Review Summary
2019-07-20T20:00:00
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 ;)

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.

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.
