why is it one can never quite find what you want...?
Anyway i am looking for a Deuter ATC light 65+10, cape union have the brand here in South Africa but don't bring in this particular model, they do the air contact 65+10 which is almost twice the weight.

Does anyone know of a reputable online shop where i can buy this bag,and what their delivery times are like?

Does anybody have one of these bags that can give me some feedback.

Had the same issue, went with what I could get, the air contact 65 + 10. Haven't done any GTs etc but have uve used it quite a bit. Its been fine, fits what I need, feels good and is comfortable to wear. No complaints. There is generally a serious lack of choice in SA shops though!

Hi anthony & Errol, I own a Deuter 75L + 10 & it's an awsome pack. Heavier than the atc I suppose, but worth every sent. Only done 4 day hikes with it, but I'm sure it'll handle a GT as well.

I'm with you on the "serious lack of choice in SA" issue.

Try ebay for such items.

I've seen a Vango Spirit 200 on there for 160 Pounds. That's like R1800 as compared to the R3600 you'll be paying in SA. HUGE difference & might be worth while to check out even when considering shipping & taxes. If you know someone across, even better...

Deuter are great! I've been using ACT Lite 45+10 for several years. Can fit a lot into it, even for multi-day trips. Have even done a 4 day winter hike with it, though the packing did get a little tight then with the extra gear. Can even fit climbing gear into it for short summer trips. And it's a light, robust pack. As a result, one of my Berg-buddies now uses the same model, and three others have various sizes of the Air Contact. I would definitely stick to the ACT Lite.

I would demand better service from your Cape Union branch and get them to order what you want, or send it in from another branch. Not sure that there is another Deuter agent in SA.
