6 Back systems

Everyone's different, and so are the challenges that come with every outdoor adventure. Whether you're hiking up a mountain, biking down trails, or climbing with a rope, we've designed a variety of back systems to meet those unique needs. Each one is built for specific activities. Discover the system that's perfect for you!

Back systems FOR EVERY MISSION

DEUTER AIRCOMFORT

For small to medium-sized backpacks intended for simpler terrain, we focus on maximizing ventilation. Our Aircomfort systems, proven over decades, feature a flexible spring steel frame that’s incredibly durable, maintaining stable tension for the breathable back mesh. This design creates ample ventilation space between the pack and your back, allowing warm, moist air to escape. In 1984, Deuter was the first to pioneer and patent the world's mesh back system.

The result:

The Aircomfort mesh design significantly reduces sweating by providing superior ventilation, which decreases circulatory strain and boosts endurance.

DEUTER AIRCONtact

The most efficient way to carry heavy loads is when the backpack and wearer move as one. This is the core of our Aircontact principle: the body contact system keeps the weight close to your body, aligned with your center of gravity, ensuring full control and effective load transfer. Our Aircontact cushions, made from special hollow chamber foam, provide excellent ventilation by using the pump effect created with each movement.

The result:

Reduces perspiration compared to traditional compact back systems, while offering outstanding load transfer and a secure, perfectly balanced fit.

DEUTER AIRSTRIPES

For every ride, it’s crucial that a bike backpack fits snugly against your back. Our innovative Airstripes system ensures a secure, no-wobble fit while providing excellent ventilation. Fresh air flows between the Airstripes pads through ventilation channels and the WideAirMesh cover, supported by the low back design. This keeps the weight close to your body, reducing centrifugal forces and preventing the backpack from shifting.

The result:

During all riding maneuvers, the backpack stays securely and snugly in place on your back. The Airstripes pads with ventilation channels provide optimal airflow while maintaining minimal contact, covering over 80% of your back.

DEUTER ALPINE

For alpine backpacks, it’s crucial to balance comfort, durability, and functionality while optimizing weight. The Alpine System excels at meeting these needs. Its two Softstripe pads flex with every movement, adapting perfectly to your back. Along with the streamlined pack design, the load stays close to your body’s center of gravity, giving you complete control over your backpack.

THE RESULT:

The Alpine System offers a snug, secure fit for intense activities on tough terrain, delivering exceptional comfort and effective ventilation with its two Softstripe back pads.

DEUTER LITE

Our lightweight backpacks are perfect for endurance sports and Alpine day hikes. Streamlined to the essentials, they comfortably carry light to medium loads based on the volume. However, prioritizing lightness should never come at the expense of durability. This has always been, and continues to be, our core philosophy because disposable products harm the environment, and a backpack failure in the mountains can pose serious risks.

The result:

Our lightweight backpacks are designed for those who want to pack light while still enjoying comfort and durability.

DEUTER CONTACT

The Contact System's ergonomically shaped back cushions contour to your back, distributing the load evenly and reducing strain. Keeping the load close to your body makes carrying easier, while the channels between the cushions and the durable, breathable 3D Airmesh lining provide comfortable ventilation.

The result:

Ergonomically designed Contact back cushions provide carrying comfort by reducing back strain, keeping the load close to your body, and distributing it evenly.

Our back systems are one-of-a-kind, and so is our commitment to responsibility—it's something we truly care about.
