Review on Kelty Coyote 60-105 Liter Backpack, Men'S And Women'S (2020 Update) - Hiking, Backpacking, Travel Backpack by Shawn Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Kelly Coyote 85L vs Teton Outfitter 4600 sort of.

Just received my new Kelty Coyote 85L pack. I will update as soon as I get a hike/camping adventure in.First impressions of this pack (new 2020 model), it no longer has the pass-through, to the main compartment, on the front, and no longer has the detachable upper old that can be used as a day pack. That is disappointing as the old model had all of that. The waistband is almost too small in length for a guy that is 5'9" and about 290lbs. However, it is just long enough, and just wearing around the yard is fine. You have to reach back to get to the side pockets on the waist belt.The Positives, comfortable pack I load with approx 25lbs of gear and walked around with it. Looks great and durable. Love the olive green color with the orange pulls on the zippers. Zippers look to be of good quality. The entire pack looks to be of really good quality. The pass-through pockets are cool. If you are a hunter you could put a rifle on one side and put your tent on the other side.Conclusion, I think I'm some ways the older design was better and there is some room for improvement but I would not hesitate to recommend this pack to a friend. I bought it on ebay when it was almost $50 off the regular price. It was between this one and the Teton Outfitter 4600 75 liter pack. I was going to buy the Teton until the price drop occurred on the Kelty. The Teton has pass access to the main pack on the top and front. It also has a detachable lid that can be used as a day pack. Colors were not as good and the Kelty was 10 more liters.
