Kelty Red Cloud Backpack - 5000-6650 cu in

The Kelty Red Cloud Backpack combines features, comfort, and value for weeklong recreational backpacking. The adjustable Red Cloud fits a multitude of body shapes and heights. Ample padding on the hip-belt, back panel, and shoulder straps ensure a comfortable carry and help support heavy loads. The Red Cloud's large main compartment holds the bulk of your gear, and the various smaller side, front, and interior pockets help keep smaller items organized. The Red Cloud's top lid converts into a fanny pack for quick excursions from base camp when all you need is a camera and a water bottle.

Bottom Line: The Kelty Red Cloud Backpack has all of the comfort and function an avid backpacker needs.

Hey all, I'm brand new pup to all of this. I'm starting to plan an extended trip to begin in about 6months. I would like to be able to live out of a pack in wilderness and urban settings. I've traveled before but never like this. I'm looking for any and all tips on: gear, destinations, travel habits... you name I want to know. Or if there is a good book/website that I can use as a resource. Thanks.

No, it's not a heavy duty pack. It's for loads under 60lbs.

is it a good pack for a 14 year old?

I got this pack at 12 or 13 and used it until just a few years ago (about 10 years of use) It is quite adjustable for growth, and will carry anything worth carrying unless they start to specialize in a certain sport.

Basically, the pack's a mule.

I have a 6650 Red Cloud. This pack can hold everything and anything. I worked at a camp where I led two week backpacking trips and had to carry over 9 liters of water and a big first aid kit. I was also able to then fit everything else on the inside, including tent and air mattress. Plus, then I had room for when people got hurt and we needed to divide weight up. Basically, the pack's a mule. The pack is sturdy at heavy weights and has lots of padding. The hip belt could form a little bit more to your body, and I wouldn't recommend to smaller sized people. The material can stand up to anything, and if it doesn't, well it has a lifetime warranty with Kelty and their repair service is excellent. Overall, it is a great buy.
