Kelty Coyote 4750 Backpack – Simply the Best!

When I got my Kelty Coyote 4750 Backpack, I almost did a back hand spring because it looked better than it did when I when saw it on the internet. I decided to buy the Kelty coyote backpack when I did not find any negative review about this product – now I know why! I am particularly thrilled about the straps which allow my packing to be as compact as much as possible so that no item moves around. The pack also has lots of pockets, trust me; there is a place for everything you need to take on your trip. It seems as though each time I unload and load back, I find a new storage compartment or area or new strap. This pack was pretty well thought out. This Kelty coyote also has mini pouches that can be found on the waist pouch which can conveniently hold about 3 to 4 energy bars each (Yay!).

Another thing that you need to know is that I am 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh about 180 pounds, the Kelty Coyote 4750 backpack was most likely the correct fit – that is, after I adjusted everything to where it is supposed to be. This backpack is most certainly comfortable, with about a load that weighed 40 pounds I could dance around and this pack would of course move easily along with me

In fact this pack is beautiful! I almost feel like hiking every weekend! I recommend this pack, why? It is the best backpack I have ever owned that’s why?! Aside that fact, it has great features that you would simply love.

High Sierra Summit 45 Frame Pack – Get Ready, Set, Pack!

I could just say that this bag is comfortable and well-built, period. But I have a lot to say about this frame pack. You can easily secure this pack tightly to your body with its chest and waist straps, it is also well ventilated (thank goodness for that), the padding is very comfortable as well. The weight distribution is pretty good. If you need to carry some water along with you, you will find the two mesh pockets fit 2 water bottles of pretty good sizes. The strap’s holder can conveniently hold your Mp3 player or cell phone.

The only negative comment I have about the High Sierra Summit 45 Frame Pack is that is quite small from what I actually expected. If you plan to carry minimal stuff, then this internal frame backpack is simply perfect choice for you. It can carry just a pair of shoes; well, if you are just going hiking how many pairs of shoes would you need? This internal frame hiking backpack also takes quite a beating, it can also be adjusted to fit small to medium sized individuals. It has a lot of daisy chains and loops so that you can easily attach more gear. I totally recommend the High Sierra Summit 45 Frame Pack for the minimalist, but if you are one of those people who do not mind carrying everything but the kitchen sink when you go hiking, this internal frame hiking backpack is most certainly not for you.

Product Features
  • nylon
  • 45-liter, top-load main compartment with gusseted drawstring closure and adjustable top lid.
  • Front-load sleeping bag compartment with divider.
  • Padded backpack straps, with adjustable load-lifters, is constructed with Vapel mesh Airflow.
  • Molded foam back panel with Airflow™ channels to keep your back cool and dry.
  • Single, contoured aluminum frame bar can be adjusted to fit the shape of your back.
Product Description

Equally at home on the trails or far off the beaten path, our Summit 45 frame pack holds a lot but never holds you back. Lightweight and sporting a roomy 45-liter top-load main compartment, this feature-rich pack includes a host of extra like multiple compression straps, a hydration-ready design, soft lashing hardware and lots of handy pockets.

Kelty Red Cloud 5600 Backpack – Rugged Bag for Long or short Trips

When I first got my Kelty Red Cloud 5600 Backpack I must confess, I was pretty impressed. Well, I decided to order this pack based on the past experienced I had with my cousin’s three year old Kelty Red Cloud. I was really surprised to discover that this new model has a lot of features that quite frankly, I was not expecting. Among these features are the bag’s improved side pockets, and the mesh pockets on the waist belt too. These pockets have proven to be really handy for keeping small and regularly used items while hiking such as Cell phones, GPS and other handy devices. This Kelty backpack now has a new improved frame which can be easily adjusted in order to fit different sized torsos. I also love the part where the pack’s top lid detaches and voila! It converts into a fanny pack, which makes it very easy for me to take day hikes from my camping spot.

The pack is also a wee bit heavier than I even expected, but it sure makes up for its additional weight by being quite durable. This is because it is made using top quality materials, other top features of The Kelty Red Cloud 5600 Backpack that I simply love are:

•    Hydration compatible – this means that you can conveniently satisfy your thirst even while you are on the go.
•    Lash tabs
•    Key fob
•    HDPE frame sheet
•    Spindrift collar
•    Daisy chain
•    Zippered waist belt pockets
•    Load and side compression straps
•    Carrying handle

Product Dimensions:18 x 35 x 16 inches (W x H x D)
Weight: 5.1 pounds
Colours:Khaki/Nite Sky/Blood Red

I totally recommend this backpack for anyone who wants a top quality, long-lasting pack without having to sell one of your kidneys.

If you are simply one of those people who just does not understand the meaning of light packing then this frame backpack has your name written all over it. When I got this pack, I was indeed more than just pleased. This pack can be easily adjusted to fit a variety of torso sizes. It sure has a lot of room and also fits pretty nicely on anyone who is of average height (like me). The High Sierra Sentinel 65 frame pack is an internal frame backpack that is able to provide you with a lot of space to pack all your personal effects and other stuff too.

In the main compartment of this pack, you can even fit a three person trail tent (cause I know I did!), your clothes, food and a couple of supplies that will last you for about 4 days and 3 nights backpacking journey through the mountains. This is on internal frame hiking backpack that afforded me the opportunity to pack all my gear so that nothing was even left exposed – (well, this is the part where you scream Yippee Kayee!)

As a matter of fact I was able to CONVENIENTLY fit most of my gear into this pack. The High Sierra Sentinel 65 frame pack only has a few external pockets: 1 top pocket which is on the main compartment cover flap, two mesh water bottle pockets, one on each side of the bag. Nope, this pack is not going to cost you an arm or leg, the price on Amazon is $86.11 to $219.95 on select options it goes for $86.11 to $197.89 and special offers are also available. I really recommend this pack for those who want a functional internal frame backpack that would not cost the world.
