Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"A tried and true workhorse from Kelty, this rugged, lightweight pack is a natural for day hiking, commuting or school. Anatomically curved shoulder straps and removable airmesh hipbelt are sculpted to fit your body while distributing weight for load-carrying ease. Straps, hipbelt and padded back panel are lined with moisture-wicking mesh that dries quickly to keep you comfortable in the heat of hiking. Sternum strap, load-lifter straps and belt stabilizers help balance the load; Scherer Cinch pulleylike system doubles hipbelt tightening force. Supportive LightBeam stays shave off half the weight of traditional stays, yet are 30% stiffer. Roomy, panel-opening main compartment features an interior pocket and tube port for carrying a variety of hydration reservoirs, sold separately. Front pocket has an organizer panel, which includes a key clip and map pocket. Other essentials can be kept organized and handy in two zippered side pockets, zippered stash pocket, fleece-lined optics pocket and security pocket. Strap on even more equipment with daisy chain, lash tabs and an ice-axe loop. Four side compression straps help stabilize the load. Rugged 420-denier nylon micro ripstop, 500-denier nylon Kodra and 600-denier polyester Kodra withstand the rigors of the trail."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Redwing 2650 is a versatile internal frame pack that is well suited for both day and overnight trips. The side and front pockets will organize you..."

From Sierra Trading Post:
"CLOSEOUTS . The LE 2650 Redwing backpack by Kelty holds fluids, an ice axe and all kinds of gear on simple overnight trips or strenuous day hikes. Hydration-compatible Bladder pouch in main compartment for fluids Twin mesh side pockets hold water bottles Front zip pockets for maps, keys and flashlight Padded hip and shoulder straps for comfort Ice axe loop Daisy chain Zip side pockets Hydration bladder not included Padded mesh back panels Fits torsos: 16 to 18 ” Size: Approx. 21x16x14” Capacity: 2650 cu.in. Weight: 3 lb. 3 oz. Fabric: Nylon ripstop and nylon CLOSEOUTS . Philippines."

From CampSaver.com:
"More space than a purse, but less than a suitcase. The Kelty women's Redwing gets you through the day whether you're running between meetings or trekking up the mountain. Keep everything you need within reach. Your hands are free to take notes, shoot pictures or pick a handful of wildflowers. The Redwing features a full suspension and generous hip belt which allows you to carry more than you normally wood in a regular backpack. Bottom line: The Redwing isn't just a backpack, it's a fully featured pack with an internal frame for those who need a bit more than a school pack but less than a multi-day pack."

"I've had this bag for over 5 years now, and I was just recently forced to send it into Kelty for repair. I've used it for everything from school books to a two night trip in Sleeping Bear Dunes national park. It is a bit small for any sort of multiday expedition, but it all depends on how creative you can be with the daisy chain on the front pocket."

"The Kelty Redwing 2650 is a versatile backpack that can serve many purposes. One could use it as a backpack for school, a backpack for traveling, or a backpack for overnight camping trips. If you are looking for a good hiking or camping backpack I would not recommend the Redwing 2650, but as I said it is possible to take it on overnight adventures."
