Compartmentalized Camping Gear — Everything has its place in the Kelty PK 50 backpack, made for backpacking beginners looking for direction on how to stow gear in a pack (as well as experts obsessed with organization). The pack has no zippers — instead, a roll-top body and fold-out panels offer all the storage space.
It can carry 50 liters’ worth of gear. Clothing has its own compartment. So does your tent and sleeping bag. (You can put your sleeping bag in the compartment with or without a stuff sack.) There’s a rain cover, stretch exterior pockets, compression straps, and other goodies.
It sounds busy. But we thought the design was smart, especially for anyone looking to get more organized on the trail. Weight is 3lbs, 1oz. when empty. $199.95.
