Deuter Packs

If you don't know about Deuter packs, just remember that the company has been a pioneer and innovative backpack designer for over 100 years. Based out of Germany, Deuter is better known outside the USA but is quickly making converts due to the supreme comfort and durabililty of its products.

All Deuter packs have two things in common, the wealth of experience of manufacturing outdoor equipment and the advice of a professional team of mountaineers and hikers.

Deuter USA was established in Longmont, Colorado in 2001 and their packs are now recognized by retailers as one of the top five brands in the industry. With a full range of gear for outdoor pursuits, Deuter packs provide a reliable choice for day hikes, weekend travel and overnight trips.

Deuter Packs: Best Seller Selections

Deuter Futura Pro 34 SL
(Day Hikes, Overnighter, Travel - 2100ci/34L)

Deuter began making packs specifically for women in 2005 and now every line includes these SL models. The design includes narrower and shorter shoulder straps and shorter back system proportions to fit hikers up to 5 ft. 7 in. So men can also wear these packs, if they fit these conditions.

With a maximum load of 30 pounds, the Futura Pro 34 is perfect for overnight camping and light weekend travel. The Aircomfort Pro suspension circulates fresh air to provide extra cooling comfort and the spring steel frame maintains tension to arc the mesh back panel for ventilation and overall support.

The pack features easy torso adjustments that suit petite sizes for proper weight distribution and load balance. The main storage compartment has zippered access to a lower compartment that allows for convenient top and bottom access to gear.

Two deep side mesh pockets are good for carrying shoes and other bulky items and a front stash pocket keeps maps, compass and other items within reach. The pack is also hydration compatible with a reservoir pocket and drink tube ports.

Many women users found the pack to be a good fit with adjustments for shorter torso lengths and loads well balanced if kept under 25 pounds. The rain cover also kept contents dry, even in downpours. Some users noted that a full water bladder takes up too much space and the lack of bottom straps and limited attachment options prevents adding more gear on the outside.

Colors available: Pine Bamboo

Great for day hikes, weekend travel and overnight trips, the pack is made specifically for women and short torso lengths without loss of comfort.

The hip pads and hipbelt wrap around the body for stability and lateral movement control when going at a faster pace on the trail. For better access, the two-way zip on the front panel provides quicker access to gear inside when you don't want to unclip the top lid.

A large front mesh pocket keeps your rain gear handy or lets you keep your wet clothes separate from the clean stuff. On the sides, one mesh and one zip pocket give you options for outside storage.

Users liked the pack's performance in snow and light rain without any wetting and gave it high marks for having a lot of features for its size. It was deemed "incredibly functional" for all occasions, whether hiking in canyons or the backcountry.

The capacity is just right for long day hikes, overnight camping and off-trail climbing with enough storage space in main compartment, a front stash pocket and a top lid with two separate pockets for emergency gear and essentials.

Two side mesh pockets are large enough for liter bottles and the front stretch pocket is handy for a jacket, rain gear or even wet clothes. Compression straps on the sides also double to add on accessories.

Noted as an "all around day hiking pack" by users, the Zero 30 has good balance and stays above your hips for greater movement. Hikers found it to be very comfortable with loads up to 20 pounds, even in hot weather, and fairly waterproof to protect camera gear.

Among the dislikes reported, the hipbelt pocket needs to be bigger, it lacks a spindrift collar and some wanted more pockets for organization.
