Kelty Trekker 3950 (2009) External Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! Over half a century ago, Dick Kelty unveiled a rugged and reliable pack for avid backpackers. Based on that simple, classic design, the Kelty Trekker 3950 external frame pack remains a trail favorite, providing load hauling capability, convenient access points and fit adjustability.

The Trekker 3950’s rigid aluminum frame provides excellent stability and support. In fact, if you’re carrying heavy loads over well-maintained trails and even terrain, it’s hard to beat an external frame pack. However, it is important to remember that the rigidity of an external frame can hamper flexibility for off-trail scrambling.

A fully adjustable suspension system accommodates torso lengths ranging from 16-22". The Trekker 3950’s ventilated backpanel, adjustable dual-density waistbelt and padded shoulder straps work together to further enhance fit. Belt stabilizer straps help to transfer weight onto the hips. The elt stabilizer straps help to transfer weight onto the hips. The Trekker 3950’s adjustable sternum strap fine tunes the positioning of the shoulder straps across the chest to prevent chafing under the arms.

Equipped with many zippered pockets, the Trekker 3950 allows you to separate and organize gear while providing quick and easy access to whatever you might need while on the trail. An integrated spindrift collar on the top-loading main packbag enables you to carry even more gear. An internal "hold-open" bar keeps the packbag open, making it easier to pack your gear.

Other features found on the Trekker 3950 include an enclosed sleeping bag compartment, a lid pocket, zippered side pockets, a mesh water bottle pocket, a daisy chain attachment system, lash points and an ice-axe loop. A lined internal sleeve makes the Trekker 3950 hydration compatible.

The Kelty Tioga 3950 is available in a Woods Green/Gray color scheme.
