Deuter · Futura Pro 40

Several stages, one pack: 40 litres, and a cool back.

Day three on the coast path, between the agaves, and the pack hasn't shifted since morning. The Futura Pro 40 keeps the sleeping bag at the bottom, everything else under the lid, and cinches in at the sides when it isn't full. The steel frame sends the weight to the hip belt; the mesh lets air through between your back and the pack.

Trekking · Multi-day routes · Mountain huts

Bottom compartment of the Futura Pro 40 Black open, a sleeping bag slipped inside

What fits inside

40L

40 litres that cinch in when the pack isn't full.

Open the bottom zip: the sleeping bag has its own compartment there, and the divider gets out of the way if you want a single space. Clothes and food load through the big top opening, with the lid closed over them. On days when it's only half full, the side compression straps pull it back in against your back.

A tour of the pack

The Futura Pro up close: the back mesh, the hydration reservoir, the bottom compartment, the rain cover that comes with it.

Within reach

Map, water bottle, poles: none of it means putting the pack down.

Futura Pro 40 Black: a map in the mesh pocket, a water bottle on the side, a phone in the hip belt pocket — **The pockets**A stretch mesh pocket on the front, a large side pocket that opens at the top and on the side, two hip belt pockets.

Futura Pro 40 Black open at the top, gear packed under the lid — **From the top**Under the lid, a wide opening closed with a drawcord: you can see the whole compartment at a glance.

Futura Pro 40 Black from the front, a pole attached to the side — **On the side**An ice axe or extended poles attach to one side, under the straps; to grab them while walking, keep them folded on the shoulder strap.

Aircomfort back of the Futura Pro 40 Black: tensioned mesh, shoulder straps and hip belt

The back system

The frame carries, the mesh breathes, the hip belt takes the weight.

AircomfortA tensioned mesh holds the pack off your back; behind it, air moves instead of staying trapped.
The frameSpring steel, with the shoulder straps anchored to it: the load goes to the hip belt instead of pulling on your shoulders.
The hip beltPadded, ventilated hip fins, in one piece with the shoulder straps; it tightens as you pull forwards.
VariClickFive positions from S to L at the centre of the pack, a click at each one, for heights of 170 to 205 cm.

Video

In four videos: the click of the adjustment, the air at your back, the poles, the bottom of the pack.

VariClickYou adjust it with the pack in hand, at the centre: one position, one click.

AirflowAir passes behind the mesh and comes out above your shoulders.

The polesFolded poles go up onto the shoulder strap without leaving the trail.

At the bottomBottom zip open, the sleeping bag slides into its compartment.

In the rain

When rain catches you mid-stage, the 40 goes under its cover.

Not made for rain

No rain protection

In steady rain, water gets in through the seams and zips: anything that mustn't get wet goes in a pouch.

Water-repellent

Water-repellent main fabric

Water beads up on the fabric. In steady rain, it eventually gets through at the seams and zips.

Cover included

A rain cover comes with the pack

The rain cover is included with the 40.

This bag

IPX4, once closed

Coated fabric, taped seams

With the roll-top rolled and closed, the contents are protected from rain and splashing water (IPX4 standard). Not from immersion.

Without its cover, it won't get through a day of rain: keep the cover in the pack.

Deuter

Augsburg, 1898: mailbags first, then backpacks.

Since 1898

Hans Deuter opens a canvas workshop in Augsburg, Bavaria, and is soon sewing mailbags for the Royal Bavarian Post. In 1938, the first ascent of the Eiger North Face is made with a Deuter pack on the climber's back.

The mesh back

In 1984 came Aircomfort, a tensioned mesh that holds the pack away from your back. The Futura series took it up in 1999, and the Futura Pro carries it today.

Guaranteed, then repaired

Deuter guarantees its packs for 2 years against defects in materials and workmanship, on top of the legal guarantee, then repairs them at a shared cost. For a pack bought from Eiken, the claim goes through us.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it: The biggest Futura Pro weighs only 40 g more than the 32. The steel frame and hip belt hold the load as the days add up, and the compression straps cinch it in on days when it's only half full.
Worth knowing: 70 cm tall when full: if you're under 170 cm, the 38 SL fits better.
Who it's for: Hikers who go hut to hut, stage after stage, and want a ventilated back from the first day to the last.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

What are the dimensions and weight of the Futura Pro 40?

70 × 32 × 24 cm (height, width, depth, pack full) and 1,620 g empty, for 40 litres. Recommended height: 170 to 205 cm.

Is the Futura Pro 40 waterproof?

It isn't waterproof, but its rain cover is included: in steady rain, water eventually gets in through a pack's seams and zips, hence the cover. Anything that has to stay dry also goes in a pouch.

Futura Pro 40 or Futura Pro 36?

The 40 keeps the back, pockets and rain cover of the 36 and adds 4 litres, for 30 g more. Same trekking rating (3 out of 5): it all comes down to volume. If you're sleeping in huts for more than one night, take the 40.

What can I attach to the pack?

Folded poles on the shoulder strap, an ice axe or extended poles on one side of the pack, under the compression straps. A helmet net can be added as an option, sold separately. There's also a glasses holder and a key clip.

How much weight can it carry?

Its recommended load is 6 to 10 kg. The steel frame and hip belt carry it on your hips; beyond that, you're outside the range this back system is designed for.
