Take enough gear for a day hike or a light overnighter with the Medium/Large Redwing 50 from Kelty. Designed to fit torsos in the 17.5 - 21" range, this pack holds 52 liters of essentials. The HDPE frame sheet and single LightBeam aluminum stay provides rigidity as you hike. The dynamic AirFlow back panel and AirMesh shoulder straps, waist belt, and lumbar support encourage airflow to help keep you dry. A Scherer Cinch rapidly compresses the waist belt, and stabilizer straps adjust fit and weight distribution. Load-lifter and stabilizer straps let you control how the weight is distributed on your shoulders, while the adjustable sternum strap keeps the shoulder straps from spreading outwards.
The panel loading main compartment handles the bulk of your gear, while zippered side pockets provide quick access to oft-needed items. A large front pocket features an organizer keeps small items handy and a stash pocket provides a space to keep your identification safe. An attached key fob ensures your keys are easily found at the trailhead. Even though the pack has dual mesh water bottle holders on the side, it is still hydration bladder compatible. On the exterior, side compression straps condense loads and minimize sway. An ice-axe/trekking pole loop combine with a daisy chain for securing extra gear.
