The History of the Kelty Company

Dick and his wife Nena began designing and making framed backpacks in 1952. By 1956, Dick was able to quit his job and concentrate on the business full-time. In 1963, the Keltys supplied an American expedition to Mt. Everest. The product line continued to expand and in 1981 included luggage. The Keltys produced a women specific catalog in 1987.

Living in Boulder, Colorado, close to the Rocky Mountains, provides the ultimate backyard for testing and developing products. In 1990, the company incorporated camping gear for the entire family. Keeping up with the times, in 2001, the product line included hydration packs and jogging strollers. By 2005, camouflage fabrics were being used to manufacture products.
