Thinking the right pack can seem like a very overwhelming experience for a lot. Of reasons, there are so many packs in the market its kind of hard to narrow down which one is right for you I like. To look at three things when I'm picking it back first what's my purpose I want to make sure if I'm doing day hikes overnight trips I'm using it as a carry-on that it fits that specific reason then it needs to fit me and fit.

My body to make sure that it's dispersing all the weight properly and finally, I wanted to be as comfortable as it can be when I first moved to alaska. This was the pack that I picked up it was deuter future pro-34-liter sl which. Sl on the deuter brand is a pack line. That is designed specifically to fit a woman's body daughter is a german based. The brand they've been in the backpacking industry for 110 years they have several. Lines of packs and what they pride. Themselves on is their air ventilation system their packs are equipped with. This lightweight mesh system.

According to the company keeps you from. Sweating it keeps your a cut your sweat down by about 25% now as I mentioned. It's important for a pack to fit you properly and there are two main areas. Where that's true. It's important that your pack fit in. Your shoulders and in your waist because that's where you're going to be carrying the weight now this is the sl meaning. That it is designed specifically for women's body so that's a number of. Different features the waist belt is smaller than say a man's pack too. Accommodate that women are oftentimes smaller you also have slimmer shoulder straps. And they carry in a different way and then you have a smaller wound mostly. Have smaller torsos and so the s outfits. Petite torso one of the things that I found.

That I like pack opposed to a lot of packs is I find that it's really easy to tighten it and. It's also really easy to reduce in so say you're layering you put on a coat and you need to loosen it a little bit you just kind of flip these back or you.

Take off that jacket and you need to tighten it a little bit more it's able to do that there are a number of. Different features in this pack pockets. Galore which is what we always like to see on packs you've got this top pocket. Which is perfect for gear that you're. Gonna want to access quite frequently then if you flip it open you actually. Have this sos card which gives you important sos survival advice which is. Kind of cool you also have this interior. Pocket on the lid which is designed to. Keep your valuables safe so I often put things in here that I don't maybe want to access for the entire trip so keys my. Wallet my id anything like that. Now speaking of keys on the top lid the.

The pack actually does come with a key chain that you can hook your keys to however i. Find that it's not something that I use very frequently which also pockets on. The side I can put the ear in there you got. These mesh pockets that hold water one. On either side and this side, it also has that gear pocket. Now, this is an older model, so it does have this front pocket. Which is an available on some of the newer models however all the models.

Have this bottom compartment. That they call the sleeping bag compartment now if you take that out you. Can see it's a separate compartment but you can also unzip it and it gives you access to the rest so you can use it away there's a number of attachments. That comes with deuter packs you can get attachments to carry ice picks or. Trekking poles as well there's as well.

These that you can attach carbines to. To carry other types of beer with you. Whether it's your coffee mug or something on the top one thing that i. Tend to use this pack for is carry-on. And also it's a great overnight pack if you're staying in like a hut or a cabin. So I've assembled some gear to kind of give you an idea of how much this 34. Liter pack and pull so I do have it.

The hydration bladder is compatible. So, I already have my 3-liter hydration bladder in there the hose goes through. The top out the back and then you can. Clip it with this velcro and you can.

Actually, remove it and clip it to either side whatever is more comfortable for you do we have that in there already. You've got our sleeping bag in the bottom we're gonna throw in our thermos. Our jet boil. A pack of some extra layers you can see. It starts to get a little bit tight. And finally every tooth throw in but a. Day and that's worth food so you can see. That is tight at 34 liters is all off. That but we do still have room in the bottom, so we have a number of options we could stuff more stuff under there, or we can unzip it, and we can make it one large compartment now we talked about. Our lid without easy access exterior. Pocket this I tend to put things like a GPS in a satellite communication device. And always twitter paper now of course.

There would be other odds and ends that you would probably carry with you and there is still room in here you have. Some room in our side pockets as well definitely could put headlamps lighters. Things like that other snacks um but. It's starting to get a little bit full but you could definitely it's a great weekend bag now one of my favorite features of this pack is the rain cover. So say it starts to sprinkle a little bit outside you just unzip the bottom.

Pull out the rain cover that's actually. Attached by a clip pull it. Over your pack, it fits perfectly. And you are ready to go sprinkle stop. It's easy to take off one thing I really. Like is placement I like that it's at. The very bottom and I also really like. That it has a clip say you're doing a little bit of bushwhacking you're crawling with your branches or things on a rough trail it just touches and rips. Off which it had happened before it's. Still connected so it seems like you don't quite use it this often than you.

Just back it back in the big shot. And you are good to go now as i. Mentioned I would say that this is the perfect pack for say a weekend trip if. You're staying in a cabin if you're staying in the hot it's perfect for day trips where you need a little bit of extra space it's not necessarily the. Perfect just day pack with friends. Because it is a little bit heavy at. Almost 4 pounds so you probably wouldn't want to carry that if you didn't need to however it was the very first pack that I owned and I used it exclusively for. About three years before picking up some.

Other packs some smaller packs and some bigger packs and now I find that I use this exclusively for day trip activity. So berry picking or fishing are the. Primary uses that I use it for but I do. Enjoy the deuter brand I like the slim. Fit the sle for women I think it fits me. Very well and I have other women friends that it fits as well and I would. Definitely, recommend and ain't yours. Local store and trying it out. And see if it's the right back for you.

Comfort and lightness

There are two important elements of comfort climbing equipment:

  • comfort on the way
  • comfort and ease on the rise.

Smaller backpacks with flexible (or minimal) frame sheets tend to be much more comfortable on technical climbs than larger, thicker backpacks.

Larger backpacks often have more substantial suspension systems, frame sheets, supports, and padding. They are usually much more convenient in strategy than an overloaded fast and light backpack, but on technical routes, they will seem cumbersome.

We all see more and more models of mountaineering backpacks with flat rear panels and simple suspension systems. We hope that you liked our selection and you will be able to choose the perfect equipment.
