Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Cloud 5250 Backpack is the pack of choice for PARA rescue units in Iceland and Alaska and for adventure racers, because it is one of the most technically advanced backpacks in the world. The famous white pack, the ultralight Cloud 5250 Backpack is built for reliability in extreme environments. Spectra fabric which is ten times stronger than steel Kevlar, and PTFE thread mean it's extraordinarily strong but still lightweight enough for the light-is-right crowd. This year, the Cloud features double buckles on the top lid for added security, along with Levitators on the waist belt for a premium custom fit. If you're looking to shave pounds and increase versatility, the Cloud comes with a variable pocket attachment system. The Kelty Cloud Backpack comes with a customizable memory foam belt for comfort."

From REI:
"This innovative pack from Kelty's Ultralight Series is not too small, not too big--it's just right! Modular components allow custom weight and size! This pack series can be stripped down to just a plain packbag with shoulder straps, weighing in at just over a pound. Load-transferring, slow-memory foam hipbelt molds to your body; accepts two gear loops to carry extra gear. LightBeam™ stays weigh half of what traditional stays weigh, yet still supply the stiffness needed for support. Compression straps wrap around pack to pull the load as close to your body as possible, increasing stability. Top pocket adjusts in height and opens with single buckle for easy access. Suspension system features a removable backpanel and frame stays so you can adjust the support you need for different trail conditions. Four-point haul loops and ski lash patches accept gear loops and combine for ample gear room. Spectra® endures up to 500-lbs. breaking strength; this fabric is so tough, not even dye can penetrate it--available only in white. Laminated thread will never rot from UV, chemicals or molds, and along with Kevlar® top-stitching for strength, ensures a long life for this pack. Weight varies depending on which accessories you choose to add for any given outing; Note: weight specification is for bare bag only."

"I bought this because I like the ability to tailor the pack for the type and length of use. Although it was more expensive I have replaced three other packs with this one."
