Spacious Deuter Hiking Backpack
When it comes to carrying comfort, Deuter’s ergonomic Aircontact 65 + 10 hiking backpack is hard to beat. Because the Aircontact Backpack’s ergonomic V-frame distributes the bulk of the weight to the hips, it can be comfortably worn for extended periods.
The Aircontact’s integrated 10 L daypack is particularly well-suited for short trips and vacations where little baggage is required. For longer journeys, you may be able to be more adaptable and spontaneous with the additional storage space in the main compartment.
Importantly, because of the push button mechanism on the Aircontact Pro 65 + 10, the contents will remain secure where they are no matter the terrain. Furthermore, the newly incorporated pocket on the side of the hip belt allows you to easily access trail snacks anytime you want.
The interior compartment holds important items like a cell phone and wallet in place and concealed from prying eyes. In addition, the elastic inner pocket is perfect for keeping wet clothing or a hydration reservoir.
Finally, the Deuter Aircontact Backpack is equipped with external load-adjustment compression straps as well as a handy connection point for hiking poles.
