Why Are Deuter Aircontact X Backpacks so Heavy?
mountainsforeverybody.com/why-are-deuter-aircontact-x-backpacks-so-heavy
Deuter has launched three backpacks in its new Aircontact X series. They include Deuter Aircontact X 60+15, Deuter Aircontact X 70+15, and Deuter Aircontact X 80+15.
All of them weigh over 3 kg, more precisely 3.10, 3.18, and 3.37 kg, respectively. So what makes them so heavy? Well, there are some really good reasons for such a weight.

Thanks for sharing!
Most welcome.
The tent is nice and your beauty drives me wild
Thank you
Great to hear from you, thank you.
Thanks again for the info!
Most welcome.
Thanks for these tips!
I hope they are useful.
Great review of the boots
Many thanks, I am glad to hear this from you.
Sorry, is there metal support on the back? I couldn't see it in the video. I know it's available on the Duncan 30 model.
Yes there is a V-shaped internal metal frame.
some great views!
I agree.
Do a comparison on air contact core and air contact lite
I have a feeling that Deuter will discontinue the Lite series, though I may be wrong. But I shall bear in mind your suggestion, thank you.
@ why’s that? I mean, they did a good job making a pretty comfortable light weight backpack (act lite)
@@fikrialanshory4589 I may be wrong, perhaps it will remain as it is. AC Lite is now in between Ultra and Core regarding the weight and features. But they have already discontinued a few sub-series from Aircontact group. That is why I initially though that making such a comparison with three new Aircontact sub-groups would not make sense. Remember what they did with Futura Vario,, their best ever, it was replaced with Futura Air Trek, and differences (pointed out in my site) are totally unimportant.. This is all just marketing. AC Lite packs are excellent.
@ well that makes sense, but what’s ur opinion about the AC Pro series that are also discontinued? And what kinda AC series that i need for my hike? I typically go on a 2-4 night hiking trip to a 2500m-3800m elevation mountain
@@fikrialanshory4589 Those are elevations where I go myself, so I can suggest a lot, but this will depend on i) type of equipment (expensive and less bulky/heavy vs affordable and more bulky/heavy), and ii) support (sleeping in huts vs sleeping in a tent). If you are focused on Deuter, the Core packs would be a very good option. Core offers several large packs so that you can carry comfortably whatever you have. It works better for heavy load than Futura Air Trek, I am pretty sure about that, although I like a lot the ventilated Futura design and have been using it since 2003. They have Aircontact X which is the best they have ever made, but they are heavy and expensive. It is important to try under load. But Aircontact Lite 50+10 could also work assuming it is not small for what you have. It is still available. Until very recently they had 65+10 but I do not see it on their site, but I see one version of it on Amazon. It is important to try a pack, so go to any shop and try them. I realized that sometimes some models simply do not work for me.
Just picked this up for 1/3 of the price, an incredible steal. Easily the lightest backpack I've ever owned. Love it. Great review. Thanks.
Totally agree, this was a steal.
I don't use frames..
Interesting. Could you share why? I listed some possible reasons, so is your one of them?
@mountainsforeverybody just more comfortable,plus I seem to pack more in( not always a good idea with me) 🤭 I tend to pack quite well....Plus they seem heavier..
I never hike more than 15 miles at any one time..
@OldtricksForolddog This about packing more may make sense because the shape is not so rigid as in a framed pack, so I understand the point. And framed are expected to be heavier for obvious reasons.
@mountainsforeverybody but I need to take certain items..as I tend to camp (all the lightweight gear is too expensive), plus my medical equipment ..
in russia, i can bay now it for 100 euro _))) and i have x80+15 (pay 180 euro)
Excellent price, I would not think twice. The same for X, on their site it is 410 E.
Thank you for the video. I would like to know what the sizes of the only rigid part are. I would like it to fit in the cabin bag size of ryanair which are 55×40×20. Could you please tell me? Thank you in advance
It will not fit, just measured, it is 60 x 31 cm.
@@mountainsforeverybodythank you very much !!
Thanks for this info!
Most welcome.
thanks for the info!

