Description

A classic big hauler with customizable suspension.

The Kelty Coyote Backpack's beefy dimensions and sophisticated suspension bring sport and luxury together so you can get to those places where no car could travel. With the assurance of an adjustable torso system, this big, compressible pack fits to your body for long loops along an endless ridge line.
  • In addition to the CloudLock II adjustable torso system, the pack includes two aluminum stays, an HDPE framesheet in the back, and HDPE reinforcement in the waist belt
  • The removable top lid and front panel allow you quick access the main 4750cu inches of space
  • Side and top lid compression straps reduces pack volume for shorter trips
  • A reservoir sleeve and two side bottle pockets hold enough water to get you to the next spring
  • Take the removable top lid up to a nearby waterfall after you attach it like a lumbar pack
  • Zippered waist belt pockets hold a camera, snack, or knife within easy reach
  • A spindrift collar and ice axe loop gives the Coyote the versatility for alpine quests

I will start off by giving a disclaimer. I do not own the current model of this pack. I purchased this pack about 6 or 7 years ago, and just retired it in the last few months. Although I retired this pack, it was not because it had fallen apart. This is truly an amazing, durable, cost effective pack. I have easily put over 1,000 miles on my Kelty Coyote, and it still looks brand new. There are many pros to this pack, and very few cons. This pack has so many organizational features that many packs lack. You have access to the main compartment, you have several outside pockets which have mesh netting, and you have a huge interior. My only complaint would be the suspension system. I never knew what I was missing out on until I purchased my Gregory. Now that I know what a superior suspension system feels like, I would rate the Kelty Coyote suspension system as a 3 out of 5. All that to say, you will not find a better large pack in this price range. If you are new to backpacking or are on a budget, then this is the pack you want to buy. You will not be disappointed!

durable and cost effective.

First off, there is a ton of space in this pack. Many different compartments to store whatever you need. I would give its comfortability an 8/10. The best part is the adjustable back support system which is really easy to use. I carried 55 lbs in it on a 50 mile backpacking hike in Isle Royale and it performed great!

Have not had a change to try it out yet. Leaving for a 50 mile trip through Buckskin Gulch next week. With the pack loaded it feels very comfortable.

How was Buckskin Gulch? How did the pack hold up?

It held up great and I love this pack. Easy to get to all you stuff. A little hard to get the fit dialed in. Buchskin was long and muddy. Paria we great.

I had a small issue with mine. I had it packed so tight that the pockets for the water bottles started tearing in a couple places. Not a huge deal but something to watch out for

I am 23 and in good shape. I loaded this pack down with well over 50 lbs for a 20 mile weekend trip and it was great. I had to carry most of the supplies for my group because I was the only one who can handle it and not whine so I carried all my personal supplies, 2 man tent, the pots and food and it all fit no problem. I was comfortable but my father says that he would not be comfortable in the same pack. So if you are young and in shape and not a whiner this pack will be much more than enough. I am 5'11" 200lbs and the M/L was slightly long but like I said, I had no discomfort

I am interested in buying a back pack that could be used for a long weekend for hiking or stored in a dry compartment on my kayak. I do not take weekly or monthly trips but seize opportunities when they arise (sometimes once every 18 months or longer). I know that Kelty is generally high quality and durability yet I don't know how they stack up economically. How does Kelty compare with Osprey in regard to backpacks?

I've only used Kelty packs but in general they have slightly heavier materials, less sophisticated designs than Osprey but are durable and generally much cheaper. I backpack a fair amount and have been curious about "upgrading" to a more expensive pack such as Osprey or Gregory, but I've been pretty satisfied with my Kelty pack.

This is a great bag for those looking to carry a lot of gear. I was able to carry everything in it with out trying to play tetris. I had a great suspension system which really takes all the weight off your back, its got 2 water bottle holders on either side so if one was so inclined they could put 4 1L bottles in them, it has waist pockets for easy access. it has a hip belt and a chest belt. It is a very good bag and I was defiantly satisfied with it.

I had a Peak1 external frame backpack that I beat the heck out of an served me well for a first backpack and traded up for this one. It is a great pack that will definitely get you through the weekend, or even longer depending on how/what you pack.

I plan on taking a 10 x 19 inch sleeping bag with me. How do you think this will fare being inside this pack?

Dave Marcus

Kelty lists the dimensions of the pack: 34"x16"x16.5". You'll have to carry the sleeping bag vertically or use a compression sack to cut 3" off the length.

You can't see it, but this pack does have the ability to use webbing or cord to secure something (probably a tent or sleeping bag) to either the top or bottom. I'd recommend doing that over having it inside the pack. Most Backpack covers are built to accommodate doing this if you are worried about rain.

My documentation that came with this must assume I know what I'm doing or that I know about backpacks. I bought this along with a hydration unit but I have no idea where the hydration unit goes and how the hose is snaked to me. Any clues -- detailed please?

Russell,

Most Kelty backpacks have a pouch in the main pocket for your hydration bladder. This will be on the inner wall of the backpack closest to your body while you're wearing it (water is heavy, and heavy objects are better packed closer to your center of mass). When you pack your bladder, the tube should be on the bottom so it will always be covered in water and you won't be sucking air when you're exhausted and thirsty.

The "snake" is a little harder to find. It's usually a little hole about where your neck should be between that pocket and the outside of the pack, and may be labeled with a little "H2O" or a water droplet. You can sometimes find it offset to one side towards the top seam of the main pocket. My advice, feel around for it until your finger goes through something. It's often covered by a water-resistant top material.

Happy trails!

This is my first large pack that I've bought and used and overall it's a good value. Materials are high quality and storage room is sufficient. Though the cinches for the shoulder straps seem to slip and need re-adjusting every few hundred yards on the trail. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Comfortable ride.

My first large one also. I feel the same. Great number of outside stowaways. Great material. Easy on the eyes and the back! I love that adjustable suspension.

The adjustable suspension is my favorite thing about it!

Would this be a good pack for philmont.

It will be plenty big if that's what you're asking.

Yes this is a great pack for philmont, it has a ton of features for storage like the front panel pocket, side pockets, panel access, hydration compatible as well as a removable top pocket with it's own waist belt to turn it into a lumbar pack.

I can't think of one larger that I'd want. Turns lots of weight into nothing.

I haven't been to many places yet with this pack, but so far it has been good. I have taken it on a 2 week road trip and also a 4 day hiking adventure. It performed great and the suspension system works very well, no pain!!! I just wish it had a smaller pocket on the bottom to break up the main pouch like the Red Cloud. Besides that, it is a great pack would recommend!
