Kelty Glendale Backpack
Best high-capacity pack for long-haul wilderness expeditions.
This is a cavernous hauler built for the kind of multi-week treks that require carrying your entire life on your back. While the sheer volume can be overwhelming for shorter trips, the adjustable suspension system makes managing that heavy load surprisingly comfortable for long-distance hikers.
