Convenient for travel and business trip, I bought an affordable backpack "Osprey Kestrel" with many pockets and size to choose

There are problems with travel and business trips, but the last timeThe shoes have been tornFollowing on this incident encountered in America in the accident that the bag's zipper will break. So, I decided to write an article as a whole until I repurchase a new item. In addition, since the purchased backpack is a thing that you can buy in Japan, please also check the contents by those who are looking for a travel bag for use in Japan.

I changed my bag I used first, and the contents became bread, and it seems like it is now even now.


Despite such a state I tried to force the lid to close, so the zipper was damaged. Once you can close your mouth, but if you pull it lightly it will be vacant with immediate puff.


How is it actually broken? It is easy to understand by watching the following movie.

After this, there are still movements by airplane, so if you keep it as it is, you may end up changing clothes in the luggage room. So, I decided to go looking for a new bag.

◆I went shopping.

Sortie in New York at night.


The outdoor shop in Soho district that cameREI.


The entrance looks something like this.


It is considerably wider inside the shop.


Back packs are lining up with the slurry.



I asked the staff of the shop about the recommendation and asked the purpose of use and the number of days so I answered "We are on a business trip for about a week", the following "Osprey Kestrel(Osprey Kestrel) 48 ", the price is 184 dollars including tax (around 15,556 yen). In Japan, exactly the same model is sold at almost the same price.


As the size can be chosen from four of 28, 38, 48, 58 liters, it is easy to find what matched to the physique, the body was 1.58 kg as it was actually carried, and the fit was good as it was a light weight so much so So I decided to purchase.

Afterwards, go to a cash register and pay with credit card OK. When I heard that people in REI "Is it possible to take a memorable session?", They let me take pictures pleasantly.


◆Photo review

The appearance of the backpack is as follows.


A split and sturdy form.


On the top of the main unit is a part called lid (rain lid), which literally prevents entry of rain etc, you can also compress the contents of the contents by pulling on the belt.


Because it has pockets on both sides, it is convenient to put items you want to take out to sneakers.



Also fastener is attached to the bottom of the backpack, and from the top you can quickly access things hard to remove.



A large mesh pocket is mounted on the outside rear side. Even if small items such as towels are put in a little wet, air will pass so it is convenient to dry the contents. .


The lid (rain lid) is equipped with two mini pockets with zipper, perfect for storing smartphone and wallet. When going to the mountain you can also put rain gear and action diet etc in this place.


There are mesh pockets on the back side of the lid so you can put valuables such as keys.


The main luggage compartment is like this.


It is a size enough to allow a 12-inch notebook computer.


The back side of the backpack.


Since the mesh is stretched over the uneven cushioning material, it is comfortable as there is no sense of getting stuck even if you sweat.


Because the waist belt is made of fluffy material and it is prone to carry heavy luggage on the shoulder, burdens tend to concentrate on the shoulder, so it is unsuitable for applications like long-term longitudinal running.


Small pockets on the outside of the left and right belts.



The shoulder strap uses a mesh material on the inside, making sweat easy to dry.


Belt like this keeps the backpack in front of my chest so that it will not shake while walking. Because it has a whistle it is also possible to call for help with this in case of emergency.


In addition, since the rain cover (raining drift) is also attached, it is safe even if there is a sudden weather change.


When you cover the backpack with the cover and cover, it becomes like this. In addition, it is useful not only for rain but also for protecting things in dirt and pockets from pickpockets, so it is sometimes necessary to leave the cover on all the time.


By the way, when you fully open your pocket and pack your luggage with a dobadoba you will feel like this.


That's why we recommend wide range from short to medium trips and business trips such as hiking and light climbing, outdoor festivals to camping, and depending on the size the price is also in the early 10,000 yen range and backpack is reasonably priced.
