 330 denier, ripstop nylon on the main pack body. The volume of the main compartment increases from 50 to 60 litres using the extendable collar and lid, meaning this pack can work for an overnight on the trail or that multi-day trip you've been planning all year, compression straps along the outside, accommodate for varying loads. The main compartment is accessible through the top, as well as a generous u-shaped front opening. I love this feature because it allows you to quickly access certain items without having to dump your whole pack

 Great deals and trail knowledge we're the gear specialists at backcountry, edge, awesome gear. Amazing service see you on the trail: [ Music ]. You 

 Deuter establishes a rock-solid base for this pack, employing their air contact back system. A spring steel frame, efficiently, transfers weight onto your hips and the load is distributed through the pivoting, very flex, hip belt system, allowing for better balance and stability over varied terrain. This is complemented by the ergonomically shaped hip belt that conforms to your body and offers plenty of padding for a comfortable carry even under heavy loads. Open cell foam creates a breathable padded back panel with shaping and cutouts designed for maximum airflow

Deuter Aircontact 50 + 10 SL Women's Internal Frame Backpack

 The shoulder straps are already coming apart along the stitching in one place and look pretty worn out after one trip. And there were a couple of moments on the trail where I had a hard time getting the hip belt buckle to snap into place - at one point I actually thought it had broken completely, which would have been the pits because at that point I still had a week left.

After less than four weeks of backpacking (JMT at three weeks, Pemi Loop at 4 days as a dry run from the JMT): The pack was still mostly comfortable (as comfortable as a 40+ lb pack can be), but has some durability issues that has me considering a return. A tear formed pretty quickly on the inside pocket of the pack's hood. The shoulder straps are already coming apart along the stitching in one place and look pretty worn out after one trip. And there were a couple of moments on the trail where I had a hard time getting the hip belt buckle to snap into place - at one point I actually thought it had broken completely, which would have been the pits because at that point I still had a week left

Here is why I bought the pack: It felt the best on my back. Like it was an extension of my back rather than just hanging on there. It also fits a bear canister (bear vault 500) horizontal, which makes a huge difference in the comfort in carrying one of those monsters.

I did not want to buy this pack

Other than that, the pack is comfy and durable and adjusted to fit me well even though I'm short (5'2" - see photo for scale). It's a little big for day hikes, but it's perfect for multi-day trips. An included rain cover and/or removable day pack would've been nice, but that wasn't a huge dealbreaker for me.

My only complaints would be the back panel and chest strap. The back panel wasn't as breathable as I would have liked. My back got a bit sweaty after walking ~10 minutes from the train to my airbnb. The chest strap also dug into my sternum and would leave a mark so I ended up unbuckling it a lot of the time, although this might just be a personal problem since I have a small chest

First pack, not disappointed

  In the end had to go with comfort. Every"body" is different. Just glad to be able to work with the experts at REI.

 Unfortunately, I had to go for another brand, the Osprey Aura 65 because I have issues with weight around my shoulders. The latter had a little more cushion in that area, but so liked the the Deuter too.  In the end had to go with comfort. Every"body" is different

Great Pack

 This effectively transfers pack weight to your hips, but rather than to rigid vertical stays that feel boxy. This flexes with you, as you hike, there's breathable padding made of open-cell hollow chamber foam. This does two things: it provides cushioned support and is incredibly breathable. There'S also a continuous air channel along the spine of the pack that allows warm air to escape and permits cool air to funnel between your back and the body of the pack

 This is a feature-rich pack that any traveler or backpacker will love with all the pockets, the women's specific fit and the breathable back system you're sure to have a fun adventure.

 Above that there's a hydration sleeve hung inside where you can route. The reservoir hose to either side shoulder and there's hip pockets down below for access to snacks on the outside the front, stretchy pocket holds your wet rain jacket and water bottles can be stored on the sides. The compression straps secure your load or they can hold tent poles. The sleeping pad straps are nice and burly, and the two loops and bungees keep your trekking poles out of the way when you're not using them

Deuter Women's Aircontact Lite 60 + 10 SL Backpack with Rain Cover

Fantastic pack so far, durable and impressive packing options. First time backpacking in many years and truly impressed with the pack geometry and feel for the reasonable price.

Fantastic pack

 So it gives you all of the load hauling capability. It'S going to transfer the weight right to your hips, but it's also going to have a little bit of flexibility to keep you comfortable on the trail and the pack can move with you. So that's a really nice feature. You'Ve also got a foam back panel there

 Moving down the pack here, you have some other features where you've got kind of panel access into the pack, and you have a big u-shaped zipper down here which allows you access towards the bottom and the middle of your pack, and this is a really great pocket. It'S a really great zipper. This makes it great for travel as well, so it opens up almost like a piece of luggage where you can get to the items inside your pack and then down to the bottom. You have a separate sleeping bag compartment and you do have a zipper in between this lower compartment in the upper compartment

 You can't see it, but there's basically two stays that cross over each other. Instead of having stays that go up and down the ones that form an X pattern are going to give a lot of flexibility to that pack. So it gives you all of the load hauling capability. It'S going to transfer the weight right to your hips, but it's also going to have a little bit of flexibility to keep you comfortable on the trail and the pack can move with you

