Top features of the Aircontact Lite 45 + 10 SL

ADJUSTABLE FOR COMFORT

This pack features the VariQuick system that allows quick and easy adjustment of the back length for the ideal fit.

ERGONOMIC HIP FINS FOR BACK COMFORT

These compact, ergonomic ECL hip fins can be adjusted for stability and a custom fit, ensuring efficient load transfer. Special padding hugs the hips for added comfort and stability, while an additional cut-out along the back promotes ventilation and reduces pressure on the spine.

SUPERIOR VENTILATION FOR A DRY BACK

The Aircontact Lite back, made with open-cell, hollow-chamber foam padding, provides excellent breathability and balances comfort with lightweight design, perfect for efficient load transfer.

SL Women’s Fit

This model is also available in an SL version, tailored specifically for women, as they generally have shorter back lengths compared to men. The carrying system in the SL model is slightly shorter than in Deuter's standard backpacks and is specially shaped to fit women's anatomy. More information about our .

When carrying high loads, the best way to go is when the carrier and backpack work as a cohesive unit. That’s where our Aircontact principle shines: the carrying system rests directly on the body, keeping the load close to your center of gravity, giving you complete control and efficient load transfer. Plus, the breathable Aircontact back pad assures pleasant ventilation, thanks to a pump effect with every move.

PFAS free

This Deuter product is free from intentionally used PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals), reducing the use of substances known to be harmful to the environment and health.

In outdoor products, PFAS is primarily utilized for water repellency.

Since 2019, Deuter has opted for alternative DWR (Durable Water Repellency) treatments instead.
