The base compartment features an internal divider which can be used to split the load whilst still allowing longer items such as tent poles to fit, this compartment has its own zipped external access.

Hlavní přednosti dámského batohu Kyte 36: Internal versus external hydration sleeve:While the Sirrus 36 has an internal hydration sleeve, the Kyte 36 has an external one. An external hydration sleeve would be preferable for a couple of reasons. Having your hydration bladder on the outside of the main compartment means that your gear is protected from spills. If your hydration reservoir bursts, and external hydration sleeve will mean that your gear will stay dry. Also, an external hydration sleeve makes it easier for you to refill the reservoir.

You can also reach the main compartment through the separate sleeping bag/pad apartment. There is a divider here that can be removed if you want to make the main compartment bigger. You also get sleeping pad straps at the base of the Kyte 36 that, as the name suggest, are really useful for attaching bulky sleep mats, or they can be completely removed to reduce weight if not required. An adjustable sternum strap helps to equalize the load and features a built-in emergency whistle.Women’s specific harness and hipbelt - Designed for women, these features enhance comfort and flexibility. Side tension straps are linked to the hipbelt. By tightening these straps you can stabilise the load but reduce the hipbelt flexibility. Where balance is critical tightening them can help you feel more secure. However, if you are striding out over easy terrain it’s better to loosen these straps to allow full hip flexibility. To set the standard of a modern, all outdoor bag, the Kyte comes equipped with an integrated/detachable rain cover for those sudden showers on the trail. Stow-on-the-Go allows you to stash walking poles without needing to remove the bag, for those times when you need both hands for a scramble. With a sliding torso adjustment and multiple options for the exterior compression straps but not hip belt adjustment, we ranked the Kyte average for adjustability. The Kyte is also ready for winter duties with twin ice axe loops, an integrated and removable rain cover and multiple lashing points across the front that work well to secure crampons.

An array of webbing and compression straps allow for the carry of larger items such as sleeping pads. An ice axe attachment loop too enables you to carry winter hardware for when venturing into the unknown. Want to make sure that you have enough space for all of your gear? And external hydration sleeve will not take up extra space within your main compartment, leaving room for more of your gear. The Osprey Kyte line is built specifically for women! It comes in two sizes: 36 and 46 liters; where as the men’s version (Kestrel) comes in sizes 38 and 48. There is also a zippered sleeping bag compartment at the bottom. This helps to keep your sleeping bag nice and dry throughout the day. Above the sleeping bag compartment are straps that you can use to secure your sleeping pad. Convenient gear attachments An accurate torso measurement will get you the correct BP size then you will have to make adjustments to the velcro suspension system to dial in your vertical fit. Here an experienced BP person at a sporting goods store can help you out. If this is not available you can view YouTube videos to get you started then you can refine the adjustments on the trail.

Osprey’s lifetime warranty ( dubbed the All Mighty Guarantee!) is pretty unique in the industry and is definitely one of the best things about the Osprey brand. The Kestral (Kyte) is more stout than the Talon (Tempest) but I find that my Talon BP is quite durable. What I did not like about the Kestral was that when you filled the zippered compartments on the sides the contents expanded internally which reduced the volume the the main compartment. I found both BPs to be comfortable to carry and well ventilated.

Finally, the spacer mesh harness and hipbelt help you support the weight while remaining comfortable and breathable. Need to secure your bicycle helmet or some trekking poles? The Kyte 36 has bungee tie-offs that you can use for this purpose. Apart from these tie-offs, the front panel has a daisy chain for extra attachment points. These bags are also made to last, which is greatly appreciated in a modern age where most things seem to be built to be replaced. I will be using this on my second Camino in Spain next year. Last year I used 45+10 Deuter which was a bit too big.

Our Policies

The best part about Osprey is that the Kyte 46 does not compromise comfort for weight. The way I see it: what’s the point of going lightweight if it doesn’t feel comfortable. Isn’t that why we keep our bags light in the first place!?

But it does have a more feminine style, and will fit shorter females better than the Kyte 36. The Osprey Kyte 46 has several competitors even within the Osprey brand ( a bit of sibling rivalry never hurt!)
