Fill it up, or strap it down! The versatile Coyote features the load-bearing, easily adjustable Cloudlock II suspension system, quick access pockets, durable design, and an unbeatable price.
Looking for the perfect long-weekend pack? Look no further than the Kelty women's Coyote 4500, which includes an internal women's-specific suspension system with a narrow profile for comfort and speed. The Coyote 4500 is built to support you over the long haul, with such ergonomic features as a padded, breathable back panel with Spacer mesh, padded two-layer shoulder straps, a padded two-layer waist belt, a sternum strap, belt stabilizers, and load-lifter straps. The 4,500-cubic-inch pack is also incredibly sturdy thanks to the tough construction, which includes a body made of 420-denier nylon micro ripstop and a reinforcement fabric made of 600-denier polyester kodra and 500-denier nylon kodra. And as with the best modern packs, the Coyote 4500 is hydration compatible, so you can easily satiate your thirst while on the move.
Perhaps the most important feature, however, is the ample amount of storage space. The pack includes such chambers as top- and front-loading main compartments, a large front pocket with organization, zippered side pockets, a fleece-lined optics pocket, a security pocket, and mesh water bottle pockets. And as a bonus, the pack's top lid detaches and converts to a fanny pack, making it easy to take day hikes from your base camp. Other details include lash tabs, a daisy chain, side compression straps, a spindrift collar, a reservoir sleeve, an HDPE frame sheet, aluminum stays, and a Scherer Cinch.
The Coyote 4500 measures 16.5 by 36 by 16 inches (W x H x D), weighs 5 pounds 6 ounces, and fits torsos in the range of 12 to 17 inches. All Kelty packs carry a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

First, i have to admit that i have not used this on a trip yet (i'm planning too, and i'll write another review later to compare my thoughts afterwards). I've worn it around, and have put various weights in the bag to test it out (from 15-40 lbs). I am very pleased with the pack. It has tons of straps to allow the pack to be as compact as possible so nothing moves around. There are multiple pockets... a spot for every thing you need. It seems like every time i unload and load it back up i find a new strap or a new storage area. The pack was well thought out. Kelty provided mini pouches on the waist belt it can hold about 4 energy bars in each...
Second, I'm 5'7" and 180 LBS. and the pack was probably just the right fit after adjusting every thing to where it needed to be. But, the adjustable frame was slightly past it's limit due to the lack of velcro to hold it (actually i had to add a little piece of duct tape around the strap where the velcro normally was in order to hold it in place... but it did the Job...). The pack is amazingly comfortable. With 40 lbs in it i could jump around and the pack would move right along with me.
It's great! I almost feel like skipping my semester of school in order to go hiking for a few months. I'll be going on spring break so i can test it to it's fullest and then i'll be able to give a better opinion. Right now it's the best pack i ever owned and have used.

This is an amazing backpack that I received as a gift. I plan to use it to hike the Appalachian Trail, and other various places. The backpack has many compartments and great adjustments to ensure comfort. The only complaint I have is that the directions are extremely vague in regards to getting the straps to the correct settings. Other than that it is overall a great backpacking backpack.
