Speed Lite Pro 25L

I got me a 20l Deuter speed lite pro in black this year. It’s the best bag I ever carried. Idk if it relieves back pain but very well designed and executed, esp the pockets. I LOVE the shoulder and hip pockets and the tilted water bottle pocket so I rarely need to take the bag off. To note, I cross

I find that oddly for a brand that mainly caters to women, Lululemon has quite wideset straps on the backpacks! Also the lack of waistbelt is a big problem, especially given the sloppy fit. I have one for travel (and I normally do a lot of hiking on my travels) and it's pretty much been fired and de

Well, I use the Deuter Speed Lite Pro 30L and like it a lot. I went from a much more structured Deuter backpack to the lighter Speed Lite as I wanted to reduce carrying weight, and also wondered if the much thinner hip straps would be up to it. I used it on two caminos last year and found it very co

The real deal-breaker between these two isn't actually the weight—it is the torso length and "barreling." The Osprey Sportlite 25 is a fixed-length pack, so if your torso doesn't perfectly match their template, the weight will sit entirely on your shoulders by mile six. The Deuter Speed Lite Pro 25

nobody makes a fully padded hip belt for a 24L pack :) because yes, that's an overkill. For my day hikes I used to use a 35L framed pack (Deuter Futura Pro 36). It's super comfortable and can handle a lot of weight. However, for summer hikes it's a little too big and you can only cinch it down so mu

Hey! I ended up getting a Deuter speed light pro 23 SL pack and I’m pretty happy with it. The pockets are great, the hip belt is load bearing (not quite the same as a heavy duty frame and foam belt, but still takes the burden off your shoulders significantly). And I like that it has a foam back that
