New Deuter Speed Lite Pro 2025 Backpacks

The days of trekking with heavy boots and bulky backpacks are behind us. This idea becomes even more appealing with the new gear available today, and the Deuter Speed Lite Pro backpacks are a perfect example. This series of ultralight backpacks from Deuter includes six models that can be used for a variety of activities. The Speed Lite Pro line is incredibly lightweight and offers excellent comfort while maintaining easy access to your gear.

Whether for a quick mountain ascent, a walk through the forest, or a short coastal trail, the Deuter Speed Lite Pro backpack is ultralight, functional, and comfortable. Ideal for hikers looking to cover longer distances quickly and conserve energy by eliminating unnecessary weight.

“We at Deuter are proud to introduce our new Speed Lite Pro line. The exceptional features of our Speed Lite Pro models can be best described in three words: ‘super lightweight, sustainable, and optimized comfort.’ Thanks to our new LiteAir back system, they not only provide better ventilation but also an optimized weight distribution and a weight reduction of about 10%. Additionally, other features have been incorporated to allow easy access to essentials, so you can save energy and fully enjoy the outdoors.” Johannes Braun, deuter Product Manager

The new Deuter Speed Lite Pro is even lighter

The new Deuter Speed Lite Pro surpasses even previous models in the series in terms of lightness. The new models were designed with the “less is more” mindset. The new LiteAir back panel is extremely lightweight and minimalist. It helped reduce the weight of the smallest model, the Speed Lite Pro 17 SL (women’s version), to just 610 grams, and the Speed Lite Pro 19 (regular) to 630 grams. This weight reduction was also achieved through the use of lighter yet durable materials, along with a simplified construction and features. The LiteAir system offers effective ventilation and improved load transfer.

For speed-focused hikers who want to cover greater distances in less time, the Speed Lite Pro is a tough backpack to beat. The ergonomic, vest-style, perforated shoulder straps provide a snug, secure fit with excellent ventilation. Flexible hip belts and stabilizer straps effectively distribute the load between the hips and shoulders, reducing strain on the back and shoulder muscles.

Despite its weight-focused construction, the Speed Lite Pro still includes a range of smart features, such as pockets on the straps and hip belts. These are perfect for storing your phone, keys, water bottles, or energy bars—keeping them within easy reach.

A spacious lid compartment (on the Speed Lite Pro 28 SL and 30 models) offers additional space for smaller items. Pole attachments on the straps allow for quick transitions without removing the backpack. A mesh helmet holder (sold separately) can be attached to the front, adding extra functionality for cyclists and climbers. Inside, there is space for a hydration bladder of up to 3 liters, along with extra clothing and other essentials for fast-paced adventures.

This ultralight backpack is available with two different opening types, depending on size. The U-shaped zippered opening is available in the 17 SL and 23 SL women’s versions, as well as the regular 19 and 25 models. The 28 SL and 30 models feature a lid and top-loading access.

The main fabric of this backpack, bluesign®-certified, is 100% recycled. It is also certified by the Green Button, ClimatePartner, and free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
