Great backpack, the carrying system is very comfortable, and the ability to open the main compartment from both the top and the bottom is very useful, just like the option to increase the capacity by 10L. I recommend buying a rain cover, as the backpack is not waterproof (although it can handle light rain for a short time). The backpack is lightweight for its size. If someone is not a fan of suspended mesh back systems and prefers traditional carrying systems, this backpack is for them. The price is quite high, but it is worth it for the quality of workmanship and high functionality.
Deuter Aircontact lite 40 + 10 l Backpack - Atlantic/Ink
High-capacity backpack crafted from a blend of 140D polyamide and 600D polyester. Featuring a drawstring chimney concealed beneath the top flap, the main volume of 40 liters can be expanded by an additional 10 liters. Outfitted with two generous compartments, the pack effortlessly holds all essential equipment. The compact profile and multiple pockets make it an ideal choice for weekend excursions.
two main compartments, straps and mounting loops
Featuring two main compartments, the backpack allows these sections to be merged into a single, larger space. The top compartment closes with a flap, while the bottom one secures with a zipper. Capacity expansion is facilitated by an extendable drawstring chimney situated beneath the top flap. Inside, a dedicated pocket is designed to hold a reservoir with a maximum volume of 3 liters. The front panel includes a spacious stretch pocket and loops suitable for securing a helmet or other gear. Side loops provide attachment points for additional accessories, such as trekking poles or ice axes. Both the right and left sides are equipped with elastic pockets that can easily accommodate a bottle or flask. Compartments located at the bottom and within the top flap offer storage for items like a sleeping bag, boots, or wet garments. For added support and convenience, the backpack includes a chest strap as well as a hip belt featuring two small pockets. Effective reduction of the backpack’s volume is achieved using compression straps.
Aircontact Lite carrying system, VariQuick system
Enhanced comfort during extended treks is delivered by the Aircontact Lite carrying system. Designed with foam panels, the system promotes optimal weight distribution and eliminates pressure points along the back, effectively preventing any chafing. The innovative foam construction flexibly responds to walking rhythm, ensuring sufficient air flow. Additional support is provided by aluminum rods shaped like the letter X, allowing the carrying system to closely contour to the user’s back.
The precise fit is achieved through the VariQuick system, which enables adjustment of the backpack according to the user’s height and physique. S-shaped shoulder straps lined with mesh on the inner side deliver both superior comfort and ventilation. For further protection against chafing, the adjustable Vari-Flex hip belt is padded with soft foam.

The backpack is quite large and spacious. Quite comfortable to carry, even when fully loaded. It will be suitable for long hikes in the field. Solidly made. I recommend it.
