It weighs 2920 g and uses Deuter's Aircontact back system with the VariClick adjustable back length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong trips and expeditions where organisation matters as much as capacity. The Pro is heavier than the Core by around 500 g, and every gram of that is compartments, tougher fabric and the detachable lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you pack in dry bags and do not want the extra pockets, the Core carries the same load for less weight and less money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the +10 means.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lid extends. A 45+10 carries 45 litres packed normally and 55 with the lid raised, which is the difference between a week and a fortnight, or between carrying your own food and carrying someone else's too. It is not a model number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75 litres extending to 85 — genuine expedition capacity, for long unsupported trips or carrying a share of group equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame \u003cstrong\u003eAircontact back system\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVariClick\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustment as the Core, in a tougher build: \u003cstrong\u003e200D recycled ripstop\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than plain, which resists tearing on rock and scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elid detaches and becomes a daypack\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the Pro's real argument.

Deuter's VariClick system adjusts back length on these packs, with two anchor positions for the stabiliser straps, so there is real range in one pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoad the hip belt first and get 80% of the weight onto your hips. Shoulder straps only stop the pack falling backwards; if they are carrying the load, the pack is wrongly adjusted rather than wrongly sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpty it after every trip and let it dry fully before storing — a damp pack in a cupboard grows mould in the foam you cannot reach. Wash by hand in cool water when it needs it, never in a machine, and never with detergent that strips the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deuter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45560294703213,"sku":"10514410001OS","price":928.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/1708\/1197\/files\/deuter-backpacks-aircontact-pro-75-10-1256186864.png?v=1788062351","url":"https:\/\/ozbackcountry.co.nz\/products\/aircontact-pro-75-10","provider":"Oz Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
