Hi,

Does anyone have experience using different Deuter backpacks with

Airstripes

and Aircomfort back styles?
I am wondering which of these two types of backpack support would be most
comfortable with a bit of weight in the backpack.

I've been using a deuter airstripes 'superbike s' for hmmm... 5 years now,
crashed in it, slammed it in car doors, unbreakable AND comfortable.
I used to have trouble with a heavily loaded backpack (books, shoes etc)
digging into my spine, this doesn't happen with this pack.
If I had my time again the only thing I'd change is to buy the 'L'
(longer/larger model) rather than the 'S', when I've got it really really
full I sometimes wish I had longer straps on it.

Cheers
Gemma

I have a Deuter Hydropack 1.5L with the Airstripes back, and its fine for
what I use it for - short day rides with minimal gear. Keeps the back comfy
but the pack doesn't hold much gear (spare tube, tyre levers and a snack
bar).

To carry a day load inclding lunch, tools, camera and a rainjacket I have a
Vaude Siena 30 which has a back similar to the Deuter Aircomfort, but even
better ventilated. For carrying a bit of a load this is definately the
better type of pack to use. It's comfy, spreads the load and your back
doesn't get that big sweaty patch. Even on hot days in summer it's a good
ride. I carry a full day's load plus 3L of water.
