6. Good backpack ventilation reduces perspirati-
on which helps to lower the skin temperature.
This reduces the average pulse rate and redu-
ces blood pressure. So reducing perspiration
increases performance – and who wants to
do without that! Deuter has developed spe-

which perfectly match to the particular de-
mands. They are all based on effective venti-

7. Packing...
The pack’s center of gravity should sit close to the bo-
dy and ideally at shoulder height. This way it is posi-
tioned over the body’s center of gravity and the pack
won’t pull backwards. Therefore, put heavy equipment
such as tent, food, big jackets close to the back in about
shoulder height. Place sleeping bag, down equipment
and other light objects in the bottom compartment; and
midweight gear such as clothing on the top towards the
outside. For easy grab, get small, often-used items in
the lid pocket. Minimise the number of items you strap
to the pack’s outside and evenly distribute the weight,
in particular on the side pockets.
In easy terrain (hiking routes, flat trails) the load’s cen-
ter of gravity should sit higher, in difficult passages (al-
Bike Protection pine routes, Via Ferrata) a bit lower and thus closer to
the body’s center of gravity. This packing system leads

2 Twin-frame construction gives the Aircomfort Flexlite System its special
lightweight properties at the same time as guaranteeing excellent flexibility
and ergonomic fit. The secret lies in the combination of complimentary round and
flat spring steel frame profiles. It easily follows body movements and transfers the
load perfectly to the hip fins. It also gives the back mesh a stable tensioned platform 3203

These full-contact hiking packs have already won over
many fans, due to their optimum weight bearing ability

tem construction fits any shape of back comfortably – and the
clean, modern design and new colours will surely make heads
turn. A clever detail: if not needed, simply stow away the light-
