Very good backpack with a comfortable carrying system. The possibility of opening the main compartment both from the top and the bottom is very practical, as is the option to increase the capacity by 10 liters. It’s worth buying a rain cover because the backpack is not waterproof, although it can withstand light rain for a short time. It is light for its size. This is a great choice for people who prefer a traditional carrying system instead of a mesh back. The price is quite high, but justified due to its solid construction and great functionality.
Deuter Aircontact lite 40 + 10 l Backpack - Atlantic/Ink
Backpack with a capacity of 40 liters, made of a combination of 140D polyamide and 600D polyester, which provide high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage. Thanks to the drawstring chimney, hidden under the top flap, the capacity of the backpack can be increased by an additional 10 liters, which allows you to flexibly adjust the space to your needs. The backpack is equipped with two spacious compartments, which allow you to conveniently arrange the necessary equipment. The compact design and numerous pockets make this model perfect for both weekend excursions and longer field trips.
two main compartments, straps and mounting loops
The backpack features two main compartments, which can be combined into one larger one, allowing for flexible space management. The upper compartment is closed with a flap, while the lower compartment is zippered, providing quick access to the contents. Enlarging the backpack's capacity is made possible by a pull-out drawstring chimney located under the flap. Inside the compartment there is a pocket for a reservoir with a maximum capacity of 3 liters, which allows convenient hydration during long hikes. On the front of the backpack there is a spacious elastic pocket and loops, which allow you to attach additional equipment, such as a helmet. There are loops on the sides designed to cinch an ice axe or trekking poles, and elastic side pockets allow you to conveniently carry a water bottle or water bottle. A lower compartment and an additional pocket in the top flap of the backpack provide space for a sleeping bag, boots or wet clothing.
Aircontact Lite carrying system, VariQuick system
The backpack is equipped with a chest strap and a hip belt with two small pockets for storing small items. Compression straps allow to effectively reduce the volume of the backpack, adjusting it to the user's current needs. The model is distinguished by the Aircontact Lite carry system, which increases the comfort of long-distance carrying. Foam panels ensure even weight distribution and eliminate pressure points on the back, preventing chafing, while the foam used dynamically adapts to the pace of walking, promoting air circulation. Aluminum rails arranged in an X-shape further stiffen the back panel, improving the backpack's stability and fit on the back.
Precise adjustment is provided by the VariQuick system, which allows the backpack to adapt to the user's height and body structure. The S-shaped, mesh-covered carrying straps on the inside improve carrying comfort and ventilation, while the adjustable Vari-Flex hip belt with soft foam prevents chafing.
