Short trails or a full day of hiking, the Radii 27 is a pack that foots the bill. I put the pack through the paces on the Robb Hollow Trail in the Mt. Lebanon suburb of Pittsburgh. The pack is spacious, so I packed it to the gills – filled hydration reservoir, water bottles, camera, snacks, binoculars, first aid kit, rain jacket, and extra clothing layers. It even has some ingenious places to pack small items such as the zippered pockets in the waist belt. The contents in the pack were over twenty pounds. The Radii 27 performed up the respected Kelty name. The pack did not weigh me down on the hike. Also, my back did not become lathered in sweat due to the ventilation in the back panel and the breathable materials used in Radii 27. The Radii 27 comes with the following features:
What sets the Radii 27 backpack apart from other daypacks is Kelty's AeroFlyTM suspension system. This includes shoulder straps that are anatomically shaped to provide the best fit. Another feature of the AeroflyTM suspension system is the waist belt which is designed to help transfer and control the load of the pack. The sternum strap also provides support and assists in stabilizing the pack's weight. The waist belt, back panel, and shoulder straps are breathable and allows for perspiration to be wicked away quickly. The zipper design used in the Radii 27 is water resistant which will help when caught in a downpour.
