Deuter Futura Pro 40 SL Pack - Review

    Deuter Futura Pro 40 SL Pack ReviewA convenient and popular feature of the Futura Pro is the two zipped pockets on the hip belt for easy access and stow-away of essentials. The real innovation of the Deuter Futura Pro 40SL Pack is the anatomically shaped Vari Flex hip belt in bilaminate
    construction with a 3D AirMesh cover. In less latent terms, the hip-belt is very comfortable, padded and flexes with you when you are hiking. 

    The lightweight backpack has a compact versatile fit whether full or lightly packed. The pull-forward closures allow the hip belt to be easily tightened and the side compression straps on the outer pack position and stabilize your load.

    The Aircomfort Pro System is a flexible highly ventilated mesh panel that wraps your back and allows for ample air-flow.
