Deuter - Aircontact Core 65 + 10SL Backpack

Designed for the serious backcountry angler and tramper, the Deuter Aircontact Core 65 + 10 SL is the ultimate heavy-hauler for multi-day New Zealand expeditions. Whether you are hiking into remote South Island river valleys for trout or trekking to isolated coastal ledges for land-based game fishing, this pack is engineered to carry significant weight comfortably. The "SL" (Slim Line) fit is specifically tailored for women or anglers with shorter torsos, ensuring the load sits perfectly on your hips rather than dragging on your shoulders during long approach walks.

• Aircontact Back System – Keeps the weight close to your center of gravity for full control while navigating uneven riverbeds or steep tracks, with Air Spacer mesh for ventilation.
• J-Shaped Front Access – Allows immediate access to gear buried at the bottom of the pack—perfect for grabbing tackle or rain gear without unpacking your entire camp setup.
• VariSlide Adjustment – Provides a fully adjustable back length (35–56cm) to dial in the perfect fit, ensuring comfort while hauling heavy loads of 15–20kg.
• Detachable Hip Fin Pockets – Large 3L pockets on the hip belt offer instant access to small tackle boxes, snacks, or a camera while on the move.
• Modular Gear Straps – Flexible attachment points for securing rod tubes, landing nets, or a tent to the outside of the pack.
• Expandable Volume – The main 65L capacity expands by an extra 10L via the adjustable lid, providing crucial space for extra provisions or packing out a catch.
• Integrated Rain Cover – Stows quickly to protect your dry clothes and sleeping gear during sudden New Zealand downpours.
