For those with shorter back lengths and slimmer profiles, shrug on the Speed Lite 28 SL Hiking Backpack by Deuter for a lightweight backpack that packs a punch on the tracks.

Offering all the athletic and lightweight features of the Speed Lite model, this pack boasts a 28-litre capacity in a slimline design suited to a woman’s physique, built for fast hiking and trail running. Stop the side-to-side slosh of water bladders and weight by securing the load closer to your centre of gravity. The shoulder and sternum straps work with the hip fins to provide the perfect fit for both your body and your load.

This pack goes above and beyond so you can power ahead, storing clobber from substantial and solid to small and tedious – featuring a valuables compartment with key clip, zippered pockets on the hip fins, a zip pocket on the shoulder strap, a large front pocket, a hanging loop for a 3-litre hydration reservoir, and an elasticated inner compartment. Plus, hang your helmet via the attachment loops, and whack your walking poles onto the outside of the pack too.

Make light of the heavy endeavours, with the Deuter Speed Lite 28 SL Hiking Backpack.
