Extra-Large Hiking Pack
Deuter’s ergonomic Aircontact 65 + 10 is a standout hiking pack when it comes to comfort.

The integrated daypack of the Deuter Aircontact is especially well suited for short journeys and excursions with little luggage. On longer journeys, you may be more flexible and spontaneous with it. Additionally, the newly added pocket, which is located on one side of the hip belt, you can quickly access your drink and food whenever you want.
