Deuter Junior 18 L Red Unisex Hiking Backpack 404 g

The Deuter Junior 18 L Red Unisex Hiking Backpack 404 g is a lightweight children's daypack designed for outdoor activities. With an 18‑liter capacity and a weight of approximately 404 g, it provides room for essential gear while remaining easy to carry. The pack uses Deuter’s Airstripes back system for effective ventilation and features S‑shaped shoulder straps with a Soft‑Edge finish and an adjustable sternum strap to keep the pack stable during active use. The top‑loading main compartment is complemented by a front stretch stash pocket and stretch side pockets for quick access to small items. The outer fabric is a PFC‑free recycled material, produced using 13 x 0.5‑liter PET bottles per pack, and the product is Green Button‑certified and bluesign® approved.

Advantages

The backpack combines low weight with practical carrying comfort thanks to the Airstripes ventilation and anatomically shaped S‑shaped shoulder straps. Its top‑loading layout and elastic side and front pockets allow simple organisation of snacks, a water bottle and small clothing layers. Durable, PFC‑free recycled fabric offers weather resistance for everyday outdoor use and supports a reduced environmental footprint due to the recycled PET construction.

How to use

Load the top‑loading main compartment with larger items such as a light jacket, lunchbox and small towel. Use the front stash pocket for frequently needed items like snacks or a map, and the side stretch pockets for a water bottle or small thermos. Adjust the shoulder straps and sternum strap so the pack sits snugly and comfortably on the back; the S‑shaped straps distribute weight evenly across the shoulders while the Airstripes back system promotes airflow. Close the top securely before active movement to prevent contents from shifting.

Recommendations

Rinse off dirt and spot‑clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh detergents to preserve the recycled fabric and PFC‑free coating. For long service life, avoid overloading beyond the designed capacity and store the pack dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use.
