Buying a hiking Backpack: athletic, comfortable or ultra-lightweight

Which do you prefer? The thrill of hiking a ridgeline? Or soaking in the views over wide expanses of green pasture? Everyone has their own idea of what happy hiking looks like. So, whether it’s on a day hike or a multi-day walk; for athletic peak baggers or leisurely hikers – your walking backpack needs to fit well with your hiking style, in the same way as your trail buddies who hike with you do. At deuter, we know that ventilation, weight and people’s personal preferences are the most important criteria when choosing a rucksack. And you can choose from four different fits to make sure you end up with the right fit on your body:

Hiking backpacks in Regular fit for men & anyone with wider shoulders and narrower hips
Hiking backpacks in SL (Slim Line) fit for women & people with narrower, shorter upper bodies / torsos
EL (Extra Long) models for people with a longer upper body / back
Hiking backpacks for kids for budding young hiking fans

Let us help you become ‘hiking happy’ – with a hiking backpack that’s the right fit for you!

More ventilation: Hiking backpacks with maximized comfort

Hiking Packs with the deuter Aircomfort back system for:

Day-long hikes through easy to moderate terrain
People who like good airflow across their back when they’re hiking

Good ventilation results in better endurance. When you’re walking for a day or hiking through moderately challenging terrain, the deuter Aircomfort back system will keep your back dry. This well-ventilated carrying system reduces perspiration which helps increase endurance. Its mesh back (used for packs in the Classic series, as well as the Futura and AC Lite hiking backpacks) gives it outstanding carrying comfort. Whether it’s hiking up to the top of the Zugspitze, on a day’s hike in the Rhone Valley, or on a walking holiday in Tuscany.

Our top tip: If you’re after good ventilation but also need a more spacious pack, then the Futura hiking backpacks come in 30-liter, 34-liter or even 42-liter models with a spacious main compartment, lid compartment and bottom compartment. If you’re looking for a lightweight hiking backpack with back ventilation, the AC Lite is the one: the smallest model weighs just 810 grams.

Our hiking backpacks for those who prioritize ventilation:

Classic Series

Since 1984, the Zugspitze and Gröden from our Classic range of backpacks have encapsulated deuter quality, comfort and the joy of hiking. Featuring the deuter Aircomfort back system and offering plenty of space for food, a jacket and change of top, these small hiking backpacks from the deuter Classic backpack series are still very popular with hikers all over the world.

Classic series

AC Lite series

Lite by name, light by nature. The Lite models from our AC Lite series of hiking backpacks are made with ultralight materials and with weight-optimization as the focus. But there’s no skimping on back comfort either. We’ve used the deuter Aircomfort back system for maximum ventilation and a comfortable carry. The smallest in the AC series has just 14 liters’ capacity, or there’s the much bigger AC Lite 32 - which despite its size is still classed as a lightweight hiking pack thanks to coming in at just 1001 grams (or 2.21lb).

AC Lite series

Futura series

Adjustable shoulder straps, ergonomic wrapping hip fins and a suspended mesh back make the Futura backpacks some of the most comfortable in the deuter collection. The evenly distributed load that the Futura hiking backpacks generate means you can hike for several hours at a time, whichever model you choose. For a one-day hike, a backpack with 20-30 liters volume is plenty. And on longer hikes over several days, the Futura Pro backpacks offer up to 44 liters’ space.

BODY-HUGGING FOR A SECRURE FIT: HIKING BACKPACKS FOR VIA FERRATAS AND MOUNTAIN SCRAMBLES / HIKES

Trail series

Active hiking and via ferratas
Hiking for several days in moderate to challenging terrain

The wind in your hair; up close and personal with the mountains. There’s a real thrill in hiking narrow mountain trails and negotiating the fixed climbing routes of a via ferrata. But you need a hiking backpack that sits firmly in place and doesn’t sway about. deuter’s backpacks create a snug, solid fit that gives you better control and balance. Our hiking backpacks and via ferrata backpacks with the deuter Aircontact back system sit close to your center of gravity, which makes the load easier to carry and control. Open cell foam padding on the back of the backpack and shoulder straps generates a kind of air pumping effect for ventilation, while also creating a secure fit.

The deuter Trail backpacks for secure yet unrestricted movement:
The deuter Trail backpack and the larger Trail Pro backpack are equipped with a special back system that gives them excellent load transfer, so you can carry up to 36 liters in absolute comfort. The Trail hiking series also includes via ferrata and hiking backpacks that have 20, 22 or 30 liters of capacity. The pivoting ActiveFit shoulder straps are perforated for added ventilation and create a wrapping fit with full range of movement. The Trail hiking backpacks also have lots of features and attachment options, such as gear loops to clip your via ferrata set’s carabiners when you’re not using them, ice axe and trekking pole attachment loops, and a flat-format lid compartment that stays out of the way of your head (and helmet) when making high reaches.

Minimal weight: Lightweight backpacks for freedom of movement when hiking

Hiking backpacks with the deuter Lite back system for:

Fast-paced day hikes, via ferratas and hiking through strenuous terrain
Dynamic, ambitious hikes

Are you all for keeping things simple? Only taking the bare minimum? Our hiking backpacks with the deuter Lite back system are fully geared toward light weight. The knobby foam back panel allows air to circulate across the back for pleasant ventilation. The shoulder straps and hip fins are made from a specially molded foam that cuts weight but is also cushioning so you can carry light to moderate loads in comfort. And so that your pack won’t get in the way when you’re negotiating challenging mountain terrain.

Speed Lite – our lightest backpack series for weight conscious athletes:

The Speed Lite backpacks are so light you’ll hardly know you’re carrying them. Depending on the size of hiking backpack, our Speed Lite backpacks are up to 500 grams lighter compared to other deuter backpacks.

The smaller packs in this hiking series are between 12 and 20 liters, for fast-paced mountain athletes who move fast and light on their 1-day hikes. The larger hiking backpacks in the Speed Lite series come in a streamlined V-shape for maximum range of movement and optimized load distribution

Tips on correct backpack care: If you want your new hiking backpack to last a long time, then caring for it is key. In other words: only wash it when absolutely necessary and do this carefully. Do not use a washing machine. Always allow your backpack to dry fully, and never store it in a damp condition. We recommend using a rain cover in bad weather conditions.

Buying a hiking backpack, how to pack it right, and getting out there

Packing lists for day hikes, backpacking, and ski touring
Let’s go hiking! You’ve finally found the perfect hiking backpack and you’re busy making plans. When you’re hiking in the mountains, keeping down the weight you carry and packing well is important. Our packing list for one-day hikes can help you prepare. Our packing list for multi-day hiking tours can help you make sure you haven’t forgotten anything, and yet still aren’t hauling excess weight with you.

Tips on how to pack and adjust your hiking backpack:
Despite the excellent design of deuter backpacks, with good packing you can improve the weight distribution even more: Heavier items, for instance, should be packed around the same level as your lower back. And check out our tips for adjusting your backpack correctly – it will help ensure you get a pack with the right back length, and that the shoulder straps, hip fins and stabilizer straps all create the perfect fit on your body.
