Product Description
For hikers who demand excellence and durability at an affordable price, the Red Cloud delivers. A large pack, you'll still find it easy to load with the top loading design and sleeping bag compartment; however, you won't have any issues finding what you need with the front-panel access and zippered side pockets. The lid of the pack also converts into a lumbar pack, which saves you weight by not having to carry an extra day pack. Hydration and snacks won't be an issue either with its hydration compatible design and hip belt pockets for small items. The Red Cloud is designed to be fully adjustable to fit your torso length and carry a heavy load, providing unmatched stability and comfort on the trail which results in a trusted pack for all your expeditions. The Light Beam(tm) dual aluminum stays are connected to the hip belt providing direct load transfer while the Anti-barreling stays keep the scapula pad flat-even if the pack is overloaded. The HDPE-reinforced, dual density waist belt improves load-support and enhances overall carrying comfort as well while the dual positions for load-lifters straps keeps the pack weight from shifting. Finally, the AirMesh shoulder straps, waist belt, and lumbar pad are designed to keep air moving through and keep you comfortable all day. Hip belt can be removed.. Body Fabric: 420D Polyester Ball Shadow. Reinforcement Fabric: 450D Polyester Oxford. Suspension: Cloud lock II(tm) Adjustable Suspension.

Great product, great company service behind it too.

I spent many days traveling to all the different outdoor retailers looking at larger backpacks, I had my choices down to 3. The Kelty Red Cloud 90, REI Mars 85, and the Gregory Baltoro 75. I narrowed that to the Kelty and the Gregory. For suspension cant beat the Gregory, but for the price I would expect that. The Kelty had a excellent suspension as well, I tried it in the store loaded for about an hour walking around and was surprised at the comfort level.Ultimately you need to buy what fits you best, and no one manufacturer fits all so try them all and see what fits you, but if you are considering the Kelty red cloud, I would give it positive review and recommend it highly.As a side note, I wanted to have some extra buckles for field repair, just in case, I called service, they sent them to me for free.Hard to find any company these days that still remember customer service.

amazing pack
By iamdylan
This Backpack is the behemoth beast of the kelty line of expedition packs dwarfed only by the red cloud 110. This bag easily fits most of the basic necessities i.e.(sleeping bag, clothes, food, cookware, hygiene, bladder, tent all on the inside of the pack. it is a little heavy on its own coming in at a little over six pounds so its not you ultralight style pack by any means, but if you dont mind weight and want plenty of room this is your pack. Im not a very big guy at around six feet and 150 160 lbs. and this pack still fits great the torso adjust system is excellent and the adjustments make for a very comfortable hike even with alot of weight. PLan on taking this pack on a cross country trip in may so ill update after to let you know how it stood up to non stop use

Kelty Red Cloud 90
By C. Smith
Purchased this pack for a Grand Canyon trip as my old pack had seen better days. I purchased the pack based on reviews, price and capacity. The pack itself is well built and has plenty of options to suit most longer distance trips 5-10 days. Of course, what one would put in the pack is going to be based on where the trip is, climate, experience, money etc. For me, the pack carries what I need and does it well. I will be carrying up to 70 lbs total for hopefully short durations on my trip. This pack handles the weight fairly well for the price. As others have mentioned, the so-called bottle holders on the side are not fit to hold bottles. They do hold plenty of smaller quick access items. I have not noticed buckle slippage that others report. However, I do not mind making adjustments as the day progresses and plan on it actually to maintain comfort. Bending the frame to fit is a bit of a chore but can be a rewarding "custom" fit. Yes, this pack requires bending (if needed) of the frame stays to accomodate various body profiles. The instructions are very basic but they'll give you the basic concept. I have noticed the waist belt padding will slip up leaving the belt itself digging a bit on my hips. An easy adjustment and I am good to go but some additional stitching would remedy this. I would like the bottom to be of a sturdier (water proof) material as I can see abrasion on the bottom of the pack over time wearing the material out or creating holes. All in all, A good affordable pack that should last me a long time and get me through my various adventures.
