Deuter Futura Zero 40SL Backpack Review

If you're pack doesn't fit right, all the options in the world aren't going to be worth anything. The deuter Futura Zero SL was design to fit the shorter torso and natural curves of women. Don't let the fitted design and attached flower (removable) fool you though. This pack is tough enough to run with any of the other designs in Deuter's inventory.

It features:
• made with light but strong and abrasion-resistant micro-rip/ripstop nylon and 210-denier and 420-denier nylons
• SL refers to Slim Fit, specifically designed with narrower, shorter shoulder straps and shorter back system proportions to fit those up to 5' 7'' tall
• Deuter's Aircomfort patented suspension allows warm air to escape and fresh air to circulate between pack and your back for increased comfort
• Suspension consists of a spring steel frame that is flexible and light, and tensioned to support the suspended mesh for ventilation
• Contoured, padded shoulder straps are lined with MeshTex fabric for breathability and feature stabilizer straps for proper positioning of pack
• Soft hip pads and hipbelt wrap body, stabilizing and controlling lateral movements of pack while on the go; hipbelt features a valuables pocket
• Main compartment has plenty of room for a full day hike, on or off the trail
• Front stash pocket and side mesh pockets store often-accessed gear such as water bottles, headlamp, first-aid kit, sunscreen, multi-tool and more
• Top lid pocket can hold your map, compass or GPS, spare batteries and other small equipment items
• Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)
• Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying
• Deuter recommends a carrying capacity of 30 pounds

@heywannamakeout totally agree. And if you do this please say the height and torso length of the person wearing the pack. Thanks!

Not all women are built the same. Exp. female athletes. I'm biologically female and have 17" shoulder span and a 53" torso length, I'm 6' tall. "Female" packs suck for me.

You ever make videos putting stuff inside: sleeping bag, water resorvoir, tent, clothing, laptop, other essentials, etc?that would be cool. :]
