The lightweight, technical Futura 25 SL hiking backpack is specifically designed for women. With a shorter back, narrower shoulder straps and conical shaped hip fins, it creates a solid, secure fit, transferring the load effectively to the shoulders and hips. The new-style mesh on the Aircomfort back system creates maximum airflow across the back for athletic hiking. This results in 25% less perspiration and consequently, increased performance. The stretch mesh front pocket is great for airing wet clothes on the move (after a quick dip in a mountain stream, for example), and the front pocket and zippered mesh pockets on the hip fins provide ample space for items that need to be accessed in a hurry. The Futura series body fabric is bluesign® certified and PFC free.
All our SL (Slim Line) models are developed by a specialist team of women. The back system is designed specifically to suit the female anatomy with:
A SHORTER BACK
Women tend to have shorter backs than men. Our SL back systems are adapted to the female anatomy and are therefore shorter.
NARROWER SHOULDER STRAPS
The SL shoulder straps follow a distinct S-shape and feature soft edges on both sides. In addition, they taper towards the ends for a seamless fit around the shoulder area – no pinching or chaffing. The shoulder straps are also more close-set to suit women‘s narrower shoulders.
CONICAL HIP FINS
When fastened, the SL waist belt forms a cone shape that wraps around the female anatomy. Close set anchor points at a slight inward angle, combined with the ergonomic shape of the SL hip fins, creates a fit that molds itself perfectly around the hips.

"Tell us more about your COMPANY / PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY... "
Business must operate in harmony with people and the natural world. This basic sustainability principle underpins our corporate philosophy. Preserving natural and man-made resources is at its core, as is adopting responsible practices to make sure we tread as lightly as possible, so that future generations can also enjoy the places we love. Responsibility is at the heart of everything we do and woven into the fabric of who we are. Responsibility toward our customers and our employees means offering our customers durable, high-quality products and ensuring fair working conditions for our employees, who work hard to create these products. And because we can achieve more together, we work closely with our longstanding partners in manufacturing and design, recruit further partners with specialist skills and knowledge, and measure our efforts against the highest standards. For example, we are members of the Fair Wear Foundation, have adopted the bluesign® system, are members of the Bündnis für nachhaltige Textilen (Partnership for Sustainable Textiles), and are actively involved in social projects such as 1% for the Planet, Climate Partner, EOCA (European Outdoor Conservation Association), Nepalhilfe and Blackpackers. Our yarn is made from 50% recycled materials. This results in approximately 12% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
The body fabric of the Futura 25 SL is bluesign® certified. We opted not to use PVC to coat the mesh on the back system and ensured it is still comfortable and effective. And like all new deuter products since 2020, it is also PFC free.
"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"
1. This application was entirely written by women2. The product was developed and designed by a man who knows what women want :-)3. For anyone who misses our popular yellow flower emblem – we‘ve changed the labeling for our SL backpacks and sleeping bags to something bolder, more self-confident and modern. The label is made of recycled card and is attached using a thin bluesign® certified rope that doubles as a wristband. The figure-eight knots tied into the wristband signify various things. They represent mountain sports where this particular knot is used to tie into a rope – i.e. survival. They also symbolize the number 8 that stands for the circle of life, for connectedness, for infinity, and infinite strength. It’s a fitting accessory for all the strong women out there, bagging summits, loving nature and blazing trails.
