Kelty

A venerable trail favorite, the versatile Kelty Redwing 44 is equally at home in the backcountry or in town. Available in a wide range of different colors, the Redwing 44 is both functional and fashionable. Its got a single aluminum stay and an HDPE framesheet to equip the Redwing 44 with lightweight support. A contoured and of course, padded waist belt offers comfortable load support.

Kelty's patented Scherer Cinch uses a pulley-like system to double the tightening force on the waistbelt, ensuring that the majority of the backpack's weight is borne by your hips. When you aren't carrying heavy loads and don't need the additional support, you can remove the waistbelt entirely and reduce the weight of the pack.

Anatomically curved and padded shoulder straps can be quickly and easily adjusted, allowing the Redwing 44 to accommodate torso lengths ranging from 14.5'' to 18.5''. Load lifter straps relieve stress on your shoulders and an adjustable sternum strap positions the shoulder straps across the chest to prevent chafing under the arms and on the shoulders.
