Backpack Construction
The Deuter Aircontact Lite 45 - 10 SL Backpack has been constructed with an anatomically profiled X-frame, the crossed aluminium is stable and flexible, designed to follow the body's movements for ease of movement whilst transferring weight on the hips. For easy adjustment to any back length, the VariQuick system offers a bigger contract surface making the backpack even more compact and comfortable to carry. The VariQuick system and a height adjustable lid allow the pack to be adjusted to your specific needs for even weight distribution and increased comfort. Engineered to make heavier loads feel lightweight to carry, the Aircontact Lite 45 boasts Deuter's Aircontact system. Designed to perfectly adapt to the wearer's back the backpack holds the load close to the body's centre of gravity for increased stability and even weight distribution. The two Aircontact cushioned pads are breathable allowing uncomfortable heat build-up trapped between the body and the bag to escape. The cushioned pads further create a ventilating hollow chamber that with every movement, creates a pump effect that circulates cool air resulting in 15% less perspiration.
