Osprey Kestrel 38L Durable Hiking Backpack for Men

Kestrel 38 Backpack

Tackle rugged adventures with the Kestrel 38 Backpack—your ultimate companion for demanding trails and extended expeditions. Designed for outdoor professionals and adventurers alike, this 38-liter pack combines durability with innovative design to conquer bushwhacks, scrambles, and technical terrain with ease.

Built to Endure Harsh Conditions
Constructed from bluesign®-approved 100% recycled nylon fabrics treated with DWR (durable water repellent) finishes free of PFAS, the Kestrel 38 withstands sandstone canyons and alpine bushwhacks while maintaining eco-conscious integrity. Its robust build includes reinforced bottom panels and high-tenacity materials to handle heavy loads and rough contact without compromising performance.

Engineered for Comfort & Control
The AirScape™ backpanel features a mesh-covered ridged foam design that adapts to your body’s contours, ensuring breathability even during intense activity. Paired with LightWire™ suspension technology, this system redistributes weight efficiently between harness and hipbelt for a stable carry from 20 to 35 pounds. The adjustable sternum strap with rescue whistle adds safety convenience, while SpacerMesh™ padding provides soft yet supportive contact points for all-day comfort.

Streamlined Organization & Versatility
Maximize efficiency with intuitive storage solutions: an integrated raincover (stored in a base zippered pocket), top lid pocket with key clip access, and front panel shove-it pocket for quick-grab essentials. Dual compression straps secure gear securely, while trekking pole attachments and ice tool loops keep your kit within reach. A zippered sleeping bag compartment with floating divider ensures organized packing for overnight trips.

Eco-Friendly & Trail-Ready
Crafted with sustainability in mind and weighing just 4.247 lbs (L/XL size), the Kestrel 38 balances technical excellence with environmental responsibility. Whether you’re summiting peaks or exploring remote trails, this pack delivers unmatched durability and adaptability—so you can focus on conquering your next adventure without compromise.
