Further enhancing the stability, Deuter have included a sternum strap that helps with distributing the weight of those heavier loads; this can be removed when not needed. The two Aircontact cushioned pads are breathable, allowing uncomfortable heat build-up trapped between the body and the bag to escape. The cushioned pads and back panel further create a ventilating hollow chamber that with every movement.
The stabilising Active Fit shoulder straps, with soft edges, adapt to the wearer's shoulder width and angle for increased comfort and even weight distribution. Additionally, load adjustment straps on the shoulder allow quick and easy adjustment for the optimal position of the backpack. VariFlex ECL hip fins ensure the optimum fit that follows complex movements that are essential when carrying heavy loads, ensuring stability when navigating tricky terrain.

Side compression straps help to compress the volume of the backpack, bringing it closer to your core muscles for even weight distribution. A bottom compartment with a removable separator is ideal for quick gear access and allows you to customise load distribution.
