Deuter Futura 32 (2008) Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2008! Boasting a performance-enhancing back ventilation system, excellent suspension and a long list of features, the Deuter Futura 32 is well-equipped for dayhiking.

Deuter introduced its Aircomfort back and suspension system in 1985 and has been fine-tuning and improving upon it ever since. The Futura 32 utilizes the Aircomfort Back System, consisting of a flexible, anatomically-shaped spring steel frame that hugs your torso and supports and adds tension to a mesh back panel. Moist air can freely escape through the space created between the pack body and your back, preventing heat build up. Soft, breathable fabrics and ventilated pads in the back, shoulder straps and hipbelt further help to keep you cool and comfortable on the trail. Load-lifter straps, and shoulder and lumbar padding further aid in the effective distribution of weight throughout the pack. Side compression straps enable you to reduce and expand the size of the pack body as needed, further securing contents and ensuring stabilization of the load.

A zippered divider between the Futura 32's top loading main compartment and front entry sleeping bag compartment allows for organization and separation of wet and dry gear. When hauling longer items or in need of access between the two compartments, you can unzip the divider and convert the Futura 32 to a single, large compartment. Internal and external zippered pockets on the Futura 32's lid and zippered side bellows pockets provide further storage options. A front stash pocket with weather-resistant zipper offers convenient, easy-access to stowed gear. A small zippered pocket on the hipbelt provides a place to store valuables.

Other special features of the Futura 32 include an ice axe/trekking pole loops, top lid attachment rings and an integrated rain cover for protecting your pack against the elements. Two side mesh pockets allow for transportation of water bottles and a lined internal pocket, built-in tube exit point, and tube clip on the shoulder strap make the Futura 32 hydration compatible.

The Deuter Futura 32 backpack is available in your choice of Storm/Titan and Fire/Granite color schemes.
