Kelty Glendale 85

The Kelty Glendale 85 is the 85-liter version in the Glendale line for multi-day trekking, mechanically simpler than its larger sibling the Glendale 105 — it uses a standard internal frame instead of an anti-barreling aluminum stay, and the fabric is 300D Velocity Polyester alone rather than the 105's 300D/600D combination. At 2410 g the weight matches the larger, higher-capacity Glendale 105, but the smaller volume here produces a less favorable ratio of 28.4 g per liter versus 23 g/l on the 105 — more weight per liter of carrying capacity. The main compartment opens three ways: top lid, front J-zip, and bottom access. Storage includes one front pocket, two side pockets, a padded hip belt with pockets, and hydration-reservoir compatibility, though there's no integrated rain cover. The pack suits multi-day trips where 85 liters covers winter gear or an extended stretch without resupply, but anyone prioritizing the lowest weight per liter might look at the 105-liter version with its more refined frame instead.
