I am looking into getting my first backpack and found the Kelty Trekker 3950 and was wondering if it was right for me. I know I need to try it own before I buy one but I am a 5 foot 10 inch male weighing in at 180. Is the Trekker 3950 the right size, to small, to big, what are your opinions on this.

Jeremy, This pack would fit you fine, but before buying anything I would also take a look at the internal frame brother of this pack, the Kelty Cyote. It is in the same price range, but gives you a fully internal frame pack with most of the same features as the more expensive top tier packs. I prefer internal frame packs simply because they do a better job of protecting my gear, while still giving me the option to strap a pad or tent to the outside if I have to, though I usually find a way to get all of my gear on the inside With that being said, some people still and always will prefer external frame packs as it gives them the ability to attach bulky or awkward objects on the outside of the pack without worrying about how they fit on the inside. It also gives them faster access to these objects, which can be nice for getting camp set up quick. Good luck on your decision

This pack will be good for your size. It does depend on what gear you have and how long you are going out for. If for an overnight or a weekend you could carry all you need in this pack.
