Write your question here...Can you tell me other than volume what the difference is between the 2009 Kelty Tioga 5500 and the 2009 Kelty Trekker? Mainly is there a difference at all in the frame, belt, and straps? Also can you tell me were the water bottle pocket is on both packs?
Thank you

The frames are essentially the same other than the Trekker is a bit longer. The Tioga 5500 fits torsos 16-22". Tioga 5000 fits torsos 16-19". The Trekker 3950 fits torsos 16-22". Trekker 3900 fits torsos 14-20". The pocket arrangement is different. Both have a watter bottle / stuff pocket on the upper right of the pack (hard to see in the pic above). Hope that helps.
