Hit the trails or complete your vintage gorpcore aesthetic with
this classic 1992-era "Redwing" internal frame backpack from Kelty.
Highly regarded for its rugged engineering and legendary load distribution,
this pack features a dual internal aluminum stave support secured by
tight hook-and-loop enclosures. Woven from a heavy-duty, water-resistant
tactical nylon canvas in a timeless olive green and black colorway. Designed
for comprehensive gear organization, it boasts a massive top-loading main compartment
alongside two elongated side zip-pockets and dual front zip-compartments.
Outfitted with a thick, ergonomically padded waist belt, adjustable padded
shoulder straps, a sternum strap, and rugged branded zippers finished with
distinct yellow utility ribbon pulls.

structurally sound, and completely ready for use.

Seller Fleet Note: I have an identical second unit of this exact vintage
Kelty Redwing pack available in stock! The second pack is identical in
size and layout, with the exception of one side-pocket zipper currently
seized due to vintage storage corrosion. If you are interested in
purchasing both packs as a pair for a custom restoration, rental fleet, or
parts backup, please message me directly prior to checkout. I will gladly
supply additional photos, adjust the item pricing, and consolidate the
shipping weight variables for you.
- Care:
Machine or hand wash or spot clean with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and
air dry. Remove metal staves prior to machine washing!
