Kelty (company)

Kelty (owned by American Recreation Products) is a manufacturer of backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags. They are currently 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 rather than military.

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.

Distribution

Today, Kelty is distributed primarily through these channels:

*Outdoor specialty stores like REI and Cabelas
*Online retailers like Ebags.com
