If you are reading this Deuter Quantum 70 10 review then you are surely looking for a reliable convertible travel and trail pack.
The Deuter designers were really thinking about every detail as you will realize from this text.
Due to its Vary Quick adjustment system, this large backpack can easily fit any torso between 15 and 20 inches. The adjustment is truly quick and easy and you can see it in the video below.
- Product name: Deuter Quantum 70 + 10 L.
- Amazon price: $269, check the link for updates.
- Place to buy: Amazon.
- My rate: 9.2/10.
Specifications
- Weight: 2980 g.
- Size: 86/34/26 (H x W x D) cm.
- Volume: 70 + 10 (+18 dp) liters, over 4200 cubic inches.
- You will be able to carry over 5o pounds of load.
- Material: Deuter-Duratex, 330D Pocket Rip.
Extra day pack
I particularly like its extra daypack attached to the front. It can be removed easily and it truly looks like a small stand alone pack, contrary to some other Deuter models (see the list at the bottom pf the text below) which also have possibilities to remove the top lid and use it as a daypack.
This extra day-pack however even has padded shoulder straps. And if this is not enough, it has additional integrated expandability, plus a very big pocket on the front, plus a sleeve inside!
It is attached to the main body through 4 buckles.
The top lid has a zipped storage space, plus a hidden zipped pocket inside.
The divider between the main and the bottom compartment can be removed, making a huge single compartment.
The backpack can fully be enclosed into the cover which you will find in the pocket on the bottom. I like to see this, in particular after my daughter came from a flight from Barcelona without the hip belt on her rucksack. A great feature indeed.
Summary of some features
- Aluminum frame.
- Vari-Quick back adjustment system.
- Anatomical hip belt.
- Separate bottom compartment.
- Main compartment with dual access: from the top and through the U-shaped zipped front entrance.
- Additional detachable day-pack.
- Hydration compatible.
- Adjustable sternum strap.
- Integrated transport cover with name tag, serving as protection in transport and as a rain cover. It has 3 handles itself.
- Stretch side pockets on both sides, for 1 L bottles.
- Three durable grab handles, one on the back and two on the front face.
- Hip belt pocket (on one side only, pity).
- Numerous loops and compression straps on the outside body for attaching gear.
- Expandable collar on the top of the backpack, which gives +10 L of volume, hence the number 10 in the name of the product.

Deuter Quantum 60 10 SL pack – slim version for women
This is a smaller (slim line) version for women with all similar features as the 70+10 model.
Deuter has developed such slim line models for most of their series of backpacks.
- Price: $269, check the link for updates.
- Place to buy: Amazon.
- My rate: 9.2/10.
Specifications:
- Weight: 6 lbs 2 oz; 2790 g.
- Size: 31/12/9.1 (H x W x D) inches; 80/30/ 23 (H x W x D) cm.
- Volume: 3660 + 610 (+1100 dp) cubic inches; 60 + 10 (+18 dp) liters.
Slim line implies the following differences as compared to the 70+10 model:
- torso length shorter,
- more contoured hip belt,
- the shoulders harness is more narrow,
- the shoulder harness is shorter.
You can see a lot of details about Quantum 60 10 SL version in this video below:
Finally, just to add that there exists also a smaller women version, Deuter Quantum 55 10 SL, and you can order it on Amazon.
I hope you find this Deuter Quantum 70 10 review and the addition of SL pack text useful. These Deuter’s models are designed for travel, but they can be used as trail packs, for multi-day or weekend trails as well.

14/12/2015 at 10:19 amI was looking some travel backpack for ages and I think I found one. They are quite expensive and is hard to make a choice what is best for you. When I look this review I realize it has everything any mountaineer must have from his backpack. Can be used also for other purposes. Great material and lots of space for one backpack. Thank you for your review.

Even though I am not a mountain climber I think this backpack is great especially if you were planning in doing a lot of hiking or camping could fit loads in it.
Great review and loads of information in video!
I liked that you went into great detail on the products features good selling point!

01/12/2015 at 12:57 amHi, thank you. This particular backpack is good even for traveling, not only for hiking and outdoor activities.

29/11/2015 at 12:02 pmWow, now that’s a really big backpack! I reckon you could fit a lot in that. Everything except the kitchen sink. I like how there is that extra section on the back. That means you can fit additional items in addition to the main backpack. It’s great that it is detachable, too. That means you can go out for shorter trips out from your base, then take the whole backpack when you are doing your main journey.
Although the price is quite high for this backpack, it is probably one of those times when you get what you pay for. It’s certainly a big step up from the rucksack I recently bought for much less, but which will fit far less in than this one.

29/11/2015 at 1:31 pmHi Marcus, the price is really for what you get. This is for as lifetime. I have my own Deuter and after 12 years of intensive climbing it looks intact. It was expensive, but with a good reason. You do not want to get to 3000 meters and have your buckle on the hip belt broken while you are carrying a heavy load.

27/11/2015 at 4:21 pmHello Jovo;
I think your website is helpful for beginners and veteran mountain climbers. You explain everything well about the products and the mountain climbing. Your visuals are awesome. Your knowledge about your products is very good. Your pages, when clicked, send people right to other products or information about mountain climbing. Your information on the side of your website about resorts, tickets, etc., is a great idea.
Best of Luck;
Johnie
