Default Kelty

My hubby and I are in the market for some new outdoor gear. Mostly hiking backpacks and tents. We have been looking at the Kelty brandname a lot. Just wondering if anyone has any complaints about them?

Can't say I have any complaints about Kelty, but I don't see a lot of their stuff in outdoors/adventure stores. It's usually at Wal-Mart and places similar, so I guess it's just about your budget...

The only complaint I have with mine is I did not buy a big enough one.

I have the child carrier they make. I love it. Great product, no complaints, other then there is not enough room.

The child carrier was actually what got us looking at Kelty to start with. That and Nutnfancy on youtube seems to have Kelty everything. We are working within a pretty tight budget but I want something that's going to hold up.

If your looking on a budget you might want to look into L.L. Bean. All of their backpacks and gear has a lifetime replacement warranty.
