{"product_id":"deuter-ac-lite-30","title":"AC Lite 30","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter AC Lite 30 is a roomy day pack with a mesh back that keeps air moving between you and the load. Under a kilo, with space for a full day's kit plus the extra layers a shoulder-season walk calls for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay hikers who carry the lot: plenty of water, a warm layer, a shell, lunch and a camera. Deuter rate it five out of five for hiking, and the 3-6 kg recommended load covers a big day out, whether that is the Lamington Border Track in summer humidity, the Grand Canyon track in the Blue Mountains or a cool autumn climb of Mount Feathertop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 litres swallows a 3 L hydration bladder in its own compartment, a rain jacket and a puffy, lunch, a first aid kit and a head torch, with room left for a camera or a beanie and gloves. Mesh side pockets take bottles, and the pack measures 59 x 32 x 25 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA round-profile spring steel frame tensions the Aircomfort mesh so the pack body sits clear of your back and the breeze gets through. The frame spreads the load evenly, ergonomic padded hip fins take weight onto your hips, and a 2-way adjustable sternum strap steadies the harness on the climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC Lite 30 is one size for back lengths of 44-54 cm, which Deuter match to walkers around 170-195 cm tall. Inside that range, it fits. Shorter backs should look at the women's SL models, such as the AC Lite 15 SL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment is a top-loader with a drawcord under a lid. The lid has an outside pocket for snacks and sunscreen and an inside pocket for keys on their clip. A side smartphone pocket keeps your phone handy without taking the pack off, and a glasses stow loop sits on the shoulder strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-loader with drawcord and lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal and internal lid pockets, key clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide smartphone pocket and mesh side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePole attachment and attachment loops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable rain cover included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e980 g for 30 litres with a framed, ventilated back.
