Backpacks for men with a special fit

deuter offers backpacks in various fits. In addition to the normal backpack fit and the SL line for women, there are also EL models for tall people. The advantages of the EL models are: 

  • The Extra Long backpacks offer perfect carrying comfort for tall people. They are suitable for people who are between 1.85 metres and 2.00 metres tall. 
  • The EL models are six to nine centimetres longer than the standard backpack models. This means they are adapted to the proportions of taller people. 
  • The volume of the EL backpacks has also been adjusted to accommodate the greater space requirements. The other features, such as the back system, remain the same in the larger models.

Daypacks from deuter – men's rucksacks for everyday use

Do you commute to work or university every day? Are you often on the move? No matter where your journey takes you, a daypack for men will support you. Choose a men's backpack that suits your needs. The sustainable city backpacks in the UP and Vista series are the perfect companion for commuters, with reinforced outer walls for laptops. If you cycle to work, you can carry everything you need in the Giga Bike or Giga backpacks.

Always prepared on your bike – men's rucksacks for cyclists

Are you an avid road cyclist, mountain biker or enduro rider, or are you currently training for a trip across the Alps? In addition to provisions, water and a pump, you also need a secure backpack for your tours that can carry everything you need while still being lightweight. Cycling backpacks for men offer you exactly that and also feature a system that provides perfect ventilation for your back. deuter develops the right men's backpack for every cycling need: from the Trans Alpine for multi-day tours to the Bike 1 mountain bike backpack for day trips, the slim Road One for sporty road cyclists and the Attack backpack with TÜV/GS-certified integrated protector. With deuter, you always have the right backpack with you when cycling.

Travel with your men's backpack by plane, train and more

Are you planning a city break and not sure what to pack? At deuter, you're sure to find the right luggage with a new travel backpack for men. You decide what goes in it. The AViANT Carry On and AViANT Access series can be carried as backpacks, but offer the space and ease of use of a suitcase. Thanks to the practical hand luggage dimensions of the smallest AViANT backpacks, you don't need to book extra luggage on the plane. You can safely store your valuables in internal compartments and locks.

Climbing, extreme mountaineering and bouldering with men's backpacks from deuter

Whether you're tackling multi-pitch routes or climbing expeditions, there's the right men's backpacks for every type of climbing. Climbing backpacks for men such as the Gravity series offer functionality combined with maximum lightness. Even when you're hanging from the ropes, you can pull yourself back up thanks to maximum freedom of movement.

Relaxed back on hiking & trekking tours – deuter backpacks for men

Hiking holidays, day trips to the mountains or tough trekking tours: men need the right backpack that can hold everything and distributes the load evenly across the back, shoulders and hips. Trekking backpacks for men combine ventilation, lightness and individual needs in a single backpack. Provisions, tent or sleeping bag – you can fit everything in. As hiking backpacks for men, we recommend the Futura or Trail series, for example.

Men's backpacks for mountaineers and winter sports enthusiasts

deuter has developed very lightweight and purist backpacks for men, especially for mountaineers and ice climbing professionals. Perfectly tailored to the needs of mountaineers, they not only offer you a secure hold. The sturdy material can withstand any weather conditions – including rain, ice and snow. The alpine backpacks for men offer maximum carrying comfort with minimum weight. Freeriders and skiers use a backpack that is functional and lightweight. The ski touring and freeride backpacks for men offer a clear design, a well-thought-out compartment layout and useful features. With the modular fastening system of the ski touring backpacks, snowboards, snowshoes or skis can be easily attached to the backpack.

The versatile back systems of deuter men's backpacks

Aircontact back system

The Aircontact system in deuter men's rucksacks takes the strain off your shoulders by keeping the weight close to your back: padding in the pelvic area and vertically along the spine distributes the load over a large area. Annoying pressure marks and pain in the shoulders are a thing of the past. The ventilation system on the back means you sweat less. 

Back system: 

  • for trekking backpacks 
  • for large hiking backpacks

Airstripes back system

The Airstripe back system is particularly popular with cyclists. Fresh air can circulate freely between the Airstripe pads with Wide Air Mesh cover through the ventilation channels, keeping your back cool. 

Back system: 

  • on daypacks 
  • on cycling backpacks

Aircomfort back system

The Aircomfort system in men's rucksacks reduces perspiration on your back, which is easier on your circulation and gives you more stamina. 

Back system: 

  • in hiking backpacks
  • in child carriers 
  • in bike backpacks

Lite back system

The Lite back system follows the principle of minimal loss of comfort with maximum weight reduction. This makes it ideal for endurance athletes and mountaineers. The breathable padding lies directly against the back, ensuring that the men's rucksack sits securely. 

Back system: 

  • for alpine backpacks 
  • for climbing backpacks 
  • for hiking backpacks
  • for child carriers

Alpine back system

The Alpine back system makes men's rucksacks lightweight and secure, while also ventilating the wearer's back. Mountain sports enthusiasts also benefit from its durability, comfort and functionality. 

Back system: 

  • on alpine backpacks 
  • on freeride & ski touring backpacks 
  • on large climbing backpacks

Contact back system

The Contact back system in our men's backpacks features ergonomically shaped back pads that mould to the wearer's back, ensuring that the load is distributed evenly. 

Back system: 

  • in daypacks 
  • in travel backpacks 
  • in bike backpacks (Attack) 
  • in school backpacks

A packed men's rucksack should not weigh more than 20 to 25 per cent of your body weight. A large travel rucksack with a volume of over 70 litres does not always make sense if you are not going to use the entire capacity. As a rule of thumb, 30 litres is sufficient for a day trip, but for hiking trips lasting several days, it depends on the length of your hike and your destination. Colder regions naturally require more clothing and equipment. Tall people usually need a larger rucksack, as their clothing takes up more space and they also have higher energy requirements.
If your men's rucksack is finally beyond repair after a long life, the best way to dispose of it is to put it in the bulky waste or residual waste bin, depending on its size. At deuter, we are working hard to find recycling and reuse options for defective backpacks. With over 220 different individual parts in a backpack, it is unfortunately not yet possible to recycle the backpack materials in a meaningful way.
All deuter men's rucksacks are impregnated with an environmentally friendly, water-repellent layer on the outside and coated with polyurethane (PU) on the inside. The durable, coarse-mesh rucksack fabric can withstand water columns of up to 1,000 mm. Rain rolls off the impregnation, but this protection diminishes over time. To protect the contents of your backpack from getting wet, you should use a protective cover in heavy rain, as supplied with trekking and outdoor backpacks.
At deuter, you will find women's, unisex and men's rucksacks. The men's rucksacks with EL fit (extra long) have slightly more volume and are particularly suitable for tall people over 1.85 m with broad shoulders and narrow hips, which mainly applies to men. The SL women's backpacks are designed for shorter backs, wider hips and narrow shoulders. The unisex fits are in the middle range in these areas and can therefore guarantee comfort for everyone. Ultimately, which backpack suits you best is very individual.
Please do not simply put your deuter men's backpack in the washing machine to remove dirt and stains. To clean the backpack, you can place it in a tub of lukewarm water and use a pH-neutral soap. Use a brush to remove coarse dirt, and squeeze the fabric several times to rinse it thoroughly and remove salt stains. Make sure that the inside and pockets of the backpack are well ventilated while drying.
At deuter, we take our responsibility towards the planet and people very seriously. That is why we are committed to fair production conditions, high-quality, durable materials and a lifetime repair service, and why we are involved in alliances such as the Fair Wear Foundation and bluesign®. Some deuter men's rucksacks and other items are already fully certified according to bluesign® standards, and we are continuing to expand this range.
