	Advanced aircomfort Put an end to the sweaty back syndrome! This system keeps the packsack from coming in direct contact with the wearer's back. Moist air can freely escape through the three-sided ventilated system preventing heat build-up. Test results from Germany's Hohenstein Research Institute show that the Aircomfort system reduces perspiration up to 25%. Additional padding at the shoulder blades and hip increase the carrying comfort. The strong Aircomfort mesh provides comfort and top class ventilation: the hot air dissipates freely from three sides. Ventilated pads made of bilaminate foam (AC Lite series, Zugspitze 24S and 28L), or Contoured hip belt with ventilated pads (Gröden 30 S and 35 L, Gesäuse 32 S and 40 L) for ideal carrying comfort, and stability. Durable spring steel frame provides a flexible and light structure, and applies tension to the mesh. Contoured, padded shoulder straps with MeshTex.
	Aircomfort futura As in all Deuter Aircomfort Systems, the heart of this system is the powder-coated spring steel frame, which tensions a strong breathable mesh and provides a large air space between the backpack and the wearer's back. Being open on three sides, it provides most effective ventilation. Thanks to the special lower positioning of the shoulder straps in combination with the stabiliser straps the backpack position and back length can be regulated. Anatomically formed hip fins with ventilation pads which enhance the comfort, increase load carrying stability. The special suspended mesh provides convincing back ventilation: the hot air dissipates freely from three sides. Depending on pack volume weight is transferred to the hips through varying sized hip belts. Durable spring steel frame provides a flexible and light structure, and tensions the mesh. Contoured, softly padded shoulder straps covered with MeshTex. Stabiliser straps allow exact positioning of the rucksack.
	Aircomfort vario-futura Vario-Futura combines two proven Deuter systems, Vari-Quick and Aircomfort, to provide individual back length adjustability as well as great ventilation. For optimal load carrying, the backpack weight is transferred through two aluminium stays directly into the ergonomic hip belt. The Aircomfort mesh provides maximum ventilation. Contoured hip belt of bilaminate foam with PE reinforcement. MeshTex lining on the inside. PE frame sheet with preformed aluminium stays are the backbone of this pack, providing stability and flexibility. Optimal height adjustment for differing back lengths with the Vari-Quick system. Shoulder straps covered with MeshTex distribute the weight evenly. Stabiliser straps allow for better control and positioning.
	Aircontact system The air channels between these cushions increases ventilation effect. The result: up to 15% less sweating as with a standard trekking backpack. Proved in Tests conducted by Gabriel L.&T. Breathable pads with special breathable hollow chamber foam: With every movement, a pump effect circulates air through the breathable Aircontact cushions. In addition, on Aircontact Lite the Air channel ventilation between the back cushions is very effective. Mulit-layer hip belt construction: inner side has soft foam with 3D Air mesh lining for comfort. Through stiffer foams and PE sheet reinforcing, the core and outer layers maintain the anatomic form and enable most effective load transfer to the hips. Thin profile Bilaminate hip belt: inner side has soft foam with comfortable 3D Air mesh lining, and the outer has stiff foam for staility and load transfer. (ACT Lite 2 system picture). Vari-Quick system for easy adjustment to any back length (Aircontact 40 10, Aircontact Lite 35 10 and larger) Aluminium stays transfer the load to the hip belt.

	Alpine back system As a leading manufacturer of backpacks, Deuter has always cooperated with experienced mountain climbers. The co-operation with the professional mountaineers of the German Alpine and Ski Guides Association has proven particularly successful and beneficial. As independent technical advisors, they give us their worldwide experience and knowledge to further improve our products. Two padded foam stripes that provide carrying stability and comfort with "chimney" effect ventilation between the stripes. Breathable MeshTex is used onall points of contact. Larger models have a padded hip belt with PE reinforcement and lined with breathable MeshTex. Stabiliser straps allow for better control and positioning. Contoured, comfortable MeshTex lined shoulder straps.
	Airstripes system No compromises here. This special carrying system for bikers is made of two contoured foam stripes with air channels and is covered with a highly breathable mesh. The Airstripes system is designed so that only 5% of its surface area comes in contact with the wearer's back. The spacing between the foam stripes generates a "chimney effect" that enhances the ventilation while riding. The result is an excellent solution for the high performance cyclist whether on mountain bike tours or road trips. Flexible aluminium stays in the profiles allow for curvature adjustment of the back and provide increased support (Bike, Superbike and Trans Alpine). Two air channelled foam stripes with mesh lining ensure maximum air circulation and stability. The hip belt with mesh wings provides a breathable and compact fit in any cycling situation. The sternum strap improves the fit of the shoulder straps. MeshTex lined shoulder straps with a contoured shape to guarantee freedom of movement.
	Paragon System Heavy pack loads demand everything from your backpack. To ward off fatigue the carrying system must excel in many areas. It must offer maximum load transfer yet be well ventilated, comfor-table and not too heavy, flexible yet not un-stable. The Deuter Paragon balances the ergonomic design with a finely tuned balance of flexibility and stability. A simple yet convincing arrangement of structural elements, V-aluminium stays and GrP stays results in a dynamic carrying system. The Paragon follows complex natural body movements and so, allows negotiation of difficult terrain without loss of balance.

Backpack Materials

Most important: the right backpack materials. Not just so that your "Deuter" will really get through the thick and thin with it's high quality fabrics. But also, that the creative combination of the right fabrics on the pack to optimise performance and reduce weight.
Deuter uses only selected backpack fabrics that are rip- and abrasion-proof, colourfast, UV-resistant, quick drying, water resistant, long lasting, and lightweight. The two important synthetic materials are nylon (polyamide) and polyester. The fabrics are specified by their thread thickness in denier (den), which is thread weight specified over a thread length of 9,000 metres. This means that a 9,000 metre long 600 den thread, for example, would weigh 600 grams. To provide high water resistance, Deuter fabrics are coated exclusively with polyurethane (PU) which is abrasion-proof, cold-resistant and flexible.
