Key benefits at a glance

• 22-liter capacity designed for day hikes, snacks, a light layer, a hydration system, and weather gear.
• Ultra-light Aircomfort back system delivers ventilation between the pack and your back for cooler wear.
• Slim LINE with a Narrow Fit uses ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and tapered hip fins for a snug feel on narrower frames.
• Top loader with drawcord and lid enables quick packing and accessible contents on the move.

Fit, comfort, and control on the go

The SL series features a shorter cut and soft-edged, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps, plus pronounced S-shape that narrows toward the ends. The conically shaped hip fins wrap the hips for improved stability, reducing heat buildup and moisture during longer outings.

Breathability meets practical design

At the core is the Aircomfort back system, anchored by a flexible spring steel frame that stays durable while maintaining excellent airflow. This setup helps dissipate warm air as you move, supporting comfort on variable terrain and pace.

Smart features for everyday trail use

Designed for everyday adventures, the AC Lite 22L SL includes a drinking system compartment (2-liter capacity, not included), trekking pole holder, internal and external lid pockets, attachment loops, glasses stow system, a rain cover, and a dedicated cell phone pocket. The pack is built from 600D PES recycled material with 210D PA recycled fabric and carries Bluesign, ClimatePartner, and Green Button certifications for responsible manufacturing.

Real-world versatility

Whether you’re stocking a quick summit push, a scenic lakeside loop, or a city escape after a nature walk, this backpack aims to blend lightweight efficiency with practical capacity and reliable comfort. The combination of a top-loader for fast access, thoughtful pockets, and a breathable back system makes it a compelling option for day trips that demand a balanced, unobtrusive carry.
