For the half-shell helmet there are attachment clips at the front of the backpack.

MORE SPACE: through two new straps
MORE SPACE: Two new straps that stow away inside the rain cover pocket can be used to quickly attach protective gear to the lower pack, leaving more space inside.

ORGANIZED thanks to a clever compartment design
ORGANIZED: The clever compartment design (dedicated hydration compartment, cell phone pocket, at-a-glance tool compartment, two zippered pockets on the hip fins, two side pockets and the option to extend the pack’s capacity) helps keep contents well organized.


AIRSTRIPES SYSTEM


SL Women’s Fit
This model is also available in the SL version. The SL back length is specific for women: on average, women have shorter backs than men. The carrying system in the SL model is therefore somewhat shorter than in the Deuter standard backpacks. In addition, the carrying system is specially adapted to the female anatomy. More information about our fits.

- 3D AirMesh lined shoulder straps. Anatomically formed, they guarantee comfortable movement range. The chest strap further secures the fit.
- Breathable Mesh wings on the hip belt stabilize the load.
- Two contour-shaped layers of knobbly foam with AirMesh lining and minimal back contact provide maximum airflow.
- Flexible aluminium stays within the foam profile can be bent to fit the back exactly. (Bike I, Superbike and Trans Alpine).

Made without PFAS
This deuter product was manufactured by us without the use of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals. This reduces the use of substances that are harmful to the environment and health.
PFAS is used, among other things, as a coating for rain protection, as they have water, dirt and grease-repellent properties.
Instead, deuter now uses DWR (Durable Water Repellency) impregnation, which is harmless to health and environmentally friendly.
