Deuter Futura Pro 38 SL Women's Hiking Backpack - Cassis/Ashrose

Long hikes demand a pack that carries heavy loads without weighing you down or leaving your back drenched in sweat. The Deuter Futura Pro 38 SL solves both problems with its advanced Aircomfort Sensic Pro ventilation system and women-specific SL fit, ensuring cool comfort and balanced load distribution over challenging terrain.

Who is it for

Designed for female hikers and trekkers who need a reliable, well-ventilated backpack for multi-day adventures or hut-to-hut tours. The SL (Slim Line) fit is tailored to the female anatomy: shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps, and conically shaped hip fins for a secure, pressure-free carry.

Main features

• Aircomfort Sensic Pro back system: Maximum airflow with a durable spring steel frame and breathable mesh back panel, reducing sweat by up to 25%.
• VariFlex ECL hip fins with pull-forward adjustment: Ergonomic, pivoting hip belt follows your movements and allows easy one-handed tightening.
• Top-loading main compartment with front zipper access: Quickly reach gear at the bottom without unpacking everything.
• Separate bottom compartment with zippered divider: Keep sleeping bag or wet gear isolated from the rest.
• Integrated, detachable rain cover: Stored in a dedicated pocket, ready for sudden downpours.
• Multiple pockets: Lid pocket, front stretch pocket, two side stretch pockets, two zippered hip fin pockets, and an internal valuables pocket for organised storage.
• Hydration system compatible: Accommodates up to a 3-litre reservoir (not included).
• Attachment loops for ice axe and trekking poles: Secure your tools when not in use.
• Side compression straps and load adjustment straps: Stabilise the load and adapt the pack to your body.
• Sustainable materials: Main fabric is 100% recycled (210D PA REC BS / 600D PES REC BS) and PFC-free.

Tips

For optimal comfort, adjust the VariFlex hip fins first, then the shoulder straps, and finally the load adjustment straps to bring the pack close to your body. Use the front zipper access to grab items from the bottom without opening the top lid. The rain cover is stored in a small pocket at the bottom of the pack—pull it out and secure it over the pack when the weather turns.
