The new deuter AC Lite backpacks come in two distinct designs: some models feature a top-loading opening with a spacious lid compartment, while others have a front zipper that provides access to the main compartment. It’s a perfect backpack for those who need a versatile piece of gear that can be used for anything from a fun family outing to a more demanding mountain hike. The deuter AC Lite is a lightweight backpack that meets all your needs.

Carefully balancing weight with comfort and featuring smart functional details, the AC Lite is ideal for day hikes. The Aircomfort back system provides effective ventilation and reduces perspiration by up to 25%. This, in turn, minimizes strain on the circulatory system and helps save energy. The lightweight steel frame structure provides both stability and flexibility, allowing your back to relax even on long walks. With its ergonomic construction and specially selected materials, this backpack offers excellent comfort-to-weight performance.




Quick access to contents
The front-loading models (15 SL, 17, 21 SL, 23 and 25 EL) are equipped with a long and durable zipper running the full length of the backpack, making it easy to access the main compartment. Perfect for those moments when you need to grab food, maps, a rain jacket, or a camera. This zipper has a small cover that hides the pull tab when closed, making it harder to open while the user is wearing the pack. The AC Lite 14 SL, 16, 22 SL, 24, 28 SL, 30, and 32 EL models feature a classic design with a top-loading opening and a lid. This wide opening allows quick and easy access to the spacious main compartment. Some AC Lite models include a compartment for a hydration system of up to 3 liters.


A versatile hiking backpack
The backpack offers extra storage space with a phone pocket and a lid pocket (the latter only on top-loading models). In addition, the AC Lite includes loops for trekking poles, a sunglasses holder on the shoulder strap, and an integrated rain cover that is easy to use and removable when not needed. A helmet attachment accessory can also be purchased separately if desired.
