Kelty Journey PerfectFit

The Kelty Journey PerfectFit is the entry point in Kelty's child-carrier line, with 17 litres of storage for the child's and parent's extra gear and a carrier weight of 2990 g before you add the child. It's built specifically for carrying a child on the trail, with the line's focus on comfort and safety rather than the extra features found on the Elite or Signature versions above it. With less storage than its 26-litre siblings, it suits shorter outings and day hikes where you don't need to carry a full kit of spare layers, nappies and snacks — for longer treks with a child, the Elite's larger 26 L capacity is the better match.
