In 1952, Dick Kelty, a carpenter, builder, and avid outdoorsman, started making backpacks for his friends in the Sierra Club for 24 bucks a pop. His friends were grateful. These 24-dollar packs revolutionized backpacking, implementing for the first time Kelty's ideas of a hipbelt and lighter aluminum frames. Soon, Kelty and his friends were exploring the Sierra Nevadas with heavy loads, no shoulder pain, going farther, longer, and happier into the wilderness than ever before. Five years later, Dick Kelty quit his carpentry business to start an outdoor gear company. Staked out in an old garage, he welded aluminum tubes into frames while his wife, Nena, cut, sewed, and fitted the pack bags. Today, Kelty gear promises the same dedication to innovation and getting outdoors that Dick Kelty had forty-eight years ago. Kelty started as a company making it easier for friends to enjoy the wilderness, and that's what Kelty still does. Kelty just has a few more friends.

This is the perfect everyday backpack. It's big enough to hold the basics (books, personal items, packable rain jacket, etc.). It's not big enough for a larger laptop, but the style would probably look odd if it was that large. Although mine is still very new, the zipper and hardware on the back seem ultra durable. With the traveling that I've done so far with it, it was extremely comfortable even when it was totally packed and heavy. The straps are great and the weight distributes really well. My only wish was that key strap was either in the outside pocket or was a little closer to the opening of the main compartment. Given the quality of the other materials, it would've been nice if the clip for keys was metal instead of plastic. Overall, very highly recommended! I look forward to buying another Kelty bag in the future.

Very cute, the zipper doesn't worth as smooth as I like it to, but otherwise I love the cute little size but at the same time room to fit so many things. I love it.

Saw a cute guy on the train with this pack on and instantly texted "Kelty Pack" to myself. Bought one the next day and have been obsessed since. I love that it's top loading, love all the inner pockets and dividers, not to mention the design and quality of materials is superb. Padded straps, easily adjustable. Love.

This bag has a retro feel, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. It's light and waterproof. However, it's really small. Smaller than you'd expect. I'm 5'7" and it's dwarfed on me. However, it can still hold a lot of stuff. Due to all of the great interior pockets, it holds the following daily: 10" netbook, sneakers (size 10), gym clothes, makeup kit, keys, another small electronics pouch, iPod, phone, etc. So if you don't mind it looking oddly small, then go for it. Also, as others mentioned, it really does attract fuzz from whatever you're wearing, but it comes off easily.

Really cute backpack! The only downside: texture of outer canvas is a lint machine. Result after two hours of walking around with backpack rubbing against my sweater: not so cute. Otherwise it's my daily walking/biking bag. Material is light and thin but feels sturdy nonetheless, lots of pockets for all my junk. A good deal!
