        Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:

        I try to do a couple of 8-10 miles 'speed hikes' (2-1/2 - 3 hours) every week. Living in SC makes it necessary to carry a hydration bladder and I have struggled to find a good, light pack to hold a 1.5-liter bladder, a shell, and a first-aid/emergency kit. I've tried several over the years and most are too big. Many are too small and fragile. Well, this one is 'just right!' It is well made and very durable, but still weighs only 500 grams. It has plenty of room and is very adjustable. The exterior pocket is very well designed and holds a jacket, gloves, even a helmet. Most small packs only have elastic cords on the exterior, which don't securely hold items. I am a pretty big guy (6' - 240 lbs.) and the straps, including the chest and waist straps, fit me well. The hydration bladder fits well and attaches securely to the velcor loop on the right shoulder strap. One very minor gripe is that the small valuable pocket makes it a little tough to load the bladder as it hangs into the same spot. But as long as you store only the necessities (lip balm, protein bars, keys) in the valuables pocket, you'll have no problems. YOU WILL LOVE THIS PACK!

          I've had this pack for three weeks now and been on two day hikes with it. It fits me well. I most specially like the front pocket for storing gloves, lightweight jacket or my camera.

              This backpack was my sole piece of luggage on a crazy adventure through India, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Absolutely fantastically engineered. Super lightweight, supportive, with sleek German styling. This held an ultralight laptop, DSLR, changes of clothes, and all toiletries for a month-long trip. Monsoon rains, no problem. Extreme heat, no problem. The pack shows no signs of wear after a year of use. Fits my skinny 6' frame great.

                Love this pack. Fits me perfectly. Love the shape and side compression straps. I hate it when all my gear sits at the bottom of a too big pack. Perfect size for a dayhike. I put a rain jacket, lunch, water, warmth layer, camera, pistol and a few odds and ends and all fit just right without too much left over. super comfortable. I have 3 other daypacks but they all stay home.

                  Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:

                  I picked this backpack because when I go backpacking for a week in the Rockies, I wanted a super lightweight backpack to bring for day trips. It fit the bill perfectly. Just over 1 lb and it's somewhat "squishable" into odd spaces. I can put a BearVault 500 food canister in the sleeping bag compartment of my Deuter AirContact 55+10, and still wrap this lightweight pack around the bear canister before zipping up the sleeping bag compartment. Very sharp and attractive - looks technical but doesn't shout it like some packs. No velcro - and I don't want the noise of velcro whether I'm in a crowded room, scrounging for something in my tent in the dark, or getting my camera out to take a picture of wildlife. Not a lot of structure or support if you carry heavy items, of course, but you won't find that in any ~1-lb backpack. You can even remove the delrin hoop (for structure) to make it a bit more squishable but this doesn't save more than an ounce. It's made of very durable ripstop material. Put it this way - it wouldn't be very comfortable to carry two 15-lb dumbbells in there, but if I throw them in and strap it on my back it doesn't feel like it's going to rip out somewhere right away, either. I haven't used it for bike commuting, but the back and shoulder strap have a breathable padding about 1/3 inch thick. Again amazing given the weight. This is a tall, narrow-profile pack to give your arms freedom of movement. If you want to haul a laptop, the SpeedLite will easily fit a 13-in laptop sleeve that's 10in x 13.5in, but my older 12in x 13in x 3in Trager Transporter case is a bit too wide to zip the top closed at 12in. Small handy top pocket is 8in x 7in (not very thick) for things like camera, wallet, keys, or maybe a (thin) sandwich. Two side pockets securely carry a couple Nalgenes. There's a thin pouch almost as large as the main compartment that could hold a water bladder against your back, and there's a hole specifically for a hydration tube. There's also a compartment you can access on the back that could fit a (smaller) water bladder. There are several secure attachment points. The zipper pulls are loops with a bit of rigid plastic that keeps the loop always open, so you could easily hook a finger through and any of the pulls even with gloves on. Believe me, they've put a lot of thought into every part of the design. It isn't cheap, but given the weight I can't think of a single negative about this pack. So long as you find the right-sized bladder, I'd pick this over a dedicated hydration pack any day because it's so versatile for any other purpose, though I've never used it with my hydration system yet, so maybe there's some drawbacks I've overlooked there (knowing Deuter, I doubt it). I just throw one or two Nalgenes on for hiking. It's a practical, sharp-looking, no-regrets pack that meets or exceeds all my expectations!

                    Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:

                    After trying on many different packs, to use mainly for day hikes, I settled on this one. So far, I really like. Have taken it on about 5, 6-7 mile, moderate, autumn day hikes - carrying items for two. It's perfect. It's very compressible, and adjustable. The best feature is probably that the external compression straps on each side can be connected across the front of the pack to secure layers (or anything else) that do not make it into the pack itself; this feature alone sets it apart. The side pockets work well, drinks have not fallen out. The esternal front panel pocket is a bit stretchy and great for tossing in maps, phone/camera, gloves, hat. A 2L platypus bottle (without the hose) fits perfectly into the hydration pocket (a bigger one would fit.) This pack is tapered from the top down, it's a bit slimmer at the bottom - apparently to allow free arm movement.

                    Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:

                    Had this for about 8 months now and it is an absolutely superb daypack. Big enough for the essentials but small enough form factor that it sits nicely between the shoulders. It's generally high on the back but it balances well due to the smaller size. No worries about being off balance even when fully loaded with a 3L bladder and gear.

                    I have used this once for a summer overnighter where I simply slept in a hammock with a bug net and ate ready to eat food (i.e. no cooking gear). It was jammed full for that one and probably would pull out the bigger pack next time had I planned for it.

                    I have also made this my climbing gym bag and take it out on day climbs when I'm not slinging the rope. It carries clothes, shoes, and basic gear well (biners, belay device, chalk bag, etc.), even with the bladder in there.

                    My only gripe is the worthless waist belt which is nothing more than a 3/4" nylon strap. Luckily, it comes right off.

                      Best day hike pack ever! I hike nearly ever weekend and this pack is just what I need. Not too large so that I take too much. Just the right size and weight (very light). The low profile allows me to weave through trees and vines easily. It's never given me pains. Holds 2 water bottles, a map, survival gear, lunch, and a couple jackets. Simply the best. Haven't met a Deuter bag I didn't like.

                        Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:

                        I've owned this pack for several months now and I've used it for day hikes, commuting, and touring around in Europe.

                        It's an all around solid pack for day excursions of any type. It's comfortable and carries 15lbs well.
