Kelty Beam 82 Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

New for 2008! Fully adjustable and sporting an array of high-performance features, the Kelty Beam 82 internal frame backpack is a versatile backcountry offering. With a 5000 cubic inch capacity, an innovative suspension system and supportive padding, the Beam 82 pack is designed for heavy-hauling and extended trips.

Though lightweight, the Beam 82's innovative Aerobeam Suspension provides maximum ventilation as well as stable support for hauling heavy loads. Rugged aluminum I-beam stays grant strength to the Beam 82 and a mesh panel and deeply recessed air channel combine to offer 4-way ventilation. Padded shoulder straps, a padded lumbar support and a padded backpanel help to cushion the load and compress and conform to provide better fit. The height of the shoulder straps can be easily adjusted for varying torso lengths. Load-lifter straps, an adjustable, sliding sternum strap, a padded waistbelt and belt stabilizers further enhance the fit of the Beam 82 and ensure the stability of your load, allowing convenient adjustment while on the trail. Side compression straps allow you to fully secure the contents of the Beam 82 by adjusting for heavy or light loads.

The main compartment of the Beam 82 is accessed from the top of the packbag. An integrated spindrift collar with drawstring closure extends to provide extra room for full loads. A weather-resistant zipper on the front panel of the Beam 82 opens into a large stretch front pocket. Zippered waterproof stretch pockets found on either side of the Beam 82 offer additional storage space. The extendible lid serves as a sizable top pocket and can be removed when not needed. A second, low-profile lid is included for use when the full capacity of the Beam 82 isn't needed.

Dual ergonomic mesh water bottle pockets, zippered waistbelt pockets, numerous lash tabs and ice axe loops add to the Kelty Beam 82's backcountry versatility. A lined interior pocket and dual built-in tube exits make the Beam 82 hydration compatible.
