Vintage Kelty External Frame Backpack/Rucksack

A vintage, probably 70's Kelty external frame backpack in perfect working order. Has seen very light use and has years of life left in it. All zips/buckles work and the fabric is in excellent condition.

 They threw the baby out with the bath water when they stopped making these, there is simply no better way to carry a heavy load than an external frame pack (in my humble opinion). The pack can be removed from the frame so that bulky, ungainly loads can be carried, making it ideal for transporting tools, hunting gear or even field dressed game.

There are two main compartments with four side pockets, with an area at the base for strapping a tent or sleeping back (straps included). One of the advantages of this kind of pack is the way it lets you organize your kit into different categories. Has a very comfortable harness and belt system. Ventilation is excellent as there is an air gap between the pack and the wearers back. The size is Large so will fit the average to larger size person and the top bar can be removed to give better head room. Equally at home in the Sierras or the Cairngorms!
