Gregory Keeler Backpack - 4800cu in
Keeler review
By "mugs"
Ranked #802 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)
November 14, 2005
After going through several packs the Keeler (large) fit the bill. I needed a pack to carry the extra gear/food for when I go out with my boys on a 3-4 day or a weeklong with adults or solo. I have comfortably carried 60lb at times, and it holds up fine. It has enough storage areas to avoid the abyss hunt of some packs. The only complaint I have is the extremely annoying squeak that the suspension has when under load. I fixed that by putting a "slicker" surface between the back panel and the harness/belt points.(duct tape).Exchanging the Wilderness harness for Flow Foam II may do the trick as well.
