Deuter Aircontact 50+10 SL hiking bag

The Aircontact 50+10 SL bag is equipped with the famous Air contact system. This system allows carrying close to the body, the weight remains close to the center of gravity of the body, this guarantees complete control and effective load transfer.
The breathable back cushions ensure a very pleasant ventilation by the pumping effect with each movement (15% less perspiration compared to an ordinary backpack).

The specificities of the Deuter Aircontact 50+10 SL bag:

• Quick access to luggage at the bottom of the backpack thanks to the large zippered front opening with backpack lanes
• Aircontact back contact system with a carryover from the top of the load for heavy loads and excellent ventilation by functional foam
• Carry the load without expending your strength thanks to the Variflex stabilizers on the hips which distribute the load evenly and without compression (ergonomic 3D design with contour seams)
• Easy to tighten abdominal belt by Pull-Forward adjustment, it also adjusts for heavy loads
• Maximum comfort, the Active Fit mobile straps adapt according to the morphology of each one
• Load control by compression strap on the stabilizers
• Perfect load transfer on the stabilizers on the hips thanks to the mobile X-frame of multi-chamber aluminum profile rails

Technologies used:

Air contact System

• Adjustment straps allow exact positioning of the bag on the back. Thanks to a special "triglide" buckle, the position of the adjustment strap on the shoulder strap can be slightly offset. On Aircontact models from 50+10 SL, two attachment points placed at different heights allow the optimum angle of the position adjustment straps to be obtained when adjusting to the back length.

• The Vari Flex system guarantees great mobility of the stabilizers on the hips. The Vari Flex stabilizers follow complex movements very easily, allowing you to master difficult passages without losing your balance, which is particularly important with heavy loads.

• The ergonomic stabilizers on the hips are made of several layers. For better carrying comfort, the inner layer is made of soft foam covered with 3D AirMesh mesh. The stiffer foam outer layer maintains the ergonomic shape and shifts the load to the hips. Lateral compression straps on the stabilizers regulate load transfer and increase stability. On ACT Lite stabilizers, this bi-laminate construction is optimized to combine weight reduction and load distribution. Aircontact models designed for heavier loads optimize stability and load transfer thanks to polyethylene reinforcement between the foam layers.

• Ergonomic X frame made of crossed aluminum frames. This system, both flexible and stable, reacts to every movement of the body and transfers the load to the lumbar belt.

• Ergonomic 3D Air Mesh shoulder straps.

• Vari-Quick system for back length adjustment.




SL Women's Fit System

• Shorter backs
• Women have on average a shorter back than men. The carrying system of the SL models is therefore designed shorter than for the standard backpacks from Deuter.
• Narrower straps
• Soft-Edge edges on both sides, smaller buckles and very narrow shoulder strap ends prevent the straps from chafing at the armpits or compressing the chest. Also, the shoulder straps are closer together, to prevent them from slipping.
• Conical hip stabilizers.
• To perfectly fit the female hips, with their characteristic curve, the lumbar belt, once closed, must be conical in shape.
• This taper is obtained by the upward inclination of the opening point and the curved shape of the SL stabilizers arranged at hip level.
• The seat of the backpack is oriented towards the average sporty build. Not everyone conforms to the norm, so female models can be suitable for men, and vice versa. Specifically for larger volume backpacks, the seat must be perfect. If the original Vari-Quick shoulder straps are therefore not suitable, they can be exchanged for SL shoulder straps on standard backpacks and baby carriers from Deuter, all in a jiffy. Conversely, SL suspenders can be exchanged for standard Vari-Quick suspenders, which are more suitable for larger builds.
