I recently used this pack on a backpacking trip through the mountains during a big thunderstorm. I was very pleased with the performance of this pack. It has a built in rain cover which made it very easy to keep things dry. Another feature it has is every pocket is a roll top opening which eliminate...

Most Helpful Negative Review Not what I expected
Was really excited about trying this pack. Thought it was gonna be just what I had been looking for. Once the pack was fully packed, it just didn't handle the load very well. Didn't fit properly. Would most definitely be better if it came in a 60 liter.

I love the Kelly 50 pack . I can't over pack my gear any more .I just got back from a 40 mile four days 3 nights trip across the Uwharrie mountains. The pack worked out great . Light weight and strong as nails .No more over packing heavy backpacks Amen to Kelly 50 .

Blown away :D

Couldnt believe how light it was for starters! I've taken it on a few hikes and so far so good. Fits great around the shoulders and feels like almost no weight with a full pack. The roll tab closures are awesome, big fan of those. Great pack!

Fantastic adaptable pack

by Guy B., from QLD, Australia Written on March 14, 2015
While the design is certainly unique, if you're after a pack that can be stripped down for day hikes, cycling trips or just ultralight trips while still having the ability to clip on an extra 15L at a moments notice, the PK50 may just be perfect. The website doesnt mention that the aluminium frame is removable (so is the plastic reinforcement) so if you're looking to shed a little more weight its easily done. No complaints so far, great pack.

Awesome pack!

by Packing on the, from MN, United States Written on August 5, 2014
I love this pack and it's the perfect size for a weekend and can even stretch it to a week long if I pack lean. I'm not an ultra light hiker, my base weight is a bit above 20 pounds depending on the creature comforts I bring. It carries the weight really well and can very comfortably hold 35 pounds when I'm loaded with fuel, food and plenty of water at the start of a trip. When I'm towards the end
