I just found one like this. but its green, has a rain cover (it looks as if it where made for it??), it has three compartments inside, and a very small backpack compartment...its a pretty small capacity bag....It's in great shape. I was excited to find it. I've never even seen the Kelty pack Glendale logo before.....does anyone know anything about this pack i describe here? if so please let me know.

I remember packs whose top flap was secured by a cord tied at the bottom. Then came toggles (cord clamps). Then ladder buckles for webbing. Then the quick-release buckles that today are ubiquitous. I have an REI day pack from the late 70s or early 80s that has metal zippers on the pockets.

This Kelty looks similar to the 1974 B4 model; which is an open pack bag with no compartments. Any Kelty from Glendale is rare, and in this condition...Super! v
