Both the Freerider Pro 28SL women’s pack and Freerider Pro 30 provide easy carrying of your winter backcountry setup.

The full back panel opening with heavy-duty zipper allows access to the main compartment while lashed-on gear prevents access from the front. A separate emergency pocket holds shovel, probe and essentials. The Vari-Flex hipbelt system evenly distributes weight to the hips, providing freedom of movement and reducing fatigue.The Guide Tour 45+ is a top loading alpine pack that can be customized for mountaineering, climbing and skiing. Snowboards carry on front and skis can either slide through the 130mm slots for A-Frame or through a loop for diagonal carry.
The new Climber backpack is a true alpine backpack and best friend to children on adventures in wild country, while ski touring or climbing. This junior version integrates the revised features of the Guide Lite: It is robust and provides great comfort with the Alpine-Back carry system. Additionally, Deuter is introducing the Rope Bag and Chalk Bag II into the US market.
