Gear Review Kelty Drifter Hydration Pack

[Deadeye008]

I pick up this pack just this week and wanted to post my first impressions here in case others were interested. Sierra Trading Post has these on closeout for around $18 plus I used a 35% off coupon to make it about $12 plus shipping. The pack seems really well made. It has quite a bit of storage for being a hydration pack. See pictures below. The main compartment holds the water bladder and has quite a bit of room for other things. There is an outside open-top compartment where you could put a hard shell or other articles. There is a cinch strap on the top of the open-top pouch to tighten it down. The third compartment is a small zip compartment on the outside. It has a key ring inside and a couple of mesh pockets. I actually got this pack for my boy after he used my slightly larger day pack while hiking last weekend. This one fits him a bit better but is still large enough to be used by an adult. Pack specs list volume at 550 cubic inches(9L) and weight at 20oz.

So this included the bladder and you got it for $12? Sweet.

Yep, bladder included. Thinking about picking up one more just because they are so inexpensive, even though I have two other small daypacks/hydration packs.
