The new ones are not only different in style but they seem to be more cheaply made. I'm not sure if I'll ever find another backpack that will be as loyal and durable a travel companion as the one I have now, which, luckily, is still in great condition and going strong! @Whitfit – It’s always a pleasure to ‘meet’ another Kelty Redwing fan :) I too would buy a bunch if I could find the same version of what we’ve both owned.

Had it for years - since at least 2002, and it is wearing out. I want a new one, but the new one's don't look as good (what the heck is the use of a pocket on the front with a vertical zipper?!? Unless you want to lose your stuff...). I bought this pack on discount without much thought, and over the years have come to realize it is one of the most useful, thoughtful, and all round best packs ever! I use it to go grocery shopping, short backpacking, carry on, all over the world and down the street. It is a hidden gem, and if I find a source I would buy 5 so I can use them for the rest of my life! I have one of these too! Had it for years – since at least 2002, and it is wearing out.

It's such a great backpack. Hey David – Yes, the Redwing 2900 works as a carry-on, even when it is completely filled up! It’s such a great backpack.

Is it small enough to pass as a carry-on? Thanks. I’m leaning toward the Redwing 2900 for an extended trip through SE Asia, S Asia and the Middle East. Is it small enough to pass as a carry-on?
