Deuter Speed Lite Pro 17 SL Women's Hiking Backpack - Lotus/Mystic

Every gram counts when you're pushing the pace on a demanding trail, and the Deuter Speed Lite Pro 17 SL answers the call for a featherlight, women-specific pack that carries like a dream. With a 17-litre capacity and a trim, athletic silhouette, it strips away unnecessary weight while keeping all the essentials within easy reach—so you can focus on the route ahead, not the load on your back.

Who is it for

Built for female speed hikers, day hikers, and mountaineers who demand a close, stable fit without bulk. The SL (Slim Line) back system is tailored to the female anatomy: shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps, and conically shaped hip fins that wrap the hips securely. If you're moving fast over technical terrain or simply want a lightweight companion for long summer days, this pack is your ally.

Tips

For the best fit, adjust the hip belt first so it sits on your hip bones, then tighten the shoulder straps and sternum strap. Use the compression straps to stabilise the load and prevent shifting on rough descents. When you don't need the hip belt, remove it to save weight and increase ventilation. The wet pocket is ideal for storing a damp rain jacket or a water filter after use.
