I shopped for MONTHS looking for the right pack that had all the features I wanted. I loved the idea that this was a womens fit pack. I loved the pockets on the front straps, I loved the pocket on the waist strap, and I loved that it had loops for hiking poles. However, when I got the pack my initial impression was that it fit weird on my back. After wearing it around the house, I thought I had it adjusted in a way that would work for me. I took off the tags. But after wearing it on my first hike of the summer, I decided it just isn't going to work for me. I don't love that there is only one compartment. The hiking poles don't really lay how I need them to, they flop around too much. But the thing that made me realize this is NOT the pack for me, was where the bladder hose comes through the bag. I feel like I must be doing it wrong because it kinks the hose so badly I couldn't drink from it. I had two other people look at it to see if I was doing something wrong and they couldn't figure it out either. Poor, poor design. I ended up bringing my bladder hose through the main zipper and just not zipping it closed all the way. Really wanted to love it. Thought I had found THE pack. But this is not it for me.

Came bent and broken

Came bent in half and frame broken. Who would bend that and shove it in a package like that? Now it’s worthless. Will never order from here again.

I had to return

I had to return this pack because it just didn’t fit right. I tried to adjust it, but it just rode too high and hit me in the neck. That was unfortunate because I love the running style straps and side pockets.

Deuter Speed Lite 23 SL

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Deuter Speed Lite 23 SL. What a game changer when hiking! I love the comfortable straps, the pouch for my water bladder, and the waste strap. The material is light also, which is a plus for those hot days. The quality is on-point with this backpack. I can't wait to take it on longer trips. Highly recommended!

Best Light WeightTrail Backpack Ever!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received our Speed Lite 23 SL trail backpack. My wife uses it when we hit the trails near our house. It's super light weight, and well constructed with super strong stiching. There are many storage compartments to store all her gear. We will definitely buy and use more of these products in the future, and would recommend this backpack to all our family and friends. This is definitely a winner!!!!!

Awesome!

Cadillac of backpacks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the pleasure of testing out for free a Speed Lite Series Hiking Backpack from @deuter and @tryit.sampling for my honest opinion. I am in love with this backpack. I've taken it with me on every nature hike and all overnight stays. It's super lightweight, so it doesn't bog you down on your hike. It's honestly the most comfortable and easy to carry backpack I've used. It has a flexible back frame that's cushioned with lots of ventilation, a cushioned hip strap with clasp to keep it in place, several other adjustable straps with clasps to keep your backpack stable and comfortable. There is plenty of storage space in the main pouch. And there is an array of mini pouches throughout. This particular backpack is the women's fit, which entails a shorter back length, more narrow shoulder straps and the cushioned hip strap is curved for a closer fit. They really put a lot of thought in when designing this model. I am so impressed with the quality and features! I highly recommend all female hikers this most comfortable Dueter Backpack.

Super lightweight backpack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is super lightweight and has tons of storage room. With the hard backing material it will also keep your stuff from being smashed. The material is also breathable and doesnt make my back sweat as much. I love this backpack!

Great bag!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I couldn’t believe how much this bag can actually fit. The material is so well made and comfortable. The secret compartment to store keys and cash or card, not easy for anyone to walk past and get my valuables. I liked that I could have a space for my water bottle as well. It is super lightweight and comfortable to carry.

So light and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was first drawn to this bag because I love the color and look of this bag. Now I love it because of how light it is and how comfortable it is to wear all day. The straps fit comfortably on my larger busted frame and are easy to adjust to my size. It has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized with the right enough room for my needs. I used this bag so far for day hikes and going to Lego land.
