We often scrutinize the content of our pack to determine how best to reduce overall weight so we can climb/hike/ski a little more comfortably with less weight on our backs. This is the very routine I went through repeatedly prior to my five week trip to Nepal this fall. That was until I discovered that Deuter produces a line of trekking packs that are almost a full kilogram lighter than their standard trekking packs. The Deuter ACT Lite 65+10 trekking pack is one such pack, weighing in at 1760g. For comparison, the Deuter non 'lite' version (the Aircontact 65+10) is 2710 grams. This translates to a weight savings of 950 grams—try and save that kind of weight by cutting the end off of your toothbrush!
