Backpack DEUTER Aircontact Ultra 35+5 SL — 35+5 L lightweight hiking pack, women's SL fit

DEUTER Aircontact Ultra 35+5 SL is a lightweight hiking backpack with a 35+5 litre capacity and DEUTER's SL fit tailored for women. Designed for multi-day treks, the pack combines a compact volume with an extendable 5 L lid for flexible storage. The construction emphasises carrying comfort through ergonomic shoulder straps and a contoured hip belt, while durable materials and practical access options support organised storage on trails.

Advantages

The backpack balances reduced weight and durable build to support long-distance walking without excessive bulk. An adjustable lid increases usable volume when needed, and the women's SL fit delivers a shorter back length and shaped shoulder straps for improved load transfer and comfort. Multiple compartments and attachment points enable organised packing and quick access to essentials during a hike.

Suitable for

• Multi-day hiking and trekking where a lightweight, compact pack is required
• Backpacking trips with moderate loads and need for organised storage
• Trail use that benefits from ergonomic, women-specific fit and stable hip support

Key specifications

• Capacity: 35 litres main volume plus 5 litres extendable lid
• Fit: SL (women-specific) with shorter back length and contoured shoulder straps
• Comfort features: ergonomic shoulder straps and shaped hip belt for load distribution
• Access: top lid with extension for flexible storage and external attachment points
• Construction: lightweight materials designed for durability on trails

How to use

Pack heavier items close to the back and centred over the hip belt to maintain stability and balance. Use the extendable 5 L lid when extra capacity is needed and stow frequently used items in easily reachable compartments or external pockets. Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap and hip belt while wearing the pack to ensure the hip belt sits on the pelvic bones and the load rests on the hips rather than the shoulders.

Recommendations

For optimal comfort on multi-day trips, fine-tune strap tension after loading the pack and periodically re-check adjustments during the hike. Use compression and internal organisation to keep weight close to the back and reduce sway on uneven terrain.
