Update: I trained for months and hiked the Grand Canyon with this pack. The stability is everyhting. I carried 23 lbs. Received lots of complimets for the color. Looking forward to my next trip!
I bought one backpack in my life. 15 years ago I bought a Deuter transalp 30l. I used it everyday for over a decade. Had to invest 50 cents last year for a replacement plastic clip thingy. Incredible quality.
Thank you very much for the video, I need to ask you a question about this, in this size of backpack I can pack a tent inside and an insulator on the outside. The size of the backpack works for me for a 4/5 day outing. I read you from now on, thank you very much. I look forward to your comments.
I have the 55+10 SL version of this backpack, do you have any tips for packing this up to take on a plane? I am struggling to get the hip straps to fold in and I don't want to risk them getting damaged!
Are you checking it as luggage? We often put our packs in a duffle the we check them. If you're carrying it on, be mindful of size restrictions, but I wouldn't worry too much about the hip straps in that case.
Hi there! Great video. I am currently deciding between this same Deuter (but a 60+10L) and a Gregory Deva 70. I will be backpacking in Thailand and Europe for about a month and want to make sure I have the best pack considering I will be testing its limits and relying on its comfortability. Do you have any thoughts about the two for this type of expedition? Thanks - J
Hi Jestine!! I've backpacked Europe 5x (twice for more than a month) with this brand of backpack. I have a 45L+10 bag and it was absolutely perfect for me. I HIGHLY recommend this brand.
@@madainsalih. I ended up getting the 60L + 10L but I would not recommend it for longterm travel. Having a bag that size is not necessary. I now have the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L and it is the perfect size as with most airlines it is a carry on (so you avoid checked bag fees and the airlines losing it for 3 days in Saudi Arabia like they did with mine). I am traveling/working in West Africa currently and it fits more than enough clothes if you pack light and use REIs fantastic packing cubes that double down. As for backcountry backpacking - I have used my Deuter pack for a 3 day trip with extensive elevation gain and it was quite difficult to use when trying to look up and scale rocks. It is so skinny and tall it leaves no room for you to lean your head back and look up. All around its a decent pack that provides good support and is comfortable, but the light color gets very dirty and doesn't come with a rainfly... I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I am quicker to respond on IG @Jestine_Lackner14
Only one way to find out! But seriously, the only significant difference in women's packs is typically the shape of the shoulder straps. You can always try one on at a local outdoor store to be sure!
