"Good pack while it lasted (3 yrs). The bottom of the frame cracked rendering the pack useless. I used this pack about 3 times a year. I noticed this one day before a two week long trip. The cracks were on both sides of the frame, covered up by the black material on the bottom."

"This backpack has stood up to 3.5+ months of heavy backpacking use and one week of the Boundary Waters, loaded to 60+ lbs... and many car camping trips! Never any back pains, loads great, feels great, does the job!"

"I have taken several trips this year with the Kelty 5300. I like it. Load does not shift at all. Very well constructed. Comfortable for those LONG days of hiking. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Kelty 5300."

"This is an excellent pack. I have used it for over a year now on everything from short and flat to rocky mountain trails (Appalachian Trail). If you take the time to fit it properly, it is very stable on your back. It doesn't move around on me at all. The load lifters keep the weight high and on your hips. All in all it is very comfortable."

"I used this pack twice on moderate terrain, not too many hills. The trails were pretty easy, and only a couple of miles each into some lakes. I made sure to pack it correctly (although Kelty's recomendations differ than others' packing suggestions = kind of confusing), and it was well balanced."

"This is a great (and big) pack. I've only been on one trip with this pack. We went on a four-day, three-night snowshoeing trip to the U.P. Michigan (18 in of snow), and the pack performed wonderfully. It had very little wobble, even when going off the portage routs. The pack is very easy to load/unload, and seems to be made very well."
