Description

The Aircontact Core 45+10 SL is Deuter's women's-fit backpacking pack: 45 litres with a 10 litre extendable lid, on the Aircontact back system with ventilation channels and Air Spacer mesh. The SL fit means a shorter carrying system shaped for a woman's build, adjustable across a 35-56 cm back length, with a recommended load of 10-20 kg.

Who it's for

Multi-day trekking on a women's fit. Deuter rate it five out of five for trekking, and it is built around a 10-20 kg load.

Capacity, and what actually fits

The +10 is real litres, not a model number. The lid is height-adjustable, so the pack carries 45 litres packed normally and 55 with the lid raised.

The lid also detaches, there is a wet compartment inside for anything damp, and the hip fin has a fold-out holster that takes a 1.5 L bottle. A rain cover is included.

How it carries

A Y-shaped aluminium frame and Deuter's ECL (Ergonomic Comfort Lock) put the load on your hips. The ActiveBalance shoulder straps and VariFlex hip fins pivot as you walk, and the Aircontact back pairs Air Spacer mesh with ventilation channels so air moves between you and the pack.

Fitting it

SL is Deuter's women's fit, and it is a genuinely different pack rather than a colourway: the carrying system is shorter than Deuter's standard packs and adapted to a woman's build. Deuter's five-stage VariClick system clicks the back length through sizes from S (36-40 cm) to L (46-50 cm), for body heights of 158-178 cm, and two anchor positions for the stabiliser straps fine-tune it.

Access and organisation

A wide U-shaped front zip opens the main compartment so you can reach the thing at the bottom without unpacking everything above it, and there is a separate bottom compartment as well as the drawcord top. Side pockets, hip fin pockets, a front mesh pocket, a glasses stow and a key clip keep the small things to hand.

500D textured nylon main fabric with 235D recycled nylon as the secondary fabric, made without intentionally added PFAS.

Weight

2170 g empty, measuring 82 x 32 x 27 cm (L x W x D). Deuter's recommended load is 10-20 kg.
