Deuter SL Women's Fit System

• Soft edges to straps, smaller buckles and narrow tapered strap ends prevent SL shoulder straps from chafing under arms and eliminate pressure points in chest area
• On average, women's backs are not quite as long as men's and thus SL carry system is thus slightly shorter than that of Deuter's standard rucksacks; consequently, models in SL series are ideal choice, too, for male users with shorter backs
• In general, female waist and hip area is also shaped differently so, in order for waist belt to deliver perfect anatomic fit when fastened, it should ideally have conical shape
• Conical form is achieved by angling belt diagonally upwards and by curving SL waist belt wings; frontal adjuster system feature of larger-volume Deuter rucksacks simplifies waist belt fitting procedure
• To take account of narrower shoulder width of female anatomy, and thus prevent slippage, SL shoulder straps are both narrower and shorter in length for best fit
