DEUTER Speed Lite 30 Speed Lite 28 SL

The eternal quest of rucksack design is to balance the competing needs of storage, stability, breathability and comfort. That’s especially true in colder months, when we’re layered up and keen to avoid clammy moisture building up where pack meets back. And that’s why a leaner, lighter-weight pack can make all the difference. deuter’s Speed

Lite range provides that balance brilliantly. Designed for fast hikers, it’s equally valuable for any walker who wants to minimise weight, manage heat effectively, and still pack a lot in. Here’s the

30L version to explain.

GRAB ON THE GO

A large and secure zip pocket on the harness means you can keep the essentials handy – it’s large enough to hold most modern smartphones firmly in place.

OPTIONS FOR ALL

Don’t need quite so much space? No problem – the Speed Lite range also includes 13, 17, 21 and 25 litre versions in the unisex format, and 23 and 28 litre SL versions specifically designed for women. All are made with PFC-free materials.

EXTRA STORAGE

A huge and stretchy stash panel on the back, a capacious lid pocket and two zipped hip-belt pockets give you a range of options for storage – as well as that plentiful main compartment.

A BREEZE ON YOUR BACK

The Lite back system prioritises ventilation, but also sits close enough to your back to keep you stable. Add in perforated shoulder straps, supple hip fins, a precision-adjustable sternum strap and 100% recycled, Bluesigncertified body fabric and you have a superb premium product that works in tandem with your body.

LIGHTEN THE LOAD

The Speed Lite is deuter’s lightest hiking range. They’re stripped right down to focus on the essentials – but as deuter also point out, lightness must never come at the expense of durability. The fabrics and frames of the Speed Lite are built to adapt to your movements – and to last.
