Kelty Women's Redwing 2500 Backpack

Awesome backpack
I haven't really 'used' it per say because I haven't left for my trip yet but I have loaded it up and worn it around to see what it would really be like when I out traveling; and it's great. The weigh is light and it feels super sturdy. The zippers are almost tucked into the bag and feel secure. I love how the bag unzips and I can see everything that is inside. I wish there were compression straps inside or maybe a small zippered compartment to separate items. My body is 5'5 and less than 120lbs and the bag almost forms to my body and sits close. I have never owned a backpack like this one but it's well worth it.

very comfortable on a small framed woman
tested the pack in shenandoah np and will use it every day on kauai and maui hiking and travelling. packs well even for running.

Great Backpack
Has lots of room. Easy on the Back. Great to work with

Saves my back; Sturdy
This is good on my frame: 5'7", ~130 lbs. I have a rather long torso, and the hip straps are still at a good place. Its sturdiness and capacity are great. I can fit all I need for a whole day on campus, including gym stuff - or a 1-2 day hike. I have sworn off North Face packs forever because it seems the quality took a nose-dive once NF became "cool". My last NF pack ripped through one pocket and lost all of its internal waterproofing within 2 years. Kelty is always dependable, and Redwing is no exception.
