Always ready for a hike!
If you are planning to head out on a more demanding weekend hike or a week-long trekking expedition, where the goal is to reach your desired destination using many different modes of transport (including your own feet), you certainly won't choose a suitcase or a wheeled travel bag as your luggage. Every true traveler knows that most significant natural landmarks are not located in the middle of a tourist resort, but rather in terrain that is often lined only with narrow paths, which are also frequently affected by the whims of the weather.
The multi-purpose backpack Deuter Aircontact 75+10 is quite well prepared for all the pitfalls that lurk at every step. And with it, so will you be! It is designed so that you can use it versatilely in the field even if you are traveling to distant corners through metropolises that are definitely worth a more thorough exploration.

What does the Aircontact offer?
- Space for storing clothing and equipment suitable for various occasions. You will use casual clothing when staying in the city, while you will appreciate functional clothing and footwear especially in the rough and wet terrain of mountains and forests.
- An airy and highly comfortable back system allowing for air circulation.
- A movable hip belt (Variflex system), which optimally adapts during movement and ensures stability as well as better weight distribution of the carried items.
- Double-layered shoulder straps with rich padding, which hold their shape and, in combination with the back panel, significantly increase comfort when walking and moving both in the city and outside it. You will also appreciate these functional features in moments when, for example, you are forced to stand in an endless queue for check-in at the airport hall, or when using public transport where you do not have the option to put your backpack down anywhere.
- An integrated rain cover is part of the backpack, so you will be prepared for bad weather at all times. In a huge downpour or in places with high air humidity, you will always have something dry to change into at hand.
- In addition to the durable outer material, the Aircontact is adapted for demanding travel on the inside as well. Thanks to the internal pockets, you will not only have an overview of all small items, but you can also sort your clothing and equipment with a clear conscience according to the order in which you will use them.
Using space well and filling a backpack to the brim are, however, two very different things. Do not forget, therefore, that if you are heading out on weekend trips or a week-long hike into nature, where you like to spend nights in a tent or under the stars, you will have to carry the entire weight of the luggage on your shoulders even in more demanding terrain. When preparing your equipment, you should therefore take this fact into account. Otherwise, you can calmly use the Deuter Aircontact backpack for shorter journeys as well. The backpack will always carry well for you, you just need to count on its larger dimensions and weight (for example, due to transport).
How to maximize the potential of the Aircontact backpack?
- Store things that get dirty quickly (shoes, sports and climbing equipment) in the separate lower part of the compartment.
- Place used and dirty clothing that you will no longer use continuously into the lower part as well, where it will not bother you in any way. The rest of the clean clothing will remain stored in the main compartment.
- Pack your clothes so that the heaviest items (trousers, sweaters) are at the bottom, while the lightest ones (t-shirts, tank tops) are at the very top.
- Thanks to the front loading, you can easily get into the main compartment, which you can supplement with underwear, socks, swimwear, and similar small items by packing the neatly folded items first. This will ensure their stability and prevent wrinkling.
- You can place toiletries and the necessary first aid kit either in the lid of the backpack, where an integrated pocket is located, or in the upper part of the main compartment, where you will always have easy access to them.
The Deuter Aircontact 75+10 backpack is simply prepared to fulfill even the most demanding task that travelers, regardless of height, age, or gender, are faced with. If you are one of those enthusiasts who have taken a liking to top-loading backpacks, then you surely know that packing clothes into a backpack so that they do not wrinkle, and are not buried in a single spot at the bottom of the backpack, is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Do you need to get to your things immediately? With Aircontact, that is not and will not be a problem! The backpack is equipped with a U-shaped front zipper, which separates the main compartment from the separate lower part!
