Deuter W's Guide 22L SL Backpack

FROM THE MANUFACTURER

The Guide SL Backpack boasts Climate Partner certification and PFAS-free materials, offering lightweight construction and effortless handling as its defining features. Hard-wearing materials, high-quality workmanship, further improved ice axe and helmet attachment systems, and a stowable rope strap make this backpack a trusty companion for moving through challenging alpine terrain. The new lid design provides fast access to the main compartment. And there is a detachable mesh helmet holder integrated into the lid, which can also be repositioned onto the front of the pack.

FEATURES

PLEASANT VERSATILITY THANKS TO OUTSTANDING COMFORT-TO-WEIGHT RATIO

The side stowable hip fins not only ensure an outstanding comfort to weight ratio, but also enable versatile use of the backpack as well as the wearing of a climbing harness. 

SL Women’s Fit

This model is also available in the SL version. The SL back length is specific for women: on average, women have shorter backs than men. The carrying system in the SL model is therefore somewhat shorter than in the Deuter standard backpacks. In addition, the carrying system is specially adapted to the female anatomy.

DEUTER ALPINE BACK SYSTEM

• The Alpine Back System guarantees stable balance and reduces the effort of carrying medium to heavy loads in alpine regions since the load is always close to the body’s centre of gravity. The softstripe back pads of the streamlined alpine backpacks flexibly embrace the back with every movement and thus ensure a snug, secure fit. The channel between the pads ensures noticeably pleasant ventilation by creating a kind of chimney effect.
• The ergonomically designed S-shaped shoulder straps fit like a glove – no chafing of neck or arms. In addition, the SL straps have soft edges.
• The adjustable stabilizer straps on the shoulders and hip fins allow for fine tuning whatever the terrain.
• Optimum load transfer thanks to the compact hip fins. In addition, they hold the backpack firmly in position. The larger models have PE reinforcement.
• Move freely in difficult passages: the removable, flexible Vari-Flex hip fins follow your every movement. In the Guide, Rise Pro, Rise Tour and Freerider Pro models, the hip fins can be simply removed. Advantages: weight reduction and more comfortable carrying of the lap belt. The backpack can be carried just with the waist belt, which is also removable 
• Perfect load transfer to the hip fins thanks to the ergonomic, removable X frame made of multi-chamber aluminum profiles or a flexible frame made of permanently elastic spring steel 
• Good load transfer with minimal weight thanks to the flexible Delrin® U-frame. It effortlessly follows the most diverse of movement patterns.
