Description

The Deuter Aircontact Core 55+10 SL is a 55-litre trekking pack that extends to 65 litres with the lid raised. It weighs 2260 g, carries a recommended 10-20 kg, and uses Deuter's Aircontact back system with five-stage VariClick back-length adjustment. SL is Deuter's women's fit, with a shorter carrying system shaped for a woman's build.

Who it's for

Trekking with a women's fit. Deuter rate it five out of five for trekking and four for travel, for a recommended load of 10-20 kg.

Capacity, and what actually fits

What the +10 means. The lid is height-adjustable, so the pack carries 55 litres packed normally and 65 with the lid raised. It is real capacity, not a model number.

The lid also detaches, there is an inner wet compartment for anything damp, and the hip fin has a stowable holder that takes a 1.5 L bottle. A rain cover is included.

How it carries

The Aircontact back system pairs Air Spacer mesh with a ventilation channel, holding the load close while leaving room for air to move. A partially exposed aluminium Y-frame and Deuter's ECL hip fins put the weight on your hips.

ActiveBalance shoulder straps move with you rather than resisting, and the VariFlex hip fins let the belt follow your stride.

What SL means. SL is Deuter's women's fit: the carrying system is shorter than on Deuter's standard packs and adapted to a woman's build. It is a genuinely different pack, not a colourway.

Fitting it

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, with two anchor positions for the stabiliser straps, so there is real range in one pack.

Access and organisation

A U-shaped front zip opens the main compartment without unpacking from the top, and there is a separate bottom compartment. Side pockets open from two sides, with a front mesh pocket, hip fin pockets, a glasses holder and a key clip for the small things.

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

Weight

2260 g empty, measuring 83 x 34 x 29 cm. Deuter's recommended load is 10-20 kg.
