Deuter Futura Pro 42 Backpack - 2550 cu in description

Deuter's Futura Pro 42 Backpack comes extra large to fit all of your weekend hiking needs. Designs like Deuter's Aircomfort system make long hikes with a heavy pack more enjoyable. The frame distributes weight equally over your torso and the mesh back panel creates a separation between you and the pack for less sweating and shifting. Side and front stash pockets included with the Futura's divided main compartment make fitting all your gear a cinch. Ice axe and trekking pole loops let you store some hiking necessities on the outside of your pack too.

Bottom Line: Fit all your essentials for the weekend in your Deuter Futura 42 Backpack.

Like the other viewer said, yes this is the bmw of packs but at honda pricing! I've used this primarily as a day cragging, bush wacking, tree scraping daily pack and it still looks brand new (after I wipe all the chalk/dirt off of it). I've also used it up to 30 mile 4 day/3 night UL trips with no complaints- but be careful your overpacking 60l buddies will loathe you! I've put this thing to the test for the past 10 months and I can safely review this thing.It fits like a dream on my medium torso and you don't always have to mess with the settings. The air-comfort mesh panel is genius and with a light enough polyester shirt and a perfectly aimed breeze you can actually feel cool refreshing air on your back. All of the pockets and features are great on a pack this size because it helps you organize and situate the load properly. Like the title says I don't know how deuter can offer such an awesome pack at a great price, but I think part of it is because they are really popular in across seas and are probably trying to make a mark on the US market. I'm sold and can't wait to buy a bigger deuter for extended trips, which are even more of an awesome value!

I've heard of German engineering but this is ridiculous. The Futura Pro 42 pack is so well designed and crafted that you fully expect it to carry you up the mountain and then serve you a cold beer at the summit. The pack has pockets everywhere and all of the essential features in a trim and lightweight package. The shoulder harness and hipbelt are perfectly padded and actually appear to have been designed with real human anatomy in mind. The load remains centered on your back and the suspension provides total weight transfer to your hips. If you are typically difficult (or easy) to fit, this pack will work where others fail. After using the Pro 42, I bought the Pro 34 SL for my wife and she now thinks it's the best extended day pack she has ever owned. And the price is too good to be true. (I find myself wishing I could find something to criticize about the pack.)
