Kelty Glendale

The Glendale features an adjustable torso and waist belt system that allows you to customize the fit to your specific measurements. With a torso range of 14-21 inches and a waist belt capacity of 27-56 inches, it is designed to accommodate a wide variety of hikers and ensure the load sits comfortably on your hips rather than your shoulders.

Yes, it is built for extended backcountry excursions. The internal perimeter frame is engineered to handle an optimal carry weight of 30-60 pounds, providing the structural stability needed to distribute heavy gear effectively over long distances.

The pack includes a side J-zip, which allows you to open the main compartment from the side for quick access to items without having to unpack the entire bag from the top. This is particularly useful when you need to grab a rain jacket or extra layer quickly on the trail.

The Glendale is hydration compatible, meaning it is designed to work with most standard hydration reservoirs. While it doesn't require a specific brand, you should ensure your bladder fits within the internal sleeve dimensions.

The exterior is constructed with durable 300D Velocity and 600D Polyester Oxford fabrics and features a PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. While it offers solid water resistance to protect your gear during light rain, it is not fully waterproof, so we recommend using a pack cover or dry bags for heavy downpours.

Yes, the Glendale features a women's specific ergonomic design. This includes adjustments to the harness shape and waist belt geometry to better contour to a female frame, improving overall comfort and load stability.
