Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The pack that started it all for Kelty, this women's pack offers classic design with modern adjustability for outstanding value. Telescoping H-frame is constructed of a durable aluminum alloy; it adjusts by moving the waistbelt down to avoid top-heavy loads. Large, top-loading packbag has multiple pockets to help organize all the gear you need for trips up to a week long. Internal load pocket secures essentials while keeping them accessible. Suspension system features padded shoulder straps and 2-layer hipbelt padding that comfortably distribute the load. Sternum strap, load-lifter straps and belt stabilizers help balance the load; pulley-like Scherer Cinch™ doubles your hipbelt tightening force. Sprung-mesh back panel offers superior ventilation. Zip-access sleeping bag compartment can be isolated from main packbag using the internal 3-position zip divider. Spindrift collar cinches down over the main compartment to seal out the weather. Top of pack features a hold-open bar that makes loading and unloading easy. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Made from lightweight, durable 210-denier nylon double ripstop and 420-denier nylon packcloth."

From EMS:
"The backpacking classic with an indestructible adjustable H-frame and plenty of gear pockets. The short torso size is perfect for women and teens. Suspension features padded waist belt, shoulder straps, load lifter straps, sternum strap. Large main compartment with top panel loading and an extended spindrift collar for upward stacking of contents. Sleeping bag compartment with separate front access. Backpack is configured for a tent to be strapped to the outside, underneath the sleeping bag compartment. 4 side pockets; water bottle holder; hydration system compatible; ice axe loops."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Kelty Trekker External Frame Backpack is a backpacking classic. Simple in its design and pure in its function, this pack is the choice for backcountry purists."

User Reviews

Women's Trekker 3900 ST
Reviewed by second gear, May 10, 2008

"I have had this pack for around 8 years. The 5 1/2 pound rating may seem heavy by "modern" standards, but I found the assets offset its weight. I find I stay cooler than with an internal frame.

I like how I can handle the frame without putting stress on the fabric."
