Product Highlights
Updated for 2009! With an array of features and a trail-tested German-engineered suspension system, the mid-sized Deuter Aircontact 55+10 internal frame pack is built for backcountry adventure. A standard capacity of 3350 cubic inches, increasing to 3950 cubic inches with the use of an extendible spindrift collar, makes the Aircontact 55+10 ideal for long weekend and multi-day hiking trips.
An anatomically shaped X-frame works in tandem with breathable, hollow chamber foam to grant the Aircontact 55+10 load-hauling capability, padded comfort and ventilation. The X-frame offers a balance of rigidity and flexibility that effectively distributes weight. Further enhancing fit, Deuter's Vari-Quick harness system adjusts easily to accommodate torsos ranging from 14"-21" in length. Adjustability in the padded shoulder straps and pivoting Variflex hipbelt aids in both comfort and fit. In addition, a concave molding at the top of the backpanel works in conjunction with the height-adjustable lid to provide a contoured space for head movement, combating the stiff, sore neck often associated with a long day on the trail.
A zippered divider between the Aircontact 55+10's top loading main compartment and front entry sleeping bag compartment allows for organization and separation of wet and dry gear. When hauling longer items or in need of access between the two compartments, you can unzip the divider and convert the Aircontact 55+10 to a single, large compartment. Side bellows pockets offer large storage capacity and even have drinking tube pass-throughs for carrying hydration systems (sold separately). An interior pocket, a zippered lid pocket, elastic side pockets and a small zippered hipbelt pocket provide additional places to store and organize gear.
Other special features of the Aircontact 55+10 include twin ice axe loops, top lid attachment rings, dual front daisy chain attachment systems, an SOS instruction panel and an integrated rain cover for protecting your pack against the elements. A lined hydration sleeve in the main compartment, built-in tube exit points, and a drinking tube clip on the shoulder strap further enhance the backcountry functionality of the Aircontact 55+10.
The Aircontact 55+10 has a Granite/Black color scheme.
