When the weather takes a turn for the wetter, you absolutely need to keep your things dry, especially your sleeping bag! ( I slept in a wet sleeping bag in a cave in Pakistan once.

Cons of the Osprey Kestrel 48 In this way, the Kestrel shares some characteristics with the Aether in that they both have features that make walking more enjoyable. The top compartment is incredibly big, allowing you to keep your most important belongings close at hand at all times. The rain cover is conveniently positioned in its own compartment at the bottom of the Kestrel, making it easy to access when needed.

If you often go on overnight hiking trips, then you’ll love this feature. The sleeping bag compartment is at the very bottom of the bag and it’s pretty spacious– so much so that you can easily stuff a few other items inside it, apart from just the bag.You can evaluate your torso length at home with the help of Osprey’s very own Size & Fit article [3], and find the recommended size for your torso length according to chart below. Wide mouth access sleeping bag compartment is very large and separated from main compartment with a removable divider.
