Deuter Aircontact Core

The SL stands for Slim Line, which is Deuter's women-specific fit. These packs feature a slightly shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps, and conical-shaped hip fins designed to better accommodate the female anatomy.

Yes, the pack uses the VariSlide system, which allows you to easily slide the harness up or down to match your specific torso length. This ensures the weight is correctly transferred to your hips rather than hanging on your shoulders.

The pack has a base capacity of 45 liters, but it features an extendable lid that provides an additional 10 liters of storage space. This is useful for longer trips where you might need extra room for food or gear that you didn't need at the start of your journey.

The Aircontact back system is designed specifically for ventilation. It uses Air Spacer mesh and a large central channel to promote airflow between your back and the pack, helping to reduce heat buildup.

These hip fins are designed to pivot and move with your body as you walk. By following your natural gait, they help maintain your balance on uneven terrain and prevent the pack from shifting uncomfortably while you move.

At 29.53 inches in height, this pack exceeds the standard carry-on size limits for most major airlines. You will likely need to check this bag when flying.
