Lightweight and robust polyamide fabric. A high thread density ensures special strength. The ripstop structure is designed as a honeycomb structure and gives the fabric a special look.
- * D stands for denier. This describes the yarn weight. 600D corresponds to 600 grams per 9000 meters.
- * PES stands for polyester. PES fibres are very tear and abrasion resistant and hardly absorb moisture.
- * PA stands for polyamide. PA fibres are extremely durable and abrasion-resistant. They are also characterized by high elasticity and low weight.

EXCELLENT WEIGHT-TO-COMFORT RATIO FOR MORE ENERGY
We’ve taken a well-balanced selection of materials, optimized the tailoring, reduced materials use to a minimum, and pared the features down to the essentials. The result is an especially lightweight yet durable biking backpack that delivers a great weight-to-comfort ratio.

BIKE-SPECIFIC BACK SYSTEM FOR COMFORT AND STABILITY
The breathable Airstripes back system ensures good airflow across the back and a snug fit for technical trails. The sternum strap, which features a new one-hand buckle, and mesh hip fins hold the pack in perfect position – no matter how rough the ride.

RESOURCE-FRIENDLY MANUFACTURING
With bluesign®-certified body fabric made of 100% recycled materials and resource-saving components from 100% environmentally friendly production, the pack meets the highest standards. It’s also climate neutral and PFC-free and is a clear statement of our commitment to sustainability.




Secure fit
thanks to the streamlined ergonomics of the back padding and carry system.
Effective airflow
thanks to reduced contact surface of the back padding with special ventilation channels between them and breathable 3D mesh.
The benefits
The compact fit gives it stability, preventing load wobble over rough terrain. The padding with ventilation channels also has minimized contact surface, generating airflow across 80% of the back.

Made without PFAS
This deuter product was manufactured by us without the use of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals. This reduces the use of substances that are harmful to the environment and health.
PFAS is used, among other things, as a coating for rain protection, as they have water, dirt and grease-repellent properties.
Instead, deuter now uses DWR (Durable Water Repellency) impregnation, which is harmless to health and environmentally friendly.

Recycled fabric
This model was made from recycled materials.

ClimatePartner certified product
By increasingly adopting materials and technologies for our collections that have a smaller carbon footprint, we are taking positive steps toward reducing our CO² emissions. But despite our greatest efforts, it’s impossible not to generate any emissions at all. And so, we’ve teamed up with ClimatePartner to offset all unavoidable CO² emissions. From now on, when a deuter product is bought, the volume of emissions released by the manufacture and transportation of it will be compensated for through voluntary offsetting and targeted investment in select social and climate protection projects.
