Comments about Osprey Kestrel 38 Backpack:
This is a great do it all pack. Great if you have a ton of stuff to carry to the crag, a night out on the trail with friends, or jet setting to another part of the world. It has a minimalistic amount of space for weekend/weeklong travel which I really like. It keeps me from carrying too much stuff in my pack. Normally I would suggest for people to carry 1/4 to a 1/3 of their weight max. Do not overload this pack -- it's not meant for a super heavy load. I would look at it's "comfort carrying zone" and try not to max it out.
You get a lot for the price compared to other brands.
