Deuter Aircontact 75+10 (2009) Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! Deuter's largest Aircontact model, the Aircontact 75+10 boasts an array of features and a trail-tested German suspension system. A standard capacity of 4550 cubic inches, increasing to 5200 cubic inches with the use of an extendible spindrift collar equips the Aircontact 75+10 for multi-day and extended-length hiking trips.

An anatomically shaped X-frame works in tandem with breathable, hollow chamber foam to grant the Aircontact 75+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 17"-22" 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 75+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 75+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 75+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 75+10.

The Aircontact 75+10 has an Anthracite/Steel color scheme.
