Is the raincover removable?

Yes, the raincover is removable and stores in its own zippered pocket at the base of the pack.

Can I use this pack for air travel?

While the Kestrel™ 68 is suitable for travel, ensure it meets airline carry-on size restrictions if you plan to use it as such. Always check with your airline for specific requirements.

What is the warranty?

How do I clean the backpack?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the pack. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer.

Are there different sizes available?
