"A ten day trip to Costa Rica and I didn't want to take any carry on luggage. This transported everything I needed and fit comfortably on my back for the hauls between hotels and airports and waiting for transport. I did not use it as a day pack, but I think it would be quite comfortable for at least half a day."

"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."

Reviewed by Justin Doyle, Jan 20, 2005

"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."
