Deuter Aircontact Ultra 40+5 backpack 2024

This lightweight backpack benefits from an outstanding comfort-to-weight ratio (with a removable lid and compression straps when every gram counts). The deuter Aircontact back system equally keeps the weight down, but above all creates ventilation across the back. The length of the back is adjusted via Clip & Loop system and ergonomic hip fins create a snug, comfortable fit while distributing the load effectively. The hard-wearing ripstop body fabric made from performance fibers is also built to withstand the rigors of thru-hiking.

Easy-on-the-back mesh covering
The reduced contact surface of the Aircontact back system's Air Spacer mesh cuts weight while generating increased ventilation across the back. The simple Clip & Loop back length adjustment and ergonomically shpaed hip fins create a tailored fit with superior carrying comfort over long distances.

Light weight for more energy
Reduced to the essentials, the lightweight pack expertly balances comfort and weight, so you can devote more energy to the trail. And its hardwearing ripstop fabric made from performance fibers means this pack can withstand anything you throw at it. The lid can be removed to shave off extra weight, using a drawcord and press stud closure to seal the main compartment.

Modular gear straps for flexibility
Depending on what you're undertaking, the lid can be detached, and the modular gear straps repositioned to attach a range of items.

PFAS free
This product is free from PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS have water, dirt and grease repellent properties but they are persistent chemicals and harmful to people, animals, and the environment. Instead, deuter uses durable water-repellent finishes (DWR) that are environmentally sound and harmless to human and animal health, and free from these ‘forever chemicals’.

Climatepartner certified product
By adopting more materials and technologies that have a smaller carbon footprint in our collections we are taking positive steps toward reducing our CO² emissions. But despite our greatest efforts, it’s impossible to make products climate neutral. And so, we’ve teamed up with Climate Partner to offset any unavoidable CO² emissions. From now on, the volume of emissions released by the production and transport of any ClimatePartner certified deuter product purchased will be compensated for through voluntary offsetting and targeted investment in select social and climate protection projects.
