Deep Dive
Why We Like The Speed Lite 25L Backpack
Tipping the scale well under two pounds, the Deuter Speed Lite 25L Backpack checks off all of our daypack boxes in an insanely lightweight design. It boasts all the space we need, a zippered lid, and plenty of extra pockets, to ensure no essentials are left behind. Deuter even thoughtfully included spots for trekking poles and a 3-liter hydration bladder. The V-shaped back panel creates a ventilated space between you and the pack, one that's both padded for comfort yet reinforced by the U-Frame for durable support on longer treks.
