A good solution looking for a problem, March 21, 2010 By Sinjin "rlvaugh" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Osprey Kestrel 28 Mountaineering Backpack (Misc.) The Kestrel series are great packs with clever and useful features. The 28, however, has two problems that led me to exchange it for the new Manta 25 daypack: the Kestrel 28 is really only big enough for a day hike, but it is designed like a multi-day pack. By this I mean it has few access points (the only zippered pouch is behind the top of the pack (i.e., against the back of your head!)and the main compartment is very long and narrow with a drawstring opening that makes it difficult to get things in-and-out (acceptable if you're just hiking from campsite to campsite, but on day hikes I tend to access the pack quite often). The other problem also concerns the length of the pack -- it is very long and has no internal support, so it is essentially a big noodle. I have also read reviews indicating a painful fold develops in the lower back region if the pack isn't fully loaded. If you want a good daypack, look at the Manta series first. These have the innovative features of the... Read more

Best bag I've ever owned, April 9, 2011 Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Osprey Kestrel 28 Mountaineering Backpack (Sports) I was looking for a daypack, and I have a small frame. I needed something light, super-compressible, yet able to hold a full day's basic gear like extra clothing, food, lighting, and raingear. Throw in a hydration pack, and it's full up.
Highly recommended. It's durable, has a built-in raincover, and the Osprey hydration pack (1.5L) fits perfectly. I'll never want another small bag.
Also, it's fully adjustable. I was unsure about this at first, I didn't trust the funky velcro, but it's proven to be a solid feature.
I get asked about this bag ALL the time, and always recommend it. Be careful with the straps at the airport though, they have a habit of getting caught in the rolly things at the x-ray.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful OK; not great, August 5, 2011 Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Osprey Kestrel 28 Mountaineering Backpack (Misc.) Bottom line: I don't recommend this pack. Read on if you want details.
My favorite day pack finally gave up the ghost. I have an Osprey Talon 11 for mountain biking, which is the best bike pack I've ever owned (I've used a ton of day packs & bike packs over the years). It has good features and (remember this point) it easily accommodates a 100 oz. Camelbak bladder. After research & review I bought a Kestrel 28 for backcountry hiking and peak climbs. Have used it on 10 long day hikes so far (15 - 20 miles / day, usually above tree line). It's comfortable for long hikes, which is a plus. On balance, though, it has some features that offset the comfort. First, it's tough to get a 100 oz. Camelbak bladder into the hydration pack slot. Yes, I know Osprey sells a specially designed bladder for its packs, but I'm not impressed when a gear company expects you to buy everything from them, instead of making their gear compatible with other widely used components & systems. In order... Read more
