Deuter AC Lite 21 SL Women's Backpack
The ideal companion for your future day hikes, the AC Lite is a popular lightweight pack with various helpful features to prepare you for all your hiking needs.
A lightweight companion for outdoor adventures, the Deuter AC Lite 21 SL is a women's specific pack that can carry your essentials comfortably. The SL design of this pack fits the smaller back length of the average woman, and specific areas of the backpack have been adapted to the female anatomy. The pack uses an Aircomfort system, which provides maximum ventilation to keep your back cool and comfortable during high-heat adventures. The back system's resilient core uses a round-profile permanent elastic spring steel frame to keep the pack stable and secure, while the special airy mesh prevents overheating, keeping you cool on the move. Sweat is also quickly removed to ensure that your back remains dry when temperatures rise. The mesh back system suspends the bag away from the back for advanced ventilation, allowing cool air to flow between the back and the bag for comfortable wear. This means your back can breathe, and your bag won't become damp with excess moisture, protecting the contents. This back system also prevents items in your bag from jabbing and poking you in the back, reducing the risk of injury. This pack also features padded straps with a breathable mesh membrane, which work to cushion the shoulders from the load of the pack, ensuring pressure is dispersed.
A sternum strap and a waist belt with hip fins provide carrying comfort and help to distribute the weight of your pack. The mesh membrane works to wick sweat away from the body, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable, perfect for long hikes and journeys. The spacious main compartment for fitting in an extra layer, like a waterproof jacket. A central zippered opening allows quick access to your kit without digging or repacking. A multitude of pockets means you have plenty of options and variety when it comes to storage; a zip pocket on the top, a stretch pocket on the side and a side-zippered phone pocket offer easy access, making them perfect for storing anything you might need to grab quickly.
The pack is compatible with a 2L hydration bladder to allow for hydration on the move. The bag is also equipped with a glasses stow system on the shoulder strap, a pole holder and attachment loops that allow you to attach gear with ease. A helmet net can be fitted retroactively, should you wish, and an SOS label will provide emergency information should you get into any trouble. A key clip keeps your keys easily located, and a rain cover helps keep your gear dry. The pack is also an eco-conscious choice thanks to its use of PFA-free water-repellent recycled materials and multiple accreditations (ClimatePartner certified, bluesign certified and Green Button certified). This DWR has the added benefit of keeping your kit dry in light rain.
