FS: vintage but still in great shape, Osprey Kestrel Pro daypack with Dyneeema/ Spectra cloth woven thru black nylon pack sack. Nearly indestructible..a simple but technical daypack. They don’t make them like this anymore. MADE IN COLORADO,! Great for all day alpine hikes, mountaineering lite, canyoneering, sport climbing, skiing, heavy photography loads, Perfect for traveling!! either as your carry on or, if you can go light, your entire luggage. What makes this daypack different from others on the market- a REAL set of padded shoulder straps and a REAL full size , marked L(arge) removable waistbelt —allows you to carry heavier loads with ease. It has a small top pocket with key holder inside. It’s older, so none of the fancy extra stuff like water bladder systems, or extra stretchy fabric or a zillion little pockets.Just a 100% hardcore daypack. Why selling it? I have a degenerative back disability and it means my serious hiking days are over. Letting it go for $55 plus $25 for UPS ground shipping w/ insurance and tracking.

I’m totally legit; a professional photographer (www.ericbeecroft.com) and director of a prestigious international photo workshop-Foundry Photojournalism Workshops.I can send references if needed.
