Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack

I've used this pack about 7 days on the snow now. For day/resort use it's the perfect size - not too big, but big enough for your lunch, layers and a beverage. It's super light weight, which is nice. I would have given it 5 stars if had a way to stash a helmet.

What can you say? I wanted a bag small enough to carry my daily items yet not too large to be over bearing. It's big enough to carry my son's ipad and a few litre bottles of water. Being so small you can hardly feel the weight when you put it on. I haven't, tried a water bladder buy i think one up to 3L would fit just fine. Would buy again and definately from sunnysports. This is my second order from them and never had any issues.

I was interested in trying to lighten up my daypack as I tend to take everything under the sun on hikes. I have an Osprey Stratos 24 (no longer made) that I really love, but I wanted something lighter and smaller and simpler. The Deuter Speed Lite 20 really delivers all that and more. It is very light--just over a pound, so in addition to working well as a daypack, it would be great as a summit pack when backpacking. I chose the Deuter for several reasons: The shoulder straps are burly--as burly as a much larger pack. Most of the ultralight packs have very thin shoulder straps and when carrying a fairly heavy load can become very uncomfortable. The Speed Lite 20 has the heaviest duty shoulder straps of any in that class I checked out. It is very very comfortable on the trail. It has side compression straps that can loop around so that you can use the pack to carry snowshoes, skis, a jacket, etc. Nice feature for an ultralight pack. The stuffit pocket on the back is well-thought out and holds items securely. Side mesh pockets for water bottles, etc (also fits a bladder). This is a simple, elegant, yet feature-rich ultralight daypack. I highly recommend it.
