<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHiking isn\u2019t just a global trend \u2013 it\u2019s a movement (quite literally). According to estimates,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
over 300 million people worldwide go hiking each year, and that figure is on the rise. From<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the Alps to the Andes, and from the Rockies to the Himalaya, people are increasingly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
embracing the outdoors. And gear that\u2019s lightweight and comfortable makes it more<\/p>\n\n\n\n
possible. Backpack pioneer, deuter, has been driving the industry for years. And so, a new<\/p>\n\n\n\n
product for summer 2026 is naturally par for the course. The Futura Pro backpack has an<\/p>\n\n\n\n
innovative new back system and clever stow options, making it perfect for modern-day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Futura Pro features deuter\u2019s innovative VariClick 5-stage back length<\/p>\n\n\n\n
adjustment system. Load stabilizer straps with a choice of two anchor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
points ensure the pack can be adjusted for the person carrying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ergonomic, padded shoulder straps that are directly connected to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
frame deliver improved load transfer and give the pack better stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combined with the hip fins, they distribute the weight evenly, so the Futura<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro offers lasting comfort on multi-day hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proven deuter Aircomfort back system is now even lighter and airier thanks to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
optimized materials. The mesh back padding is extended right the way to the lumbar region<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and, together with the softer mesh fabric, gives it excellent breathability and a comfortable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wrapping fit that molds to the shape of the wearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to outstanding carrying comfort, the Futura Pro also offers clever stow options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large stretch pocket on the outside and two hip fin pockets are ideal for stowing important<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gear, while the top-loader opening with drawcord and lid provides quick access to the main<\/p>\n\n\n\n
compartment. Poles can be attached on the shoulder straps, keeping them at the ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when needed. A dedicated bottom compartment can house wet or dirty clothing, keeping it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
separate from the rest of your gear. This backpack also comes with a rain cover to protect<\/p>\n\n\n\n
contents from the elements when the weather turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body fabric is made from recycled materials and the pack is made without the use of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PFAS, which means the Futura Pro is also a top performer when it comes to the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
environment. It is a bluesign\u00ae product, and like all deuter products since summer 2025, it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is ClimatePartner certified, underlining deuter\u2019s commitment to sustainable manufacturing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and environmental responsibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n