 So as you're packing with this packets, it's definitely going to going to keep you comfortable behind your back and then down here on the hip belt. You also have plenty of padding women's specific hip belt and lots of mesh there as well. The load lifter straps, are a little more interesting than some others. You do have two points of adjustability

Deuter ACT Lite 65 + 10 - Our Budget Pick for the Wilderness Backpacker

Deuter Aircontact Lite 45 + 10 SL Women's Backpack Review

OutdoorGearLab

Once again, against relentless competition from other brands, the Gossamer Gear Mariposa holds its place at the top of the fleet. This pack balances comfort with an emphasis on lightweight design in a way that is unparalleled. The feature set is thoughtful and useful but not overkill. It provides plenty of external-carry options without feeling weighed down by superfluous bells and whistles. The Mariposa had our favorite stretchy back mesh pocket, which was large enough to store extra layers, snacks, and other items we wanted to quickly access. It fits a bear canister and can carry a heavy load but can also be compressed to comfortably carry a smaller load. The fabrics used in its design are durable and lightweight; miles of bushwacking and talus-crossing hardly left a scratch. 
Marketed as a 60-liter pack, the Mariposa can carry up to 64 liters when stuffed to the brim. For some, this may feel like too much room for an ultralight pack, as the more room you have, the more you may end up filling with unnecessary gear. It isn't the lightest in our review, though its 2.5-pound total weight and 14g/L weight-to-volume ratio are impressive. Plus, its slightly heavier weight added a level of comfort that was hard to beat. 

Switchback Travel

Gossamer Gear is a household name in ultralight backpacking, with a popular collection of packs for a range of adventures. Their largest capacity hauler, the Mariposa 60, is one of our go-tos for everything from quick overnights to week-long missions. Despite the sub-2-pound build (for the medium frame and hipbelt), it offers 60 liters of capacity spread out between a main compartment and seven exterior pockets, and is impressively supportive for loads up to 35 pounds (we took it right up to the limit). What’s more, the feature set is clearly designed by experienced thru-hikers: You get a tall side pocket to stash a tent or shelter, two pockets on the right side for water bottles and a filter, a stretchy rear pocket that offers quick access to essentials, large hipbelt pockets, and a bear-canister-compatible main compartment. Uniquely, the removable foam backpanel is located on the outside of the pack for easy accessibility and doubles as a great sit pad for trail-side breaks and camp life.

The Mariposa joins the Circuit above as one of the most popular cottage-brand UL packs on the trail. But while the Gossamer Gear is the clear winner in terms of weight, it falls short of the ULA in a few key ways: First off, the fabric is noticeably thinner, which will be of little concern to most recreational hikers (our pack has held up well to general use and abuse) but noticeable for those who spend months of each year on the trail. Further, the Mariposa offers far less fit customization—you get your pick of three torso and hipbelt sizes, compared to the Circuit’s larger set of offerings (including two styles of shoulder straps). And finally, we found its foam backpanel to bunch up throughout a day of hiking, and many hikers will trade in another foam pad or inflatable pad in place of the stock design (Gossamer Gear also offers a more rigid SitLight Camp Seat). But for dedicated ULers that prioritize organization, the Mariposa is a bare-bones yet fully functional backpack... Read in-depth reviewSee the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60

 I pull that as tight as I can. I like to keep my shirt untucked Otherwise, you know kind of gets weird and all bunched up But yeah, I like the soup hip belt super tight Load lifters are just taught pull up any slack But the shoulder straps if you guys can see and the sternum strap is super loose That does two things for me. It helps me stand up straighter when I'm hiking and It also gives me some breathability as you can see a lot of my back is exposed You know can slip my hand through how that really hurt But yeah That's just how I like to wear the pack everything's just tight enough to where the pack doesn't bounce around and move around too much But you know super comfortable pack worn it for hours and hours on end But yeah another advantage to having super loose straps is When my shoulders get tired and start hurting I can just slip my arms in Keep my hands like this takes the weight off my shoulders. Let's gives my arms a rest That magnetic Clip makes it super easy and convenient, you know, if I need water just keeps the tube right here and That water bottle holder also makes it easier to get water versus trying to like have a Try and reach back here that just that hurts a lot So I just keep this right here But yeah, that's that's me with the bag That's that's me with the pack again

It's the size large and hip belt size medium. So Let's head back inside because it's freezing out, you know, give you my thoughts and opinions on it So I've owned this pack for a year and a half Probably got anywhere from a couple to a few hundred miles into it Mostly day hikes to get a good workout in but also lots of overnight trips and weekend trips as well It's a great pack very comfortable Has never caused me any pain There's lots of space inside and I really like all the pockets For quick and easy access and allowing me to organize everything how I want if the dog does go with me on a trip There's still plenty of room left over which makes it easier to add all of his stuff as well Packs got no signs of wear and tear like none Maybe few dirt stains and the occasional loose thread, but that's easily fixed with a lighter The shoulder straps and hip belt cushioning still like new no issues there The only gripe I could think of is that none of the pack material is waterproof, but very few packs have that feature I would definitely buy this pack again
