Deuter

Speed Lite 13L Backpack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This pack is my go-to for short hikes, fast scrambles, or travel days. It’s insanely light, and the fit stays secure even when I’m moving quickly. The breathable shoulder straps and sternum adjustments make it super comfortable—and despite the compact size, it fits more than you'd think."

When we’re chasing sunrise summits or squeezing in post-work miles, the Deuter Speed Lite 13L Backpack keeps things light, fast, and comfortable. Built with the minimalist mountain mover in mind, this pack uses Deuter’s Lite back system and breathable shoulder straps to offer airflow and support without added bulk. The slim, ergonomic fit hugs our torso for stability, while adjustable sternum and detachable waist straps keep the load dialed in when terrain gets technical.

The 13-liter capacity is deceptively roomy, with smart storage including a zippered top pocket, two stretch side sleeves for hydration or layers, and internal compartments for essentials. Bonus points for the helmet holder attachment loops—making it equally useful for fast bike rides or alpine pushes.