I imagine the outer soles would last a very long time in the snow though.
Of course they would, there is nothing wrong with them. I was using them on a few mountaineering tours and soles are great for a rocky terrain. They will work great on the snow as well. The real problem is that the boots absorb water like a sponge, and you are not aware of it until it is late.
@@mountainsforeverybody I'm curious have tried Vessi shoes, their push advertising all over UA-cam about their waterproof shoes.
@@balsalmalberto8086 I have not used them, but I would not trust anything they claim about waterproofness. They might be a few days until chemicals from the surface are washed out.
DMC was here 🙂
And DMC is?
@@mountainsforeverybody fans of your style of video. keep them coming they are great.
@@JackthornLife You made my day. Thank you.
Quite useful. In a second part you could eloborate on design vs weight. What is to consider with these ultralight frameless offerings with 50l volume in a sub 600g backpack?
Hi, design vs weight is a separate topic. This video and post is about capacity. I would not consider using a 50 L pack without a frame. But there are ultralight packs in the range you mentioned and with a frame, I had one in hands a few months ago, a pack from Zpacks. What to consider? Make a list of features that are essential for you and see if they are missing in such ultralight packs. Also check you budget.
@mountainsforeverybody well, yes, with my 2nd part suggestion I meant another video. Thank you for answer!
@@hoellenhund1000 I met an Italian in the Alps who was using a Zpacks pack, incredibly expensive but very advanced. He was totally delighted with its performance, but admitted it was too expensive, a modular design where you can add various features by ordering elements separately. I think he mentioned something around $550 or so. Worth considering if you are willing to pay, start from a minimal configuration and then build it up as you like.
Thanks for the info!
Hope it was useful.
Really?? People are this stupid they need to be told what loops are for??? Wow. Maybe some people shouldn’t actually venture outside. Thick af.
This is great! I've always wanted to know what the manufacturers had anticipated folks using these for and some bags have so many! Thanks!
I am happy to hear that it was useful. There are more videos of that type here, and new are coming.
Very true, most I know, same for straps, but some great manufacturers do an awful job even making their own explanatory videos
Thanks for the info!
I hope it was useful.
Useful review, thanks! Can I make you a couple questions please? 1. Do you wear them in the same size as Salomon Quest? I ask cause I know very well my size with Salomon but never had Mammut and I'd like to buy this model. 2. Have u ever tried them on snow? If so, are they too bad? Thanks a lot whether you'll reply or not, and all the best.
Hi 1. The same size, but I am pretty sure Mammut boots are narrower. Cannot directly compare now because I threw away Salomon boots last year when I was in the mountains, they served me great but they were too old. 2. Yes, I was using them last summer on several tours in the Dolomites, lots of snow on high mountains even till the end of July. You can see one of the tours here: mountainsforeverybody.com/climbing-tofana-di-dentro-by-bivacco-barraca-degli-alpini-route On this tour I was using them with light CAMP Frost crampons, you can see them in my earlier review here: mountainsforeverybody.com/camp-frost-crampons-review These Mammut boots are not for snow really but I used them anyway. They are not waterproof, and sole is not rigid enough when you have to cut into the snow on steep slopes. This is why on my Monte Pelmo tour I used real mountaineering boots Scarpa Triolet together with true crampons.
"What a beautiful place, what a lonely place"
Thanks for the education, here was me thinking the only difference was nice bright pink colours with floral designs and the option of jazzy tassels on the zippers.
As you see there is a bit more to it. Thank you for commenting.
Thanks for the information!
I hope it is useful. Thank you.
Some great views!
It would be better without clouds. But it was great.
thanks for this explanation
Great to hear from you, thanks.
Thanks man, awesome work was done here!
And if you fall?
Hi, this is a ferrata and you can attach yourself at dangerous passages. But you can definitely fall, so I cannot give any wise answer, I guess nobody can. If you go to such places, do your best and hope for the best. Your question motivated me to write a post in the site, it is available here: mountainsforeverybody.com/what-happens-if-you-fall-on-a-ferrata-tour
Great views again 🙂. Nice hike, thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Though I would not describe the tour as a hike. Crampons, ice axe, and all ferrata equipment was used.
