Review on Kelty Coyote Backpack: Unleash Your Adventure With 2020 Upgrade - Men'S And Women'S, 60-105 Liters For Hiking, Backpacking And Travel by Arunprasath Elliott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mostly good, a few complaints

I do not know who in the world designed this part of the pack, but they should be fired immediately, as should anyone who approved of it.The separator between the sleeping bag compartment and the main pack section is the DUMBEST thing I have ever seen on a pack, ever.It's literally a thing flap of fabric with two of the little loop and stick whatever things you'd usually use to hold the windows open on a tent.This is so unbelievably stupid, it hurts just to look at it.When I stuffed my sleeping bag into the sleeping bag compartment, it literally just bulged through the MASSIVE gaps left between the two little things that hold the fabric there.I do not have any idea how this made it past everyone involved in the production of this product.The only other complaint that I have is the waist buckle area. Nobody seems to be able to get this right, but when you have a super heavy pack and you tighten it down, the buckle is literally over your navel. It's on your stomach. Why is it SO DIFFICULT for manufacturers to make something that pads that area?I had to go and purchase a separate product that does this. The padding needs to 1.) Be a little bit thicker and softer at the same time, and then also extend further so that you do not NEED a separate thing to pad the buckle.This is so common sense it blows my mind it can be missed at all.I would have given it 4 stars if it weren't for that. And the reasons for missing another star are below.It should also come with a water cover that stores in the top or bottom of the pack.The section to hold a water bladder should be more protected so that when your pack is stuffed with crap, you can actually use the thing and get your bladder in and out. It's a real pain.The holes for the bladder hose should also be on each side, not in the middle. I had such a short hose due to this design oversight that causes the hose to have to be routed in more of a curve than is necessary, causing me to lose just enough length that it's difficult to drink while wearing the pack.Everything else is great. Good pack for the price, just need to fix those things and it'll be 5 stars and my favorite pack ever.
