Product Highlights

With an array of features and a trail-tested German-engineered suspension system, the Deuter Aircontact 65+10 internal frame pack is built for backcountry adventure. A standard capacity of 3950 cubic inches, increasing to 4550 cubic inches with the use of an extendible spindrift collar, equips the Aircontact 65+10 for multi-day hiking trips.

An anatomically shaped X-frame works in tandem with breathable, hollow chamber foam to grant the Aircontact 65+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 16"-21.5" 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 65+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 65+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. A streamlined front panel pocket is well-suited for stashing maps.

Other special features of the Aircontact 65+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 65+10.

The Aircontact 65+10 has an Anthracite/Moss color scheme.

Likes: This pack is exceptionally well built. The harness does not have any stress concentrations that result in sore spots on your shoulders, back or waist. The waist strap has a pocket. The strap with the deuter "D" logo on it above the shoulder strap has velcro on the back of it and can be put on either strap. This makes routing hydration tubes possible on either side. Also has a nice rain cover.

The customer service at BCE is great. I called to find out when my order would ship out and I was told that I would receive an email with a tracking number in an hour. 45min later I got the email. The gal on the phone was very nice.

Dislikes: Would be nice if it were a few ounces lighter.
