidad de sacarse la mochila tambin es un ms.
Puntos negativos:
El sistema para que la espalda no transpire no funciona.
Sacar las botellas de agua sin sacarse la mochila es muy difcil si no imposible.
Conclusin:
Muy buena relacin calidad precio.
Bought to replace my 12 year old 38 kestrel
The new version is much improved with a few extra features plus much better hip belt and larger pouch on the back and better ventilation.
I suspect the capacity is a little bigger.
I find it more comfortable than the Osprey Talon tho a few ounces more. Not the lightest of packs but will outlast many others by a long way.
My only gripe is that the top pocket is messy. it’s huge and doesn’t snug down tightly to the top of the pack. This is because the inner mesh pocket for keys and a wallet in the way. So it ends up being a lot of wasted space hanging loosely atop your neatly, snug pack. Because that top pocket is so big and doesn’t snug down, unless you throw a raincoat or something in there too, anything you have in there will be very loose on the hike. I’m considering cutting the mesh divider out honestly.
But that design flaw is the same with every Osprey hiking pack, this one just seemed more prevalent due to the nature of the compact and efficient size of this pack.
L’unica cosa che manca un sistema “pensato” per il trasporto delle ciaspole (come il Ferrino finisterrae, che per non ha i passanti). Colore Rosso molto carino.
Il miglior zaino intorno ai 40 litri che abbia mai avuto. Pagato 90 euro.
Pas encore utilis sur de grandes randonnes mais correspond mes attentes. Le produit reflte la qualit de fabrication et est trs confortable (OSPREY oblige). Trs pratique avec ses nombreux rangements. La police KESTREL 38 n’est pas la mme que sur la photo mais “au vieux campeur” c’tait aussi la mme. Le produit tait beaucoup plus cher bien sur.
Satisfait de mon achat.
ho gi fatto diverse uscite di alpinismo/trekking e lo zaino fantastico. Caricato anche con le ciaspole e i ramponi lo zaino risulta leggero. Uno dei punti a suo favore che lo puoi regolare in base alla lunghezza della schiena. Stra- consigliato
Haven’t used on a hike yet but the bag is sturdy,well made with plenty of space with deep side pockets. Includes rain cover and a designated compartment for water bladder. Material seem though and strong. looking forward to using it soo
Ich habe den Rucksack hauptschlich im Winter fr Skitouren in Verwendung (oder bei lngeren Wanderungen im Sommer, wenn viel Volumen gefragt ist). Insgesamt bin ich mit Tragekomfort und Qualitt bisher (1 1/2 Jahre im Einsatz) sehr zufrieden.
Einziges Manko: ich verwende die Auentasche fr den Helm, und diese ist mir leider etwas zu klein. Der Skihelm passt nur mit sanfter Gewalt hinein (und solange der Rucksack fast leer ist). Hier wren 2cm mehr Stoff eine wesentliche Erleichterung.
Die Passform muss jeder fr sich selber feststellen – ansonsten absolute Kaufempfehlung!
Prodotto eccezionale per trekking. Robusto, comodo e spazioso. Dotato di tasche laterali elastiche per borraccia, lacci, asole per sacco a pelo o telo da camping, asole per bastoncini. Mi ha stupito. Consigliatissimo
– Top verarbeitet
– Super Material
– Gute Einteilung der Fcher
– Bequem
– Gut belftet
– Ausreichend Laschen zum befestigen von Karabinern, etc.
Sehr empfehlenswert. Ich wrde den Rcksack wieder kaufen.
Love it — perfect for a weekend camping or a week slack packing.
Did a 3 day 45 mile hike in smoky mountains. Great pack. Well balanced. Great access points. The integrated rain cover came in handy. The top pocket is larger than it appears. The trekking pole attachment was a great bonus. Have the Osprey Farpoint 40 also. Both great products.
ottimo zaino, materiali di qualit come lecito aspettarsi da osprey. Trovo molto utile l’apertura a zip laterale che permette di accedere allo scomparto principale dello zaino .Registrandosi sul sito di osprey europe si ha diritto alla
garanzia a vita, forse costa pi di altri zaino della stessa capienza ,ma secondo me questo il top per escursioni medio/brevi. consigliato
I used my Osprey Kestrel 38 for my 860 kilometre walk on the Camino de Santiago and beyond to the coast and it was ideal.
I was able to carry everything I needed for my month away. The rucksack is sturdy with great features.
I intend using it for a second walk of the Camino this year, pandemic permitting.
The bag is also fine for hiking here in the Scottish highlands and Islands.
Sure if you spend the money you can get a lighter bag but I’ll bet it wont last as long as the Kestrel.
– First, the new version DOES still include the vertical side access zipper into the main pocket (I’ve read elsewhere that it doesn’t).
– The zippers have been improved — with bigger pulls (that now you actually can get your finger thru!) and one size larger sliders on: sleeping bag compartment; main compartment side access; top outside pocket; both waist belt pockets.
– The two waist belt pockets, in addition to having the bigger zippers, have been redesigned. This has made them MUCH easier to open/close/access than with the previous version of the Kestrel — now the pockets open and close like budder!!
