Description

The Aircontact Core 70+10 is Deuter's big trekking pack: 70 litres with a 10 litre extendable lid, at 2460 g, built around a recommended 10-20 kg load. It carries on Deuter's Aircontact back system with an aluminium Y-frame and five-stage VariClick back-length adjustment across 42-62 cm.

Who it's for

Trekking. Deuter rate it five out of five for trekking and four for travel, and it fits back lengths of 42-62 cm and body heights of 170-205 cm.

Capacity, and what actually fits

The +10 is real litres, not a model number. The lid is height-adjustable, so the pack carries 70 litres packed normally and 80 with the lid raised.

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

How it carries

The aluminium Y-frame and Deuter's ECL (Ergonomic Comfort Lock) move the load onto your hips, and Pull-Forward adjustment snugs the hip belt. The ActiveBalance shoulder straps and VariFlex hip fins pivot as you walk, and the Aircontact back runs ventilation channels between the padding and breathable mesh so air moves behind the pack.

Fitting it

Deuter's five-stage VariClick system clicks the back length through sizes from S (42-46 cm) to L (52-56 cm), and two anchor positions for the stabiliser straps fine-tune the fit for different builds.

Access and organisation

A 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. Large side pockets open from both sides, with generous hip fin pockets, a front mesh pocket, a glasses stow and a key clip.

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

Weight

2460 g empty, measuring 90 x 37 x 30 cm (L x W x D). Deuter's recommended load is 10-20 kg.
