Update: I trained for months and hiked the Grand Canyon with this pack. The stability is everyhting. I carried 23 lbs. Received lots of complimets for the color. Looking forward to my next trip!

[@Chris.in.taiwan]

Nice!

[@camdenengstrom]

Rarely ever comment, but this was so helpful when there didn’t feel like there were plenty of thorough reviews elsewhere. Thank you very much!

[@alexandracastillo200]

I received mine yesterday. TOTALLY LOVE all the features! I have to find a way to tie my hair because it hits the pack.

I bought one backpack in my life. 15 years ago I bought a Deuter transalp 30l. I used it everyday for over a decade. Had to invest 50 cents last year for a replacement plastic clip thingy. Incredible quality.

[@roryearl1784]

Just bought the 65+10 version of this pack for my summer working for the Utah Conservation Corps and i love it so far!

[@alexandracastillo200]

Thank you for your review. We are the same size and weight.

[@Volundur9567]

Not really into this unit, but been peeping the Speed Lite 21 (I think this is the number).

[@SportsCarAdvisors]

Thanks for the video, well done. Just purchased a 50 +10.

[@Terradrift]

Enjoy it!

[@giselacittadini1572]

Thank you very much for the video, I need to ask you a question about this, in this size of backpack I can pack a tent inside and an insulator on the outside. The size of the backpack works for me for a 4/5 day outing. I read you from now on, thank you very much. I look forward to your comments.

Hallo Ein Hinweis: Die Wasserflasche kann auch am Hüftgurt Rechte Seite in einem extra Fach untergebracht werden. Lg Lara Winter

I have the 55+10 SL version of this backpack, do you have any tips for packing this up to take on a plane? I am struggling to get the hip straps to fold in and I don't want to risk them getting damaged!

[@Terradrift]

Are you checking it as luggage? We often put our packs in a duffle the we check them. If you're carrying it on, be mindful of size restrictions, but I wouldn't worry too much about the hip straps in that case.

[@alexandracastillo200]

It was too large to bring as a carry-on. I placed it inside my checked luggage, a rolling duffle.

[@alexandracastillo200]

I have an Osprey AirPorter travel cover. I've also packed it in a larger rolling duffle with my trekking poles and other gear.

[@smidch]

@@alexandracastillo200that is useful to know, thank you. Yes I wanted to check it into the hold

[@dejahvoeivoe]

thats looks like 70L

[@33sosa85]

Man seriously lol i guess shes real small. Couldnt gauge this product for myself

[@jestinelackner6979]

Hi there! Great video. I am currently deciding between this same Deuter (but a 60+10L) and a Gregory Deva 70. I will be backpacking in Thailand and Europe for about a month and want to make sure I have the best pack considering I will be testing its limits and relying on its comfortability. Do you have any thoughts about the two for this type of expedition? Thanks - J

[@tabbyp4754]

Hi Jestine!! I've backpacked Europe 5x (twice for more than a month) with this brand of backpack. I have a 45L+10 bag and it was absolutely perfect for me. I HIGHLY recommend this brand.

[@jaythinking]

Thank you for the review. Is there a rain cover included with this pack?

[@DunkBoi]

No rain cover.

[@sexygreger]

I bought a 70 + 10l in Scandinavia a week ago and a rain cover was included.

[@alexandracastillo200]

I bought a bright yellow Deuter Raincover.

[@alifarafi8356]

What colors are you reviewing???

[@MI_Prepper]

I got a great deal on a female pack, the very one you have there, but am a 5'9" male, short torso, long legs. Do you think it will work for me?

[@Terradrift]

Only one way to find out! But seriously, the only significant difference in women's packs is typically the shape of the shoulder straps. You can always try one on at a local outdoor store to be sure!

[@MI_Prepper]

@terradrift Yeah someone returned it at REI got it for only $70!

[@northernswedenstories1028]

There is no way this is 45l unless this woman is 4ft tall

[@Terradrift]

🤣

The flower was probably removed for woke marketing factors
