Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Beam 82 has the ability to haul monster loads like no other - and keep you cool at the same time. It features easy-adjust Aero Beam&$TRADE; suspension, a low-profile hood configuration for reducing volume, and plenty of pockets to help you stay organized."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"Fit everything you need for two weeks in the backcountry inside your Kelty Beam 82 Backpack. The Kelty Beam features a breathable back panel, hip-belt, and shoulder straps so you don't get a soaked back as you hike along a desert wash or up mountain slopes. Load lifter straps, compression straps, and belt stabilizers help steady your 60-pound load, and plenty of pockets help you stay organized. A sleeping bag compartment lets you get to your bag without having to unload the rest of your gear, and a hydration sleeve holds your water bladder (not included) so you stay hydrated during your journey."

From REI:
"The Kelty Beam pack hauls monster loads while keeping your cool with the easy-adjust AeroBeam™ suspension and lots of organization. Top-loading design with a hold-open bar for complete access to all corners of the pack. AeroBeam adjustable suspension system with curved, three-layer padded shoulder straps and two-layer padded hipbelt comfortably distributes the load. Sternum strap, load-lifter straps and belt stabilizers help balance the load; Scherer Cinch™ pulley-like system doubles hipbelt tightening force. Main compartment holds a hydration reservoir and features tube ports on lid (reservoir sold separately). Large stretch front pocket and waterproof stretch side pockets keep essentials handy and help you keep track of gear. Security pocket lets you stow away valuables. Ice axe loops and lash tabs provide attachment points for strapping extras onto the outside of the pack. Spindrift collar cinches down over the main compartment to seal out the weather. Breathable backpanel, waistbelt and shoulder straps increase your carrying comfort. Zip pockets on waistbelt provide a handy place for frequently accessed items such as sunscreen, lipbalm and snacks. Side and vertical compression straps secure and stabilize the load. Sleeping bag compartment accommodates large synthetic sleeping bags. Two mesh water bottle pockets."

"This is a pretty lengthy review but I felt it necessary because of the lack of information on this backpack via the Google searching I have done on this pack. And the fact that Kelty like most manufactures doesn’t have a very detailed description of there packs."
