Top features of the Speed Lite 17
Lite System

Ergonomic carry comfort to protect developing spines
The ergonomic shape of the back padding gently hugs the back and ventilation channels generate good airflow. The trapezoid-shaped lumbar pad ensures the load is spread evenly across the musculoskeletal system and allows the pelvis to move freely.

Ultra-light to preserve energy
Its lightweight construction, lightweight materials, the deuter Lite back system and pared down features combine to make the Speed Lite a featherweight in the hiking category (26 L model just 732 g). That means you can put more energy into the trail and less into carrying the load.


LITE SYSTEM


A lightweight with carrying comfort due to:
- light, soft back padding and ventilated 3D mesh cover
- shaped V-cut
- contact back and supple hip fins ensures a secure fit and good load transfer

100% recycled pre-consumer waste

Made without PFAS
This deuter product was manufactured by us without the use of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals. This reduces the use of substances that are harmful to the environment and health.
PFAS is used, among other things, as a coating for rain protection, as they have water, dirt and grease-repellent properties.
Instead, deuter now uses DWR (Durable Water Repellency) impregnation, which is harmless to health and environmentally friendly.
