Anyone have experience with an Osprey Kestrel 48? I see tons of comments on the Exos and Atmos AG models, but not much love for the kestrel.
I've been going back and forth between the Atmos AG 50 and the kestrel 48. Can't decide..... I tried them both on at REI with 20lbs and they both felt good. The Atmos felt good overall, but the hip belt was not as comfortable. I wanted to like the Atmos AG, but I fear it might be gimmicky. The kestrel seems to be a more "standard" design. That's not necessarily better, but maybe seemed more proven?
Anyone have experience with both?
