{"product_id":"deuter-aircontact-lite-40-10","title":"Aircontact Lite 40+10","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter Aircontact Lite 40 + 10 is a trekking pack for walks that run over several days, built to carry a real load and adjust to your back. A 42-62 cm back length range, a load-spreading X-frame and padded hip fins put the weight where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalkers heading out for two to four nights with a lightweight kit, and travellers who want one pack for the trail and the trip. Deuter rate it five out of five for trekking and four for travel, and the 12-15 kg recommended load suits a hut-to-hut trip on the Overland Track, three nights on the Thorsborne Trail or a section of the Bibbulmun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 litres holds a compact sleeping bag and mat, a lightweight tent or a hut kit, a stove and food for a few days, with layers and a rain shell on top. A zip-out divider splits the main compartment, so the sleeping bag can sit in its own space at the bottom. The pack measures 73 x 30 x 25 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn X-frame runs through the back to spread the load evenly from shoulders to hips. Deuter's Aircontact back uses open-cell foam pads with channels between them and breathable 3D mesh, so air moves while the pack stays close and stable. The ECL hip fins have padded inserts that hug your hips, and a cut-out down the back takes pressure off your spine. Pull-forward hip fin adjustment, stabiliser straps and a two-way sternum strap tune the carry as the day goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariQuick lets you slide the harness up or down to match your back length anywhere from 42 to 62 cm, which Deuter match to walkers around 170-205 cm tall. Tighten the hip belt on your hip bones first, then the shoulder straps, then the stabilisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStretch front and side pockets swallow a wet jacket and bottles, the lid has its own pocket, and an inside pocket keeps your wallet and keys safe. An elasticated inner compartment takes damp clothes or a hydration bladder of up to 3 L. The lid comes off when you want a lighter pack for a side trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain compartment with zip-out divider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable lid with lid pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch front pocket and stretch side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside valuables pocket and elasticated inner compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce axe and pole attachments, SOS label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttachment loops for a helmet holder (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1590 g empty for a framed, fully adjustable 40 litre pack.
