Deuter AC Lite 16 Backpack
The new AC Lite is the ideal companion for day hikes. Deuter's popular hiking pack is now even lighter and features their Aircomfort back system for maximum ventilation. A large zipper opening down the full length of the front provides an excellent overview of the contents. A mobile phone, snacks etc. are easy to access in the stretch mesh side pockets. A helmet holder can be attached using dedicated docking loops on the front.
Woven from 600 denier Polyester yarn and with a thick PA coating, the Deuter AC Lite 16 Backpack is tear-resistant, light and highly versatile. This lightweight and extremely robust fabric is perfectly suited to the manufacture of lightweight products. Top-quality PA coating is a highly technical material that is used for lightweight Alpine and Trekking models. The pack features an advanced Aircomfort system to allow cool air to circulate to help regulate temperature and features contoured, softly padded shoulder straps for extra comfort when carrying a heavy weight. The back system has a resilient core using a round-profile permanent elastic spring steel frame to keep the pack stable and secure. Soft-touch hip pads also feature which are specifically designed to have a softer hand feel for added comfort while the adjustable sternum belt and waist belt add stability to heavy loads, ensuring a more comfortable carry.
A main zippered pocket provides exceptional space to store all your essential items, and side mesh pockets offer a space for items you may need close at hand. An external and internal lid compartment offers even further storage space, and a top-loader with drawcord and lid ensures your belongings are locked away safely. A side smartphone pocket enables you to store your phone safely for peace of mind, and a key clip makes finding your key an ease. Attachment loops allow you to add extra storage to the backpack, and an SOS label provides emergency information should you get into any trouble. The backpack features a rain cover for added water protection when the weather should take a turn on your hikes. The backpack is also compatible with a 2.0-litre hydration system. Pole holders enable you to house your trekking poles when not in use safely and lastly, a glasses stow system on the shoulder straps keeps your glasses safely stored. A helmet net can be fitted retroactively, should you wish. The pack is also an eco-conscious choice thanks to its use of PFA-free water-repellent recycled materials and multiple accreditations (ClimatePartner certified, bluesign certified and Green Button certified). This DWR has the added benefit of keeping your kit dry in light rain.
