Kelty Redwing Backpack - LE 3100

My husband and I both just got Kelty backpacks(the 3100 for him and the 2500 for me)for an upcoming trip to Utah and Colorado. I love these backpacks - they look good, are comfortable and hold a lot of stuff. We are also using them to pack for a short trip to Kentucky this weekend and they can hold everything we need. The price was also great especially when compared with other major retailers I checked out.

pack is well made and is engineered well. I carry first aid, my supplies, and dog supplies,

Using it for 72 hour emergency packs. Very roomy. Will hold it all.

The compression straps make this versatile for many different size loads, from day hiking with the kids to solo overnight trips. Solid construction, lots of features but not too heavy.

Awesome pack I've been looking at this pack for sometime now and found it here for half the price, Sierra does it again!!!

a great pack. i bought the next smaller version a while ago, and its great. so when i saw the bigger pack i bought it.

Plenty of room and very useful two side pockets. It would be nice to have padded handle at the top. Also separate zip opening for the water bag would help. As it is, you will need to take some of your items out before getting to the water bag.

This pack is comfortable and well made just like the other Kelty pack I have

I wanted a larger pack for my everyday things. This one has mesh pockets in front. (Not good when it rains unless you are washing some dirty undies or something.) The side pockets were open on top with just a flap over them. I guess to catch rain and snow to store for later. At the very top is a water faucet hole/opening with just a small rubber flap to cover this hole. I want to keep the rain and snow and other things out, not invite these things in to ruin my day. I returned the pack.

I use it mostly for overnighters when fishing.
