I was looking for lightweight pack to use as a daypack. The features I wanted were vest straps, a large pocket on the front, a place to store my trekking poles, and pockets on the straps and belt. This pack checked all the boxes. It is a comfortable, good looking pack. I am not able to access and return my water bottle while wearing the pack which is not uncommon with smaller backpacks. I solved that by adding an after-market pocket from Justin at Etsy to one of the shoulder straps. The pocket that is on the left strap just fits my iPhone 16 Plus in an Otterbox case.

Very light

I bought this to use on road and mountain bike adventures. It’s worked out perfectly so long as I don’t put the weight up high. Very well made and much more visible than the black Patagonia bag it’s replacing. Highly.

Light weight, comfortable fitting

Traversed a few mountains and have been along the Pacific Coast with this pack and I can tell you, no issues with discomfort, plenty of space for my short treks. I've had several packs but this was my first Deuter. With a life long warranty to replace it no matter where and what it's been through its a no brainer for me.

Great pack

I bought this because I got a dog. Dog and I love to hike but my little Osprey pack was too small to hold my food and water and hers, plus extra gear and layers. So I upgraded to this 25L pack. Perfect! Also, I loved that it has a wide waste belt for comfort when hauling heavier stuff. Dueter is a great brand and I also have their larger 65+10 long haul pack. For my body, both are a great fit. Highly recommend this. Backcountry is great as always too.

Great Pack For Day Hiking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Speed Lite 25 is a great bag for day hiking or for a 1-night overnight adventure. It is durable but at the same time is lightweight and provides comfortable padding. It has a thoughtful design to store gear. We love that there are several pockets on the shoulder straps and hip belt to store phone or snacks at the ready. Also there are stretchable but secure spots on the side of the pack perfect for water bottles.

Excellent Daypack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first experience with Deuter and am impressed! The 25-liter daypack is perfect for longer day treks as well as hiking with our family of 3. There's plenty of storage including the large main compartment, hydration compartment which can also be used for additional storage, large front pouch, 2 large water bottle pockets (can hold my 32oz wide mouth), zippered belt pouch, 2 strap pockets (1 zippered), a zippered top pouch plus tons of gear loops. It's easy to keep everything organized and accessible on our treks. We're in an extremely hot environment and the pack breathes well, is well balanced and wears comfortably. Construction-wise, it is well made and am impressed with their repair policy if ever needed. I'm super happy and looking forward to many adventures!

Awesome bag!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is awesome! It’s perfect for all your hiking needs. It’s lightweight and have multiple pockets for your key, water, hydro towels, shades and more. The straps are very well made and are padded for that extra stability.

Great option for a hike or camping

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Utah which is HUGE for camping/hiking and outdoors I want to say. I used this backpack for a few hikes before I did my review to make sure I could review it properly. Great light backpack it’s very handy and had nice compartments and did not ever feel like it got caught up ln my shoulders etc I loved it but I would personally prefer a black pack with reflective on it but that’s just my style preference.

Durable but lightweight outdoor bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lightweight but sturdy bag is perfect not only for hiking but for all your outdoor activity storage needs. I take it with me to the park with children to help store snacks, water, accessories, first aid etc. Perfect for long hikes through trails or mountains. The built in straps by the handle help you control how snug/tight you want it to be to the back of your shoulder blade, when loosened the back pad is made of extremely breathable material that keeps you cool. The shoulder straps have built in sleeve, zipper compartment, and eyeglass holder. The bag also had hip fins that can be adjusted and buckled to keep the bag in place with minimal movement as your body is moving. Would highly recommend this bag for any level hiker due to its lightweight nature and large capacity to hold everything you need for your next outdoor adventure.
