A women's specific backcountry winter pack

Overview

The Deuter Freerider 28L SL - Womens Pack pack has clever winter-specific details like access to the main compartment via a fully opening back panel. This gives you good oversight of the contents and it also means the carry system stays dry.

But even if a little snow does get onto the carry system, the new hard-wearing, breathable, snow-resistant fabric will keep your back dry.

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

And when it comes to safety, the Freerider has it all worked out. It features a separate, easy-to-access compartment for your probe and shovel so that your avalanche equipment is quick to access in an emergency.

Deuter has also equipped it with their new modular attachment set-up. Two dedicated straps that attach to the gear loops on the pack allow you to affix skis, a snowboard or snowshoes to the pack in no time at all – skis diagonally across the back or in an A-frame, a snowboard or snowshoes in an upright position. These versatile gear straps can also be used as compression straps.
