I have a Deuter Aircontact 70+10 and i can say it has served me well for my travels and has been quite durable. One problem i have now is how to wash it as it has some metal bracing inside... How do you guys clean the bag ya?
Yes, It only for my travel backpack. A bit heavy for hike/camp.For cleaning, you can
1) take it to dry clean
2) soak into a bucket with detergent. Rinse it.
3) Turn upside down, spray it with water.
All this 3 I use before if too dirty. If not so dirty, I just use cloth with cleaner. The metal is paint. So it won't rust that easily.
Just don't sun dry outside. Indoor dry.
UV sun can cause the inner poly proof to breakdown after sometime.
