I just got this pack and have taken it on one trip so far. It carries like a dream: great contact along my back and the hipbelt transfers the load so it feels like I am carrying less than I am. There are just enough pockets to organize your kit, but not too many to get confusing. It really serves the backpacker who packs with stuff sacks for organization. And, the adjustment of the torso length was super quick and easy. LEt me fine tune the fit without having to hassle with parts and velcro.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ironically the same day I was going on a 5 mile hike. I opened it and right away was blown away by the high quality of material and superior craftsmanship. I absolutely love the almond color. This bag fits basically anything you need. It is very ergonomic and adjusts greatly. It has the ability to hold all of the supplies that you could need for several days. I highly recommend this hiking backpack for day or even multiple day use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Aircontact Core 65+10 pack is an adjustable, comfortable pack that literally fits everything that you can possibly need for a hike. I am 5'6" and love that this pack is not overwhelming to carry. I am able to pack for both myself and my 10-year old son and have an easy time carrying the back. This makes any travel or hiking a snap for quick family jaunts or extended treks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Deuter Aircontact Core 65 + 10 Hiking Backpack is the greatest pack I’ve ever had and has helped while out hiking with all kinds of room and made very sturdy to withstand everything you pack. This pack carries a load really well and the padding feels great on my body, especially on hot days. It has good airflow and fits close to my back, which is how I like the fit. The access points are big enough to grab anything you might need from deep within and the removable top lid lets you drop some weight if you are going for a simple overnight hike or to just adventure. There is a lot to like or love on this pack. Being able to open the pack to get quick access to gear is very cool and being able to remove the top piece is cool as well to save weight on shorter trips which is a huge plus, if you don’t own a Deuter Aircontact Core 65 + 10 Hiking Backpack you’re missing out on a great adventure! Highly recommended for everyone!
Have taken this pack to Alaska twice. Has handled thick brush and vegetation very well. Pack says 5 lbs base weight but w/ the lumbar pad and aluminum framing system, it feels like maybe 3 lbs (give or take). Plus, the company’s warranty policy is one of the best in the business I can think of. Lifetime warranty on all their packs. Well worth the investment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a top-notch hiking backpack! I've had multiple bags, and this one is way superior to all the previous ones. It is supper light, and extremely durable, the straps and back have superior ventilation setups, and the bottom has very durable fabric. Zippers are high quality, and it looks like it will last for years to come
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can honestly say that the Aircontact Core 65+10 is the best pack I have ever tried. Not only is it roomy but it is actually comfortable to wear. The lumbar support is amazing. I can basically pack EVERYTHING I could possibly need for camping in this pack and then some. Completely exceeded my expectations.

I've had the pack just over a week and used it on a backpacking trip this past weekend. I love the ease of adjustability and comfort in the back system. This pack comfortably carries all my gear and I'm a big fan of the multiple access points into the pack.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has been looking for a great camping pack and this is it. He is tall with broad shoulders, and he can completely customize this bag to his liking! The color is a great neutral. Lots of easy access storage for when the pack is on!
