Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Redtail Backpack goes from classroom to trailhead as easily as you do. Plenty of cargo space holds your calculus and art history books and English anthologies. Two side pockets hold water bottles, and a sleeve holds your water bladder (not included). A front pocket helps you keep your cell phone, keys, and other small items. Swap your tomes for extra layers, lunch, and first aid kit, and spend your afternoon or weekend hiking."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Kelty Women's Redtail Day Pack is a lightweight, low-profile, year-round performer that features a webbed waist belt for lighter loads, and plenty of pockets for organization."

From REI:
"Incorporating Kelty's legendary durability, the well-designed Redtail 1800 daypack is a year-round performer that comfortably hauls your essentials on the trail and across town. Adjustable, padded shoulder straps are sculpted to fit your body and distribute weight for load-carrying ease; removable webbing hipbelt. Shoulder straps and padded backpanel are lined with moisture-wicking mesh that dries quickly, keeping you comfortable in the heat of hiking. Spacious, panel-opening main compartment with 2-way zipper features a reservoir sleeve for convenient hydration (reservoir sold separately). Front pocket has an organizer panel with key clip and map pocket. Small essentials keep organized and handy in the front zippered stash pocket and twin mesh water bottle pockets. Strap on even more equipment with daisy chain, ice-axe loop and lash tabs. Side compression straps help stabilize the load. Constructed from rugged 600-denier ripstop polyester and reinforced with 610-denier Cordura® polyester to withstand the rigors of the trail. Lightweight, flexible, high-density polyethylene framesheet helps keep loads from sagging and sharp gear from poking you in the back."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Kelty Redtail Backpack blurs the line between a school bag and an on-the-trail pack. With 1800cu inches of cargo space and a removable waist-belt, this Kelty bag holds all the books you need for class and all the food and clothes you need for a day of hiking. In addition to easy access through a large panel zip, the Redtail Backpack has a large front pocket for smaller items and two side mesh pockets to stash goodies that you want within easy reach."

"Great daypack. It's the perfect size for an all day outing, and compatible with the hydration system of your choice. The straps are fully adjustable to custom fit to your torso, which is good for me. I have a pretty short torso and most packs seem too big to me."
