Kelty Asher 85 Rucksack - Winter Moss

The Kelty Asher 85 is the largest pack in the Asher range, and Kelty's go-to pack for multi-day backpacking trips with heavy loads. The range is named after Asher "Dick" Kelty, who started the company in his garage, and Kelty design every Asher pack to get you into the backcountry with minimal fuss and maximum fun.

Its advanced perimeter frame has a supplemental centre stay for the heaviest loads, the FIT-Pro system adjusts the torso length from 39 to 53cm, and an AMP-Flow back panel keeps air moving. You can get into the main compartment from the top, through a large J-zip on the side, or through the zipped sleeping bag compartment at the base. There is a large zipped front pocket, a lid pocket, a trail stash pocket, two mesh side pockets with compression straps, and a hip belt pocket on each side: mesh on the right, zipped on the left.

It weighs 2.21kg, has a waist belt range of 76 to 132cm, and Kelty suggest an optimal load of 22.5 to 31.75kg. Empty, it packs down to 68 x 40 x 17cm. This is the Winter Moss colourway: mid green with lighter green trim and olive straps.
