Kelty Yukon 2900 (2009) External Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! The Kelty Yukon 2900 external frame pack is the classic scout backpack. Providing rugged, reliable performance, the Yukon 2900 offers adjustability for a wide range of torso lengths, including those still too short to fit in standard "adult" packs.

The Yukon 2900’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 an array of torso lengths, ranging from 13"-19". Though many other external frame packs offer torso adjustability, few will accommodate a torso shorter than 16" in length. The Yukon 2900’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 Yukon 2900’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 Yukon 2900 allows you to separate and organize gear while providing quick and easy access to whatever you might need while on the trail. An internal "hold-open" bar keeps the top-loading main packbag open, making it easier to pack your gear.

Other features found on the Yukon 2900 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 Yukon 2900 hydration compatible.

The Kelty Yukon 2900 is available in a Woods Green/Gray color scheme.
