Deuter Compact EXP 12 SL

The Deuter Compact EXP 12 SL is a bike backpack for mountain bikers that sits comfortably and tight on the back. It impresses above all with its perfect features, which include an extra compartment for a drinking bottle, a separate compartment for a smartphone, a well-organized tool pocket, two zipper pockets on the hip fins and two elastic side pockets. There is also the possibility to expand the volume of the backpack. The half-shell helmet can easily be hung in the front in the fastening clips, while the side compression straps are suitable for fixing the full-face helmet.

More Space: Two new straps that stow away inside the rain cover pocket can be used to quickly attach protective gear to the lower pack, leaving more space inside.

Organized: The clever compartment design (dedicated hydration compartment, cell phone pocket, at-a-glance tool compartment, two zippered pockets on the hip fins, two side pockets and the option to extend the pack’s capacity) helps keep contents well organized.

The SL back length is specific for women: on average, women have shorter backs than men. The carrying system in the SL model is therefore somewhat shorter than in the Deuter standard backpacks. In addition, the carrying system is specially adapted to the female anatomy. More information about our fits.

210D PA: This fabric has a very tight weave and despite the lower strength of 210D it is still very robust. It is tear and abrasion resistant, watertight to 1500 mm yet still lightweight.

130D PA High Tenacity:
* D stands for denier. This describes the yarn weight. 600D corresponds to 600 grams per 9000 meters.
* PES stands for polyester. PES fibres are very tear and abrasion resistant and hardly absorb moisture.
* PA stands for polyamide. PA fibres are extremely durable and abrasion-resistant. They are also characterized by high elasticity and low weight.

PFAS FREE: This product is free from PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS have water, dirt and grease repellent properties but they are persistent chemicals and harmful to people, animals, and the environment.
Instead, Deuter uses durable water-repellent finishes (DWR) that are environmentally sound and harmless to human and animal health, and free from these ‘forever chemicals’.
