Review on Kelty Redwing 44 Liter Backpack Port by Elizabeth Carlo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bag for its price. Looks better than Farpoint IMHO.

First off, I picked this case purely for the cost and looks compared to the Osprey Farpoint. Just got back from a 2 week trip to Asia and this bag is a champion. I have taken it as hand luggage, baby bag, tote bag and travel bag. bags for organization) and I will rock this bag or my North Face Surge bag every day before I pick up my wife's Skip Bop bag. Shopping Bag: Holds a lot of things and the chest and waist straps make it very comfortable to carry. : Again, it's a bit heavy due to the construction, but it offers good airflow and is comfortable. Pros: - The zippers were very easy to access and open/close. - I had enough pockets to organize several days of clothes, portable charger, laptop, iPad, baby books, baby diapers and everything you need. The bag was very easy to adjust to my body. Lost ways to make yourself comfortable according to your desires. - Side pockets hide your water bottles, which are larger than usual, which makes the bag look elegant. - Some people mentioned that the handle on the front pocket is weak. ok i thought it works fine. Very useful when trying to throw a bag in the top compartment while exercising your child. Cons: The bag can feel a bit uncomfortable if you sweat a lot. (This can only be a personal issue as I sweat like a hostage in any environment let alone hiking) - I've hit several people on the bus and plane with my lap belts. I believe you can hide the straps with the Farpoint and not with the Redwing. I often have to tuck them behind my back or zip them up so they don't stick out. (Problem) - The Airflow letters on the back of the bag should be white, not teal. Overall a great bag. It's a bit heavier than some other bags due to its construction, but I haven't had any problems with it. I still want to test it on longer trips without a baby, so I'll be in touch.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • For the old
