Deuter Guide Lite 32 Pack - REVIEW

This is a great all-mountain/all-season pack offering diverse features without the added weight. It is super comfortable thanks to the back and shoulder strap padding. Also the innovative chimney effect ventilation system really does allow air to flow through keeping you dryer than traditional flat back designs. At 32 litres it is just big enough for a backcountry skiing day trip, sure you can always use more room but then you are putting more weight on your back and slowing down your progress. The Deuter Guide Lite 32L Pack does not have avalanche gear specific pockets or compartments so your probe and shovel just sit in the pack with your other items. This is not ideal for being organized and efficient in winter activities, however, it's not the end of the world if you are intending to use this pack year-round, in which case, those features would be of no use to you for six months of the year anyway. You need to remember that this is not a ski touring specific pack but one that will allow you to get out in the backcountry occasionally for a slackcountry laps or day trips.
