KELTY WAS BORN OUT OF A GENUINE LOVE FOR THE OUTDOORS.
For Dick Kelty, getting outside was a physical need−and as a result, every single thing he made was handcrafted to make the backcountry feel as accessible and comfortable as his own backyard. As the Father of Modern Backpacking, Kelty has always been dedicated to connecting all kinds of folks with the wonders of the wilderness and encouraging PLAY in its most natural form. Because, let’s face it: nobody works for the Wednesday! And adventure doesn’t have to mean bagging an epic peak. It’s also a truck full of tubes and coolers,it’s baby’s first campout,or a last-minute road trip to whatever festival is happening that weekend. It’s ride-or-die friends, built-to-last gear and a healthy dose of “come what may.”
It’s how we work. It’s WHY we work…because each and every one of us is Built for Play®.
