I’ve heard from a few other travelers that they’re not quite a durable overall as some other bags.

As you have highlighted, Kelty and Osprey are probably among the top picks. This same recommendation is what I got when I asked few of my friends. But I’ve recently heard that the quality of Kelty backpack is no longer like it used to be. Any take on this?

Hi Greg, I haven’t seen there stuff as far as I can remember but can ask around on Twitter to see if any one has used them before.

They have what seem to be (from videos and just reading stats etc) well thought out and made packs. I’m looking into buying one, but since they are newer, there’s not a lot of feedback out there. I’d like to get one of their 80 Liter ones just because the dream is to do some really long trips out in the middle of nowhere. However, considering the feedback throughout the comments from people saying that it isnt a good idea, I’m not sure. So far, on the couple trips I’ve been on, I used a pack that was 70-75 L and didn’t fill it completely and didn’t get sore on our 12 hour day or the lesser ones either. I’m a young’n, and my body still works well… that may change later, but… just wondering if you could give some feedback on that pack if you’ve heard anything. Thanks.

What didn’t make sense in this post to you?
