Kelty Men's Sierra Crest

The Men's Sierra Crest has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best external frame backpacks for 2025.

The Kelty Sierra Crest is a very versatile backpack. It is good for summer and winter hikes, however it is too heavy for long climbs. The backpack is good for 2-3 days for harsh hikes although I have used it for as many as six days of hiking although that is very difficult and I only recommend it for experienced hikers.
Overall I recommend the backpack for short fast hikes. The backpack should not be used for children under the age of 12, but I highly recommend it for adults.
In my opinion it is the best external frame pack available.
