Deuter Aircontact PRO 70+15 85 L

Roomy and well equipped

The trekking backpack is one of Deuter's flagship solutions. It is equipped with a height-adjustable top valve, thanks to which the useful volume can be increased from a moderate 70 liters to a solid 85 liters. In the latter case, as they say in the reviews, the model will accommodate a tent, a sleeping bag and other necessary equipment for hikes of various durations.

Corresponds to the status of Deuter Aircontact PRO 70 + 15 and equipment. The package includes a rain cover, the usual equipment loops, as well as a tie-down system for adjusting the volume and fixing accessories. Plus, compatibility with drinking systems is claimed: there are corresponding conclusions and places for placing two hydrators with a capacity of 3 liters each at once.

Practical storage system

The lower part of the backpack is separated from the main volume by a removable partition. There is also a special elastic compartment for wet things inside. Access to the main contents is from the top (through the flap), from the bottom (lower pocket zipper) and from the front. For front opening, the Deuter Aircontact PRO 70 + 15 offers a large U-shaped fastener, with which you won’t have to look for the right thing for a long time even with a strong “tamping” of the contents. And the top valve, if necessary, transforms into a small independent backpack.

Numerous pockets complete the storage system: two on the top flap (outside and inside), four side pockets (two each with a zipper and open, for bottles), and one each in front (crab pocket for a jacket or helmet) and on the waist belt.

sits well

The characteristic features of the model include a proprietary suspension system. The anatomical design is combined with a rigid frame, high-quality ventilation and flexible adjustments. You can also adjust the hip belt and chest strap. And even the upper part of the back is thought out: there is a special recess here that does not interfere with head movements. With it, it will be more comfortable to view natural landscapes during the trip.

The price for ergonomics and high-quality equipment is not the lowest price and the rather large weight of the backpack, reaching 3.2 kg. If these are not critical factors for you, then the Deuter Aircontact PRO 70 + 15 is almost the best choice from a time-tested manufacturer.
