Lightweight multi-day hiking
Perhaps our most versatile series of packs, the Kestrels are light, clean and highly functional – the elusive quiver-of-one packs that do it all. We’ve updated the pack and looks to be sleeker, without losing the lines that give them that classic appeal.
Updated in 2012, the Kestrel Series provide great looking, forward-thinking design in a multi-use technical pack. Designed for the outdoor enthusiast looking for a “quiver-of-one” these packs offer all the features needed for everything from a long trek to quick peak assault.
A new addition to the Kestrel Series, the Kestrel 58 is a great pack for weekend or longer trips. Two torso sizes and and a torso height adjustable harness keep fitting easy while our an AirScape™ backpanel with LightWire™ framing provide excellent comfort.

Sizing and Fitting of your OSPREY pack
Getting the pack that's right for you!
Fit is the key to pack performance. Take the time to get it right. If you're buying from our online store measure yourself carefully and don't hesitate to email or call customer service if you have questions. Once you have selected the pack model that meets your needs, you will need to choose the right size.
Step 1 - Pack Sizing
Most of our Opsrey packsvare available in multiple sizes to fit a range of torso lengths. To find your torso length, have a friend measure your back along the spine (as shown in the illustration) from the level of your iliac crest (the top of your hipbones) to your C7 (the knobby bone at the base of your neck).
Step 2 - Hipbelt Sizing
To determine your size measure around your hips, not your waist. A properly fitted hipbelt rides centered over the hipbones and needs to be very snug; after all it will be carrying the bulk of the pack's weight. The padded portion should wrap well around your hips, leaving a gap of 3 to 6 inches between the tips of the pads when securely tightened.
Use the charts below for different osprey models to determine your pack and sizes.
