Ultimate comfort without limits: deuter unveils the Aircontact Pro

Leading backpack specialist deuter unveils the Aircontact Pro, its latest high-spec, feature-packed backpack built for the most demanding self-supported journeys. Designed for adventure seekers tackling rugged trails, remote landscapes, and extended journeys, the Aircontact Pro offers exceptional durability, adaptability, and comfort.

When you’re on the move, carrying your own gear for days at a time, comfort and support are essential. The Aircontact Pro’s ergonomic design, enhanced adjustability, and innovative Aircontact back system ensure a precise, personalised fit, even under heavy loads. Its stabilising aluminium Y-frame and lumbar pad effectively distribute weight, while the Air Spacer mesh on the back padding enhances ventilation.

The Aircontact back system features a VariSlide adjustment, allowing users to fine-tune the fit to their back length. VariFlex hip fins and pivoting ActiveFit shoulder straps further customise the pack’s fit, ensuring freedom of movement and maximum stability. The stabiliser straps can be positioned at two different heights to fine-tune the gap between the pack and your back, for the ideal carrying position and even load distribution.

The top-loading Aircontact Pro backpack is available in Regular fit (75+10 or 85+10) and a Slim Line (SL) model, designed to better accommodate many women’s body proportions (75+10 SL). With plenty of space for gear like a tent, sleeping mat, stove, food, and camping cookware, this pack is perfect for multi-day expeditions. A separate bottom compartment, U-shaped front opening, zippered front pocket, and mesh internal compartments make gear access quick and effortless.

For hydration, the pack accommodates up to a 3L hydration system and features a fold-out 1.5L bottle holster for easy access on the move. The removable backpack lid also doubles as a daypack, ideal for short excursions. Constructed from durable, high-performance materials, the Aircontact Pro withstands rocky trails, dense forests, and extreme conditions. A built-in rain cover keeps your gear dry when the weather turns.

Guy Millership, deuter UK Country Manager, explains: “Whether you’re trekking the West Highland Way, the Alps or the Andes, outdoor adventures are about freedom and connecting with nature. But to truly enjoy the journey, having the right gear is essential. Our new Aircontact Pro series delivers advanced fit and comfort technology, durable materials, and smart design features—supporting you every step of the way on your next backpacking journey.”
