Cheap can sometimes mean they are fakes or replica. If that is what you are looking for, you can try mudah.com.my

If originals is what you are looking for, consider shops like Tear Proof, but be prepared to pay extra as well.

I was told Mdm Siah / Seah at Pertama Complex offers good packs at reasonable prices (I am not related to her in anyway!).

Last but not least, why not consider other brands than just Deuters? There are so many other good brands in the market.

Good luck!

i bought my Deuter AirContact 65+10 2009 model at RM530, which would be the cheapest around town, at Mdm Siah there...
for the old AirContact 65+10, u might be getting at around RM490, depends on ur luck...
and RM150 for a 65+10 is definitely fake... no doubt...

and yeap, i personally bought from Mdm Siah... the shop name i can't recall.. but it's very easy to locate 1...
from Pertama Complex the entrance beside Maybank ATM machine, which near to the foodcourt...
u go in, then turn left on the 1st turning on ur left... then turn right on the 1st turning on ur right... u will see a sportshop selling some badminton stuff, with a jersey with Lee Chong Wei's signature on it...

Mdm Siah's shop is just beside that shop... very easy to spot, cuz the shop is fullllllllll of bags... i mean REALLY FULL...

UFL chain sometimes will have discount on Deuter bags, but maximum 20%... u can get 30% from Mdm Siah there anytime...
and UFL is the official distributor of Deuter bags in Malaysia... they supply the stocks to Mdm Siah...

Hmm... Deuter is kinda affordable for its quality... i saw some in Tear Proof, the quality really not really good IMO...
if u have the budget, why not go for Karrimor? from wut i heard, Karrimor is better... not sure about North Face tho...

when my Deuter is spoilt, which will take ages, i will get a Karrimor that time...

haha... yeah... i got her namecard, but i din know where i put it... juz very easy so spot, dun worry...

Even u use a deuter quite often, it will still last for 10-15 years i think... whatever it is, wut u pay is wut u get...
with the price u r paying, there muz be certain standard of quality in that product... dun doubt it...

my uncle bought a Lafuma back in the 70s, and surprisingly he is still using his Lafuma... it's more than 30 years old!!
he trashes his backpack alot... the bag is dirty, with some small holes here n there... but the bag is still alive n kicking...

i dun think nowadays those products will be as long lasting as the old ones... i heard Lafuma's quality has dropped...

anywayz dude, 65+10 is oredy more than enuff for u... if u really can really stuff it full, i dun think u can easily carry it...
dat time my gf's 50+10 was totally full... it was winter, need to bring some thick clothes like trenchcoat n some jackets...
when checked in, the backpack was around 13kg of weight...
and it was freaking heavy even when i carried it...

so imagine la if 65+10 is full... how would it be? if u r small size like me, confirm GG.com... 
u got urs 100 bucks? i saw 70 bucks only in Thailand... u got pwn lor... 

Another no brand made in thailand backpack last for 8yrs+ and still no sign of wear and tear.  I use it more to oversea and outstation compare to my original deuter.
My another laptop targus backpack also wearout after 4yrs.    Lost fate to original product liao.

You can bring a daypack into the cabin as long as it is within the weight limit and size. There is a sizing 'jig' at most airport where if you can put your pack in, then you are okay. Check airline websites to see

About packs. Unfortunately to share with all, there are unethical shops selling replica (fake) Deuter packs at 'real' pack prices. Meaning, even if you pay RM500 for the pack, it may still be a fake. Replica packs are almost 90% copy, the just lack certain 'qualities' which is really hard to differentiate.

I personally would not buy a Deuter in Malaysia. Just too risky and the packs are not all that great either. Many people like it because (unfortunately) its the most easily available pack here.

I strongly recommend you to consider other packs. Brands like Lowe Alpine, Macpac and even Millet makes really good pack. You pay a bit more but some of the models are really good.

Buy pack, buy it once. Make sure the fitting is right and it feels good. Make sure you know how to put it on, test it. Pay a bit more and it will last you a good time. I have seen replica packs fail along a trip. The carrier ends up having to hug and lug the pack around. Not a pretty sight especially if you are in the jungle.

Madam Sia's shop has many brands. WHile Deuter is her major products, she has some Millets and Tatonka I think. Consider these products.

They are a bit like cars. Many people use Proton but that does not mean they are good. They buy it because it is popular and probably what they can afford. If you already have the money to buy a Perdana, why not consider a Toyota, for any model for that matter.

Google and read about the other brands of backpack.

Good luck!

glad that u bought ur bag and happy with it..

45+10 for me is just too small... im happy with my 65+10 too...

Anyhow, Always Remember
Heavier stuff at the Bottom

lighter stuff on top

dun worry bro... my gf's 50+10 stuff until totally full last time still not overweight yet...
if im not mistaken, standard is 15kg... but last time her backpack was 13kg, and it was freaking heavy already..

hell no, always put ur heavier stuff at the bottom, otherwise it will spoil ur bag compartments...
i wonder where did u hear it from... 

indeed, yes... but u must make sure ur bottom compartment is full in order to fill some heavy stuff in the compartment that near ur back..
cuz if ur bottom compartment is not full and u stuff in some heavy stuff in the middle compartment, the separator will eventually spoil...

my fren hold a Deuter Futura to class everyday... put in some textbooks inside... around 2 months, the separator spoiled edi...
so wut say u? 

if im not mistaken, new deuter does not provide lifetime warranty already... 5 years i think...
ya, it's recommended to put sleeping bag at the bottom too...

haha... futura is sort of a hiking bag... my fren has a Futura 28... and he used it to class... u know, university's text books are thick!

at 1st u sure feel the straps very kecoh... but after awhile u will get used to it 1.. dun worry...
