Kelty Red Cloud Hiking Backpack:
A Large and Less Expensive Wilderness Pack

Take the Kelty Red Cloud on the hiking trail, on your foreign vacation or anywhere where you need to carry a large load and maintain comfort. An internal frame pack, the Red Cloud is a versatile choice with a multitude of compartments for easy organization and quick access.

Get to your gear from the top or via the zip drawer on the bottom. The top lid also converts to a lumbar pack when you want to explore the wilderness with just a camera and a few snacks.

For proper comfort and stability, the Red Cloud is fully adjustable to most body types, fitting a torso range from 16 to 22 inches and the pack has extra padding on the hipbelt, shoulder straps and back panel.

The Red Cloud is tough enough to handle harsh trail conditions. Made with resistant nylon ripstop, it can take a beating and still provide years of serviceable use. And the spindrift collar helps seal out the rain and snow for more protection.

For long hikes, use the reservoir bladder that fits between the main compartment and your back without discomfort and keep hydrated with the strap attached water tube system. Keep all your gear handy with two zippered side pockets and a zip fleece-lined stash pocket, plus the large front pocket with an organizer and two mesh water bottle pockets.

For a perfect combination of value, comfort and utility, the Kelty Red Cloud remains a good choice for hikers and travelers with many users complimenting its durability and quality compared to more expensive pack brands.