Thanks for your videos about this tent. It caught my eye immediately as most Snow Peak products tend to and your video made me place my order! I got the mat+ground tarp combo with it, I'm not sure the mat is necessary or worth the high price tag but I figured since I'm going to use a camp cot the extra floor strength can't hurt
Hi, if you have the mat I am sure you will love to use it. It is cold in the evening and it will make your stay in tent more pleasant. For cot too, it is very good to have an extra layer. I did not use cot but a chair and I was always worried about the floor. You have a great tent.
Which is more comfort to mountain expedition?
The word comfort may have different meaning for different people. Please follow the link below the video to read my full text in the site.
@mountainsforeverybody Comfortable for my shoulders and back. because I use a backpack made locally in my country but it is not comfortable at back system and shoulder pad.
@@elzhabi4922 For shoulders, I do not think you will have any difference. For back, Futura backpacks are ventilated, so you should experience less sweating, or better to say better air circulation. But lumbar area is very different, there is no way to know which will work better for you until you try it under a full load. I warmly advise that you read the text in my site for more details.
Great views over there! 🤩
I would say the best in the Dolomites.
Differences between the two: 3:08
Well, this might be good info in theory on where to walk and not but it might not be very useful in the field when you're actually standing on a glacier, rarely do you have live drone video with a view from above..
I do not use drones. In fact it is not a theory, this is how I deal with this, details are given in the post (the link below the video). It is correct what you are saying for the situation when you are on the glacier, but even then you can navigate it if you apply some tips mentioned in the text. I go solo and I use them, and I am still around, hopefully this will remain so.
Really good overview - ty!
Nice views! 🤩
Indeed.

Great to hear that. Many thanks for the kind words.
Hi, do you think this bag would be a good bag for travelling for six months. Because I'm about to buy one for travelling, as I'm fed up with suitcases, and I'd like to have something small but puncture-proof.
I would always go for a backpack rather than for a suitcase, you have free hands, easier to move around. But this is not puncture proof, no pack is, there are many small suitcases that are made of a hard material and better from that perspective. Though a punctured suitcase looks ugly, this is not so with a pack. I have them with punctures, but this is typically a ripstop material so I can use it forever, no matter a puncture.
@@mountainsforeverybody Thank you very much for your reply. Do you think this bag will do with 32L for a long trip of several months? To be honest, I'm hesitating between the ditch rider 32L and the Osprey farpoint 40L.
@@zorin597 If you mean this will be your only luggage then this sounds impossible. The same holds for the mentioned Osprey pack. But I do not know what kind of trip this is, so I may be wrong.
@@mountainsforeverybody It would essentially be a minimalist but long trip. I'll be taking with me a few T-shirts, a few pairs of underwear, a few pairs of hiking trousers, some hygiene products and wash bag to wash my clothes. I won't be taking a tent or sleeping bag with me, and I'll be staying in hotels. In any case, thank you very much for your answers, your time and the respect you show me. I've just discovered your channel and I'm not disappointed.
Should i buy the 40L version or the 30L one?
This will depend on what you plan to do with it. For light day tours choose the smaller pack. But the larger version is more versatile and you can do more with it. This summer I used my 40-liters pack for many day-tours, and it worked great for me.
I have a camp plus pad already and was unsure whether the comfort plus would be a better pad. I'm glad I saw your review before I went and bought the comfort plus.
Great to hear from you. Thank you.
If you collect water with a poncho or your tent fly then what are the risks of contamination from the chemical DWR coatings and waterproof treatments on those?
You have to drink water, this is the bottom line. This is about emergency situations and you will not die from such a stuff. But no doubt risk is always there. It is just the matter where you have it less. You get this stuff through your hands as well when you deal with your poncho or tent and miss to wash hands. Just imagine kids in a camp with you playing on the floor of the tent full of chemical. You cannot avoid this. There are also fire retardants chemicals that are particularly bad, you can see more about this in my another site. familycamptents.com/what-is-a-fire-retardant-tent/
