Lightweight Deuter Daypack
Lightweight and sporty, the Deuter Speed Lite 20 Backpack is perfect for hiking trips and impromptu everyday excursions. Notably, the Deuter Speed Lite 20 has a flexible U-frame and an extremely lightweight, ventilated, and padded back panel that ensures even load distribution.
A convenient sunglasses loop and vented inserts are built into the S-shaped shoulder straps for maximum breathability and easy accessory storage. In addition, the exterior reflectors assist in maintaining visibility in low light conditions.
Furthermore, the load adjustment straps may be used to modify the capacity of the pack and to connect trekking poles or other hiking gear that cannot fit within the main compartment.
Expandable water bottle pockets on both sides of the pack, a big accessory pocket in front, and a top utility pocket with zipper closing are among the many additional storage choices on the Deuter Speed Lite 20 Backpack.
When you wish to save even more weight, the breathable hip belt may be removed. To assist with heavier loads, the reinforced base provides pack protection and increases the stability of heavy items when placed down. The versatile Speed Lite 20 is suitable for both men and women.
