The versatile and innovative Deuter Futura Pro 44 EL backpack offers hikers load-carrying comfort, ventilation, and an array of performance and organizational features. The EL designation indicates the extended length that makes the pack ideal for hikers with 20"-24" torso lengths.
The pack's Aircomfort Sensic Pro suspension system utilizes a lightweight, flexible spring steel perimeter frame, strategically placed columns of padding, self-adjusting shoulder straps, and a mesh trampoline-style backpanel. Together, these elements maximize support and ventilation while keeping weight at just over 3.5 pounds. A padded, adjustable hipbelt enhances load stability, fit, and comfort. Load-lifter straps and a sternum strap help you dial in fit with fine-tune adjustments.
The main compartment has top loading access and a separate, zippered lower compartment is ideal for stowing a sleeping bag or other gear. An integrated, extendible spindrift collar protects the interior of the packbag and increases the pack's capacity when extra space is needed.
A large front stretch pocket keeps discarded layers or other gear close at hand. Side bellows pockets and internal and external zippered pockets on the extendible lid provide further storage options.
Other features include compression straps, ice axe/trekking pole loops, top lid attachment rings, zippered hipbelt pockets, and an integrated rain cover for protecting your pack against the elements. Two side stretch pockets stow water bottles or other gear and a lined internal pocket and a built-in tube exit point make the pack hydration system compatible (system sold separately).
The Deuter Futura Pro 44 EL pack is available in your choice of colors.
