Deuter means ventilation... With five back systems perfectly suited for a specific purpose, Deuter guarantees optimum ventilation. In 1984 Deuter introduced the Aircomfort backsystem, which has revolutionized the hiking pack market.

Deuter guarantees comfort... Each and every backpack model is perfectly equipped and optimized for maximum comfort and functionality. Thus providing the most enjoyable experience for the demanding outdoor user.

Deuter backpacks fit... To ensure a comfortable fit, the range of products in each category is developed to best fit the majority of users. We take the fit very seriously hence the growing SL range for women and smaller torsos, as well as the Vari-Quick harness system to dial in that perfect fit.

Deuter pushes the envelope... The consumer can be assured that Deuter is setting the bar in product innovation and technology. Deuter child carriers meet and exceed the German consumer safety standards, set by the TUV Germany. They were the first to introduce 3-sided ventilation, as well as the first to integrate a back protection shield into active sports packs. They are specialists in what they do, committed to using the latest in materials and techniques. They concentrate on being one step ahead of the competition.

There is one thing that all Deuter products have in common... They are designed with a wealth of experience and innovative creativity, always keeping their consumers' comfort and satisfaction in mind.
