My second Redwing 50 Tact. Works as intended and fits my needs very well. Have used this same style for several years. Just as my last one, the zippers are just so-so. I am rough on these bags. So when the "Tactical" came out I expected a little more; well. I can see already that next year I will be replacing this one due to zippers. Don't get me wrong folks. Its a good over all bag. Tough for everyday use. Heavier material than it's counter part. Same roominess and lots of pockets. If Kelty would upgrade the zippers it would a GREAT bag. I guess Kelty needs us to keep coming back.

The pack is as advertised. It is made of thicker more water resident material (visible in my pics), with most of the same features as the normal Redwing 50. It had a pocket for lens or screen protection which is new option I didn't have in my other Kelty packs. I wasn't happy that it doesn't have the perfect fit adjustments and the tactical shoulder strap connections though stronger are not as comfortable. I think the shoulder strap connections would be better if the tops were rounded instead of square. I am exited to test this pack and a side by side comparison to my other Redwing 50L pack leads me to think it will do great.

Great bag. Secures to the body really well. Holds a 3L water bladder with ease. I use it for camping and a day pack. I have also used it as a hiking bag on day trips.

I use this to carry my art supplies to where I paint.It was recommended by another painter. It’s very roomy and we’ll made with tons of areas to store supplies.

Good overall design, with one flaw. I own many "tactical" bags. Some I have used for work and some as emergency bags. Most of these have been from Maxpedition.My camping backpacks have always been from Kelty however, as these are better designed for that purpose.I was recently looking for a 44 to 50 liter backback for travel and knew from many years of experience that I wanted something with a stronger build than the typical camping backpack with 200 denier polyester fabric. Since Maxpedition didn't make a backpack with comfort of a true camping backpack in 50 liters, I thought the Kelty Tactical with its 500 denier nylon fabric would fit the bill. I loved everything about this bag , except for the zippers. My intent for the pack was for carry on use, but I wanted a bag that could handle the rough treatment I've seen from the airlines should I have to check the pack (I was planing on reworking the zipper pulls to make them lockable if I kept the pack).While the 500 denier ballistic nylon on the Kelty could handle a trip through an airline baggage system, I kept comparing the zippers on the Kelty to those on my Maxpedition bags and really could not trust them; so I sent the Kelty back to Amazon for a refund. When you travel as much as I do and have had as many unexpected events occur in airports around the world, you really need to have confidence in your equipment. Kelty, please upgrade your zippers and I will be happy to use your back pack in my travels.

Great pack so far. I have not used it on the trail yet but am doing so soon. Fits a lot of stuff, good for a weekend camping/hiking trip. The pack feels like it was made with quality materials and functionality in mind. I will update the review after spending a few days camping and hiking with it.Update. Great pack so far. I have two complaints.-The shoulder straps are not very adjustable. If you do not adjust them to the tightest setting the pack is going to press into your upper shoulders.-The waist strap is very small. I am a 34 waist and I have it at the tightest setting.If Kelty changed these two features this pack would be the best pack on the market. The pockets are well placed, zippers feel great, and functions and features are perfect for long hikes in the bush. I have a lot of experience with tactical packs and hiking and wanted the extra heft of of the material, as opposed to the regular Redwing but could do with adjustable shoulder straps and larger waist belt.
