{"product_id":"deuter-ac-lite-28-sl","title":"AC Lite 28 SL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter AC Lite 28 SL is a full-day hiking pack shaped for women, with a ventilated mesh back that keeps air moving between you and the load. Twenty-eight litres takes the water, layers and lunch for a long day, and it still weighs under a kilo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen heading out for the whole day who want room for proper kit and a cool back on the climbs. Deuter give it five out of five for hiking, and the 3-6 kg recommended load covers a big day: the Border Track from Binna Burra to O'Reilly's, a summit of Mount Barney's easier ridge, or a long circuit in the Grampians. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28 litres swallows a 3 L hydration bladder in its sleeve, a rain shell and a fleece, lunch for two, a first aid kit and a head torch, with the lid for snacks and the side pocket for your phone. The mesh side pocket carries a bottle, and it measures 59 x 30 x 23 cm. Step down to the AC Lite 14 SL if your days are shorter and lighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA round steel frame flexes to hold the mesh back in an arc, so the pack body never sits flat against you and sweat has somewhere to go. The same frame spreads the load evenly across your back. Padded hip fins carry weight onto your hips, and the sternum strap slides two ways so it sits right across your chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSL is Deuter's women's fit, with a shorter back and a harness shaped for women's shoulders and hips. The AC Lite 28 SL suits back lengths of 38-48 cm, which Deuter match to walkers around 158-178 cm tall. Load it with a few kilos, snug the hip fins on your hip bones, then pull in the shoulder straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment opens at the top under a drawcord and lid, with a pocket on the outside of the lid and a zipped one inside. Poles strap to the outside, attachment loops take extra gear, and there is a glasses stow loop on the shoulder strap and a key clip inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-loading main compartment with drawcord and lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal and internal lid pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide smartphone pocket and a mesh side pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable rain cover included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePole attachment, gear loops, glasses stow, key clip, SOS label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady for a mesh helmet holder (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e950 g for 28 litres, with a full steel-framed ventilated back.
