Product Review: KEEN Newport Pack – A True “Do It All” Backpack

KEEN NEWPORT PACK

The “KEEN Newport Pack” is one ingenious, do everything, backpack. It is easily at home as a commuter bag, as it is a trail backpack. With some very original features that are hard to find in a pack at any cost.

With a padded laptop compartment and a hydration bladder pocket, padded shoulders, and zippered pockets both inside and out, and a price of $100.00 (msrp), the “KEEN Newport Pack” is truly the all rounder you have been looking for, and at very reasonable price.

One feature that the staffers at Bicycle.net were very excited by was the outside pocket that can carry your helmet when you do get to your destination. This feature came in handy both when we were using it a commuter bag and we got to HQ, as well as when we rode our bike to the trail and then locked the bike up to go on a hike. We just slide our helmet into the outside pocket, tighten the elastic cord, and the helmet was held tight, with no chance of slipping out.

Here is a complete list of all of the features of the “KEEN Newport Pack”:
- 100% recycled aluminum components
- 100% recycled interior liner
- 100% recycled molded rubber bottom
- Adjustable mesh and foam shoulder straps with sternum strap
- Breathable mesh and foam back panel
- Exterior bungee strap compression system
- Exterior stash compartment
- Hidden webbing waist strap
- Hydration bladder pocket with hose outlet
- Interior mesh pockets
- Lightly padded 15.4″ laptop sleeve
- Top side zippered pocket with fleece liner
- Zippered entry into main compartment

This pack is truly a cost effective do it all bag. It is well made, and is earth friendly at the same time. So whether you are looking for a commuter bag, a trail pack, or both, you would do well by checking out the “KEEN”.
