Backpacks are where Kelty’s story really begins. Long before the brand became a familiar sight at campsites and trailheads, Dick Kelty was rethinking how loads should be carried and plenty of what he came up with still shapes the packs we use today.

Whether you’re travelling international with something like the Redwing, or heading out for a few days camping with a bigger pack such as the Glendale, the focus is the same: comfort, balance and gear that’s made to be carried. These are packs designed for people who actually go places. Trains, trailheads, long days on foot, and the odd unplanned detour.
