According to our hiking backpack expert
The Deuter Quantum 60 + 10L is a backpack suitable for a long tour. The backpack comes with a separate 18-liter backpack, which you can take with you on a day trip. The aluminum frame and the hip belt of the backpack distribute the weight of the backpack, making it comfortable to wear. The main compartment can be reached via the lid opening or via the arched zipper at the front. The bottom compartment has a zip-away bottom. You can use this part for your dirty clothes or sleeping bag, for example. With the compression straps, you can close the whole bag tightly. The model is suitable for different back lengths, thanks to the adjustable shoulder strap height.

I had been looking for a good backpack for a long time that could accompany me on my explorations around the world for years to come. Because you often have to lug your luggage around for days on long trips, I place high demands on my backpack. The Deuter Quantum 60+10 SL has succeeded perfectly in meeting those requirements and can travel with me for years to come!
The biggest advantage of this bag is the fit. Of course this is different for everyone, but because this model has an adjustable back, it can be custom made for every back length. What is especially nice for women is the adapted shape of the shoulder straps. They run along the breasts instead of over them, which is a lot more comfortable when you have to walk long distances! The hip belt is wide and sturdy, so that the weight of the bag is well distributed and does not rest completely on the shoulders. The weight of this bag is relatively low, while it is still a pretty sturdy backpack with good quality zippers and buckles.
Unfortunately, the Quantum is just a bit too big to take on the plane as hand luggage, the frame is just 2 cm too high for that. That would also be very exceptional, as far as I know there are no backpacks of more than 50L that could be taken as hand luggage.
The bag is also really ideal in terms of layout. The large main compartment is accessible through both the top and the u-shaped zipper at the front. This has the advantage that if you need something from the bottom of your bag, you don't have to mess up the entire contents of your bag to get to it. You can pack the bag as you would a suitcase, you can always easily access it via the zipper on the front. The bottom compartment can be combined with the main compartment, but can also be closed from the main compartment with a zipper. Very handy for wet or dirty items that you don't want between your dry clothes. You can also use it for a sleeping bag, or climbing gear in case of a backpacking trip through the mountains. The 'hat' of the bag has a pocket on the inside and outside that is closed with a zipper.
What is also very nice is the pocket on the hip belt. I really like to put my valuable papers or wallet in there, because then I carry it close to me and it can't be stolen so quickly. This compartment is just a bit too narrow in my opinion, it takes a bit of fiddling to get your passport or wallet out. The advantage of this is that it is also difficult for pickpockets to remove valuable papers from the zipper bag, the disadvantage is that it sometimes takes a little longer before you have your passport ready at customs.
What I also find an advantage of this backpack is the built-in rain and transport cover. It is located at the bottom of the bag, so you always have it with you and you are never without a cover because you have forgotten or lost it. In addition, the backpack itself is also fairly waterproof, experience has taught me that walking in the rain is no problem, the contents of this backpack remain dry. Another extra is the daypack that comes standard with the bag. This small daypack can be attached to the large backpack by means of buckles, so that it does not get in the way during the trip. For a small walk or day trip, you can just take the small backpack with you by clicking it loose from the backpack.
Finally something about the appearance of the Deuter Quantum. Besides the practicalities and advantages of this backpack, I also really like the design. It is certainly not a bulky backpack, rather an elegant backpack that I want to be seen with! The color is not very striking, which offers advantages in some (risk) countries. The blue reflective surfaces make the bag not only safer, but also very recognizable, which is handy if you want to quickly recognize your own bag at the baggage claim at the airport. The color combination is therefore definitely something that has been carefully thought through by Deuter, which is noticeable in everything.
I am very happy with my Deuter Quantum 60+10 SL, during my last trip I noticed that the advantages of this backpack really outweigh the higher price that you pay on average for a Deuter backpack. I hope to be able to carry this backpack on my back for many years to come to all kinds of faraway destinations, because my Deuter Quantum and I are now best buddies!

Very nice backpack, which can be adjusted in different ways and can therefore always be made to measure. Many different compartments and main compartment can also be opened as a luggage bag instead of just as a 'pocket'. So if you need something from the bottom of your backpack, you can easily access it. The extra small backpack is also very comfortable and weighs almost nothing. This backpack also contains an extra compartment for your laptop, very handy on the plane!

Last year I had the backpack with me on my Camino and walked with my backpack for 25 days. I deliberately chose this backpack for comfort. Yes, it may be a bit heavy and big, but with everything I had with me, excluding water, about 10 kg. Because the backpack is so spacious, I also had enough space to take some groceries along the way. The backpack is super adjustable and very comfortable. I didn't realize I had a backpack on. Missed it myself if I didn't have it on!!! It was really my buddy... Hip straps were perfect, which is unfortunately not always the case. I have not used the small backpack yet. That will happen next vacation. As an extra daypack or for my mountaineering boots, for example, which I can hang on my backpack. During the holidays I will see how I will really use the extra backpack, it seems super handy.