– Personally, I don’t like the new “daisy chain” attachment points on the front of the pack — I prefer those of the previous generation Kestrel. That said, the new design, along with the new “straightjacket” compression strap feature, will make it easier to carry things like snowshoes on the back of the pack.
– IMO they should not have changed the aux strap attachments on the top of the pack — those found on the previous Kestrel were much more useful in practice (the new ones are 90 degrees off).
– The front stash pocket is made of more durable material in the new version. The overall packbag material is different in the new version — but I don’t see it as being better or worse.
All in all, I think Osprey really got it right with the new generation of the Kestrel 38. Nice job, Osprey!!!
(Full disclosure — I’ve been a long-time Osprey fan, and have owned — and own — many of their packs.)
This is my fifth Osprey, in different sizes for differing purposes. The build quality is excellent and each one performs it’s purpose exceptionally well.
E’ un modello molto robusto, dalla forma molto essenziale, pi lungo che largo, in stile zaino da alpinismo. Lo trovo un modello molto versatile, puoi farci tranquillamente il trekking, anche lungo, ma anche in ferrata / alpinismo invernale (unica assenza, non ha il fascione lombare rimovibile) si trova a suo agio, visto il limitato ingombro laterale e la stabilit sulla schiena.
Nel catalogo Osprey, non un modello ultraleggero, ma invece pensato per l’uso intensivo e per la robustezza.Non ha la schiena “staccata”, come va molto di moda ora ma, avendo un altro zaino di quel tipo, lo preferisco, pi stabile e il peso pi tenuto dove deve essere, vicino al corpo, rendendolo meno dondolante.
Attenzione alla taglia! All’inizio pensavo fosse uno dei tanti errori di catalogo Amazon, invece ha proprio due taglie, anche a parit di litraggio.
Dovete misurare la distanza tra la base del collo (vertrebra C7) e l’osso iliaco (al centro, lungo la colonna).
S/M 40.5-51 cm
M/L 48-58.5 cm
Poi, possibile regolare l’altezza degli spallacci con un (robustissimo) velcro.
Ho avuto occasioni di confronto diretto con un Ferrino Finisterre, per certi versi molto simili:
Osprey vince per qualit dei materiali e ancor pi per la solidit delle cerniere (soprattutto quella di apertura nel fondo). Ha una forma pi azzeccata e uno schienale pi stabile e regolabile. Ha tasche pi azzeccate e il comodo sistema di aggancio bastoncini. Ha la possibilit di fissare sul davanti ramponi o ciaspole senza dover legare altre cinghie.
Ferrino ha spallacci decisamente pi imbottiti e pi morbidi, e lo schienale areato (secondo me si suda ugualmente, ma il peso risulta pi spostato in fuori e meno stabile) NON regolabile (n ha le taglie). Costa sensibilmente meno (con comunque una discreta qualit). E’ pi largo come zaino, cosa in certe situazioni pu risultare scomodo (ferrata es.).
Personalmente ritengo migliore l’Osprey e pi versatile. Valuterei il Ferrino per il prezzo e nel caso si facciano soltanto trekking lunghi senza imbrago.
Unici difetti del Kestrel: i colori sono tutti un po’ poco vivaci, e in montagna avrei preferito qualcosa di pi vistoso (che vuol dire facilit di avvistamento in caso di problemi). Le cinghie sul fondo restano un po’ a penzoloni se non usate.
Nel complesso, assolutamente consigliato!!!
Eccezionale! Sembra grande ma quando lo si indossa sembra avere un 25litri.
My brother loves this pack. He goes hiking for a few days at a time and finds that it carries all his gear. Keep in mind it is not an ultralight pack, but will suit your needs well.
Der Tragekomfort ist hervorragend, die umfangreichen Einstellmglichkeiten erlauben die perfekte Anpassung. Da ich meist viel Photoausrstung mitschleppe , war mir das besonders wichtig. Die Sttzflgel erfllen hier, im Gegensatz zu manch anderem Rucksack, den ich vorher probiert habe, ihre Aufgabe perfekt.
Platz bietet der Rucksack fr Tageswanderungen genug, Photoausrstung, Ersatzkleidung fr Wetterumschwnge, Verpflegung, alles pat bequem und ohne Stopfen rein. Die vielen Fcher und Tschchen an der Auenseite sind sehr ntzlich, wie auch die verschiedenen Kompressionsriemen, wenn der Rucksack nicht voll ist. Richtig gut gefllt mir das vergleichsweise riesige Deckelfach. Und das Hauptfach ist selbstverstndlich auch ber einen Reiverschlu von der Seite erreichbar, der ist nur zum Schutz gegen eindringendes Wasser gut verdeckt.
Unter dem Strich wird das wohl mein letzter Rucksack sein, wenn er nicht gerade vorzeitig verschlissen ist.
This is a fantastic bag. I absolutely love it. Well worth the expenses for the comfort and features.
The amount of attachments are great and the ease of storing walking sticks, can be used as a daysack or overnight camping.
A really well made pack. It is very adjustable and I find it comfortable even with heavy loads. It is a relatively heavy pack but seems very bombproof and I expect it will give me years of hard use.
