This is the perfect mix of a large capacity pack with adjustments to grow with my son. We will have to be careful to not overload his 110 lb body. Being a Kelty with a lifetime warranty this pack should last many years.
Dislikes:
The pack is a bit heavy,

Excellent Quality! Lighter weight than previous year versions. Have not tried it out in the field yet but have other Kelty backpacks and am happy with the quality and feel of Kelty products.
Dislikes:
This version's shoulder, back, and hip pads do not seem as 'beefy' as prior versions but as I said have not tried it out yet.

I bought this pack for my son to use on an 11 day backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch. Originally bought the full size Red Cloud but he was at the very bottom end of the adjustability for torso length. This 'ST' version is a perfect fit for his 5ft 6in frame without giving up much space. Initial quality of fabrics, straps, etc., looks good. Being able to access the main compartment from the top and the front is a nice feature. This is a nice pack for the price.
Dislikes:
This is not a heavy backpack, but it is not light either. The 2009 model is a little lighter than the 2008, but I would still have liked it to be lighter.

Purchased this for my son along with the larger Kelty Red Cloud 5600 for me. Very happy with both. The torso adjustment on the Red Cloud 5600 was ideal for a first-year Boy Scout and allows ample room to grow. Easy to adjust and very comfortable. Excellent value for the money.
Dislikes:
Top lid is supposed to convert to a fanny pack, but this would require actually unthreading a couple straps that don't have disconnect buckles. Not a simple process. Otherwise, the pack design is very well thought out.
