Kelty (company)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelty is a manufacturer of backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags owned by American Recreation Products. They are based in Boulder, Colorado and were started by Asher "Dick" Kelty (Sep. 13, 1919 - Jan. 12, 2004), who was one of the first gear designers to produce and market an external-frame backpack designed specifically for civilian use.[1]
Kelty products are widely sold by large outdoor outfitters such as Eastern Mountain Sports and REI, and Kelty is one of a few companies that still specializes in external-frame backpacks for outdoors use.
