"The Kelty Red Cloud Backpack combines features, comfort, and value for weeklong recreational backpacking. The adjustable Red Cloud fits a multitude of body shapes and heights. Ample padding on the hip-belt, back panel, and shoulder straps ensure a comfortable carry and help support heavy loads. The Red Cloud's large main compartment holds the bulk of your gear, and the various smaller side, front, and interior pockets help keep smaller items organized. The Red Cloud's top lid converts into a fanny pack for quick excursions from base camp when all you need is a camera and a water bottle."

"Done some day hikes with this pack. Will eventually do longer and heavier hikes. Handled 20 to 30 pounds well.

To shrink the pack, mate the lid clip to the sleeping bag compartment compression clip and the pack compresses vertically automatically."

"I love this pack! I've taken it camping a number of times in the Boundary Waters (as well as traveling) and it's been great. Tons of space, pockets, etc. Adjustment was a bit difficult initially but once it was taken care of, it was great."

"I bought the Kelty Red Cloud as my first backpack and used it in the backcountry at Glacier National Park. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, quality backpack at a low price."

"I had my Red Cloud for about three years when it gave out on me. The fabric at the bottom end of the stay ripped out and let one of the stays fall out of the pack. Also, whenever I carried heavy loads in the rain the velcro tab that keeps the stays in at the top would break loose. Save your money and get a better pack if you plan on a lot of use."
