Kestrel 38L Men's Backpacking Backpack

I was in a similar situation after cracking a few vertebrae. My answer was an Osprey pack with otherwise ultralight gear. I think it's a Kestrel 38, but I could be wrong. I was able to take almost all the weight off my back. They're some fully featured packs like Durston's that are lighter than most

I LOVE my osprey kestrel, but it's too big for a day pack. I think mine's above 50L. Maybe they have a smaller one? For wearing a daypack, if you can get one that transfer the weight to your hips it should help a lot. If you can go try them on in store, loaded down, that's best. Kestrel works for me

Kinda shocked by the answers here tbh. I feel like most ppl are trying to make you feel better rather than actually helping you. Im in the middle of my camino atm. Ive been paying attention to everyone’s backpack throughout the way because im a backpack nerd and most (more than 80%) of folks’ daypac

You’ll want a bigger pack with a frame, saw stuff gets heavy fast. I like the osprey kestrel 38, it started as my personal overnight pack and then I was issued another one for cut n runs with the FS. Fits everything you’d need for a day shot and carries the weight well while still being light. Seemi
