The Aircontact Lite series backpacks from Deuter are designed for longer (high) tours or trekking trips and impress with their low weight – including the Aircontact Lite 40 + 10. This backpack is equipped with all the practical features one could wish for: The main compartment can be divided into two sections by closing the integrated divider. Typically, the lower section is used for storing a sleeping bag or clothing items that should remain separate. Access to the contents of the backpack is provided through the top opening. The absence of a front access saves weight in combination with lightweight materials: For a volume of 40 + 10 liters, this Deuter trekking backpack weighs a remarkably light 1,680 grams! If you want to temporarily store a wet rain jacket, you can place it in the front wet compartment made of breathable mesh fabric. The side compression straps allow the main and sleeping bag compartments to be adjusted to the actual volume used. The lid compartment is height-adjustable, allowing the additional 10 liters to be filled efficiently without compromising functionality. The Aircontact 40 + 10 supports fluid management with two side mesh pockets and a hydration system preparation. What truly makes this backpack a workhorse is its Aircontact Lite carrying system: With aluminum profile rails in an X-shape, the load is optimally distributed onto the hip belt, which, with its substantial padding, ensures high carrying comfort.
