Backpack Construction
The SL carry system boasts a women's specific fit; the slightly shorter pack helps to distribute weight evenly. Constructed with an anatomically profiled X-frame, the crossed aluminium is stable and flexible, designed to follow the body's movements for ease of movement whilst transferring weight on the hips. For easy adjustment to any back length, the VariQuick system offers a bigger contract surface making the backpack even more compact and comfortable to carry. The VariQuick system and a height adjustable lid allow the pack to be adjusted to your specific needs for even weight distribution and increased comfort. Engineered to make heavier loads feel lightweight to carry, the Aircontact Lite 45 boasts Deuter's Aircontact system. Designed to perfectly adapt to the wearer's back the backpack holds the load close to the body's centre of gravity for increased stability and even weight distribution. The two Aircontact cushioned pads are breathable allowing uncomfortable heat build-up trapped between the body and the bag to escape. The cushioned pads further create a ventilating hollow chamber that with every movement, creates a pump effect that circulates cool air resulting in 15% less perspiration.
The stabilising shoulder straps adapt to the wearer's shoulder width and angle for increased comfort and even weight distribution. Additionally, load adjustment straps on the shoulder allow quick and easy adjustment for the optimal position of the backpack. The "Triglide" buckle allows the straps to be easily positioned, with two different fixing points (depending on the back length setting) to optimise the load adjustor strap angle.
New, complex pivoting Variflex hip fins ensure the optimum fit that follows complex movements that are essential when carrying heavy loads ensuring stability when navigating tricky terrain. The hip fins are made of multiple layers of soft and firm foam with additional reinforcement. The fins evenly distribute the load evenly and avoid pressure points with additional padding for increased comfort. A pull forward function allows for quick and easy adjustment and fasting even when carrying heavy loads.
