Awesome Backpack

As a seasoned backpacker who owned the same pack for ten years, I was skeptical about getting a new backpack, but the Aircontact has exceeded all of my expectations in a modern trekking pack. The brain is enormous. I fill it with books, lights, a hat and lots of snacks. The bottom compartment is perfect for my sleeping bag, and other various things I can fit in there. The main compartment goes on for days! I have yet to feel constrained on space. So happy with it ;)

Awesome Backpack

As a seasoned backpacker who owned the same pack for ten years, I was skeptical about getting a new backpack, but the Aircontact has exceeded all of my expectations in a modern trekking pack. The brain is enormous. I fill it with books, lights, a hat and lots of snacks. The bottom compartment is perfect for my sleeping bag, and other various things I can fit in there.

It has gained the titles of "indestructible" and "custom-made." That's how it will stay, although the popular trekking backpack is now up to 15% lighter. The new, ergonomically shaped hip fins flow into the back construction and literally embrace the body.

This allows even heavier loads to be carried easily and close to the body's centre of gravity. In addition, nature loving hikers and trekkers can store everything they need, from their tent to provisions. On top of that the Aircontact, which is also a great travel backpack, lets you use its lid as a separate, detachable small backpack.

Highlights of Aircontact 65+10

Aircontact System
The easiest way to carry heavy loads is when backpack and wearer become one. This is what our Aircontact principle is all about: the body contact system brings the weight close to the body and therefore close to the center of gravity. This results in full pack control and an effective load transfer. Furthermore, our Aircontact cushions made from special hollow chamber foam guarantee fantastic ventilation due to the pump effect of every movement.

Active Comfort Fit

Vari Quick System
For easy adjustment to any back length.

X-Frame

Adjustable Lid
A height adjustable lid provides additional space.

Bottom Compartment
With removable separator for ideal gear access and load placement.

Front Opening
A zipped opening on the front of the pack provides easy access to lower packed items.

Padded Hip Belt
An additional padding on the hip belt provides more carrying comfort.

Vari Flex System
Deuter's Vari Flex System, leaving the generous hip fins fully mobile. The Vari Flex hip fins follow even the most complex movements allowing tricky sections to be negotiated without losing yor balance - especially important when carrying a hefty load.

Sternum Strap
The sternum strap stabilizes the pack on the shoulders.

Rain Cover
Removable rain cover with special pocket

Stretch Compartment
stretch compartment on the inside of the back to stowe sweaty/wet clothes

SOS-Label
provides the most important tips in case of emergency

Aircontact System Back System

Designed For Lightening Heavy Loads
Perfect load transfer to the hip belt due to the adjustable and flexible multi-chamber aluminium X-frame. Offering the perfect fit, it sits close to the back and keeps the load incredibly stable and well-controlled close to the body's centre of gravity.

Excellent Ventilation
Due to open cell foam technology. With every movement air circulates through the cushions keeping the back ventilated. The result: 15% less perspiration than with other body-contour packs. (proven in a field test conducted by Gabriel L.&T. in co-operation with the University of Erlangen/Germany)

The Perfect Fit
Of the carrying system for different back lengths is guaranteed by the multi-stage Vari Quick adjustment system.

Pivoting Variflex Hipbelt Reduces Fatigue
And with its ergonomic 3D design, shaped by sewing craftsmanship, the load gets evenly distributed without any pressure points.

Maximum Comfort
pivoting Active Fit shoulder harness adapts individually to the wearer

Material

100D PA High Tenacity
The lightweight version of our Nylon Pocket Rip. The thin yarn is extremely lightweight. Yet the tight weave makes it extremely abrasion and tear resistant.

• D stands for Denier. It describes the weight of the yarn. 600D is equivalent to 600 grams per 9000 meters.
• PES stands for polyester. PES fibers are very tear and abrasion resistant and absorb hardly any moisture.
• PA stands for polyamide. PA fibers are extremely durable and abrasion resistant. In addition, they are characterized by high elasticity and low weight.
