Deuter Aircontact Core SL Women's Backpack Series Review
The Enwild Difference
A great all-around backpack, the Deuter Aircontact Core 45+10 SL Women's pack is comfortable for long days of hiking and offers the versatility of additional storage for extended adventures.
Deuter's SL packs are designed to fit a woman's form, as well as narrower and shorter builds that might not experience the best fit from standard-sized packs. The hipbelt has a conical shape to provide a proper anatomical fit for wider hips, and the shoulder straps are set closer together, are narrower and shorter in length, and have a distinct S-shape and narrower tapered strap ends to prevent chafing under the arms and eliminate pressure points in the chest area.
Breathable and extremely porous Air Spacer Mesh and an ergonomic lumbar pad on the suspension grants the pack padded comfort and ventilation while the Y-frame construction creates direct load transfer for stability and control when hauling heavy loads. Deuter's VariSlide system adjusts to fit torso length ranging from 13.8"-22," making it easy to adjust the pack for an ideal fit. Adjustability in the padded shoulder straps and pivoting VariFlex hip belt aids in both comfort and fit. A sternum strap on the harness provides final fit adjustments.
The main packbag has two access points for easy organization. The top-loading spindrift collar has compression straps to cinch down the load and can be expanded to offer an additional ten liters of storage. A separate lower compartment for a sleeping bag or other gear has a removeable divider in case you need open access to the full length of the packbag. A floating lid has a large, zippered pocket with a key clip.
On the outside, there are three stretch mesh pockets on the sides and front, as well as loops and adjustable bungees for attaching trekking poles and other gear. Multiple compression straps help stabilize the load and can also be used to secure a tent or sleeping pad to the outside of the pack. Other special features include an SOS instructions label, zippered hipbelt pockets, and a stow system for sunglasses on the front harness. A sleeve in the main compartment and built-in tube exit points make the pack compatible with a hydration system (sold separately).
The Deuter Aircontact Core 45+10 SL Women's internal frame backpack is available in your choice of colors.
