"I liked this pack but I found that, possibly due to my inexperience with adjusting it, I could never really get it to fit right. It always felt as if I had too much of the weight on my shoulders instead of on my hips.

However, for the beginner backpacker I could not recommend a better starter pack if you can get it at a good price."

"This discontinued pack is marvelous. It's worth searching for. Backpacking for me is a vehicle for hunting and fishing. This pack is almost a hybrid between an internal frame pack and external frame pack. Kelty's thru-hiker frame keeps the narrow bag close to the back."

Nice external frame pack--easily adjustable torso length, comfortable suspension with firm padding on hipbelt, removable top lid/waist pack and carries loads very well due to narrower profile than most externals (it doesn't sway side-to-side and isn't as top heavy as most externals); Kind of a hybrid design (slim packbag like an internal but with an external frame that tapers inward at the bottom); Quality of constuction is very good like most Kelty packs but it has been discontinued; if you can find a used one it would be a fine purchase at any price.
