In order to give a perfect anatomic fit around the upper body, the SL shoulder straps are both narrower and shorter in length. On average, women's backs are not quite as long as men's. The SL carry system is thus slightly shorter than that of Deu- ter's standard rucksacks. Conse quently, the models in the SL series are the ideal choice, too, for male users with shorter backs.

SL Serie Trekking SL Serie Bike SL Serie Alpine SL Serie Hiking 6 HikingSL Packing The pack’s center of gravity should sit close to the body and ideally at shoulder height. This way it is positioned over the body’s center of gravity and the pack won’t pull backwards. Therefore, put heavy equipment such as tent, food, big jackets close to the back in about shoulder height. Place sleeping bag, down equipment and other light objects in the bottom compartment; and midweight gear such as clothing on the top towards the outside. For easy grab, get small, often-used items in the lid pocket. Minimise the number of items you strap to the pack’s outside and evenly distribute the weight, in particular on the side pockets. In easy terrain (hiking routes, flat trails) the load’s center of gravity should sit higher, in difficult passages (alpine routes, Via Ferrata) a bit lower and thus closer to the body’s center of gravity. This packing system leads to a more forward leaning position, yet it provides more balance. Wrong! The pack’s center of gravity sits far from the body’s center of gravity – the backpack pulls backwards forcing the body to constantly work against the pack’s weight. The straps strongly pull on the shoulders and the wearer finds it a lot more difficult to maintain control and balance.
