Deuter Futura Pro 42 EL Backpack

Deuter Futura Pro 42 EL Outdoor Backpack

The Deuter Futura Pro 42 EL is a lightweight, technical Futura EL hiking backpack designed specifically for taller individuals (> 185 cm) and athletic days on the trail. The Aircomfort back system is exceptionally comfortable, and the new mesh design creates maximum airflow across the back. The result is 25% less sweating and, consequently, increased performance. The flexible mesh front pocket is great for venting wet gear on the go (e.g., after a quick dip in a mountain stream).

Deuter Futura Pro 42 EL Materials

210D PA RECYCLED

SUSTAINABLE: 50% of the yarn is made from recycled materials. Its main material is made of bluesign®-certified material.

210D PA RECYCLED

600D PES

Woven from 600-denier polyester yarn and featuring a thick PU coating, this tear-resistant and lightweight fabric is extremely versatile. When it comes to keeping the backpack's weight as low as possible with moderate stress, it's the ideal solution. The "Deuter Super Polytex BS" version is manufactured in accordance with the stringent bluesign® standard. Its properties and stress factors are identical.

D stands for denier. This refers to the yarn weight. 600D corresponds to 600 grams per 9,000 meters.

PES stands for polyester. PES fibers are highly resistant to tears and abrasion and virtually moisture-absorbing.

PA stands for polyamide. PA fibers are extremely durable and abrasion-resistant. They are also characterized by high elasticity and low weight.
Deuter Futura Pro 42 EL Details

Organized System

Organized: The transparent compartment design (covered compartment, side zippered gusseted pockets, separate lower compartment, and spacious main compartment) keeps contents organized and neat.

More Energy: The airy mesh back system maximizes airflow across the back, allowing hot air and moisture vapor to evaporate quickly, improving performance.

Comfortable Carrying

Comfortable Carrying: The deuter Aircomfort Sensic Pro system, featuring movable VariFlex ECL hip fins and body-hugging, swiveling ActiveFit shoulder straps, allows for comfortable carrying of medium-weight loads with zero load swing and minimal effort.

Extra Long

Our Extra Long (EL) backpacks guarantee excellent carrying comfort for taller individuals! Athletes between 1.85 and 2.00 meters often struggle to find a suitable backpack.

Deuter Aircomfort System

Thanks to the ergonomic Aircomfort Sensic Pro mesh back and flexible hip fins, medium loads can be carried with ease and excellent ventilation. The innovative structure of the hip fin section and the fluid flow to the back mesh hug the wearer and ensure a comfortable fit with maximum ventilation. The Aircomfort mesh, kept constantly taut by the elastic spring steel frame, creates a ventilation space between the backpack and the back, through which warm, moist air can evaporate freely.

50% recycled

50% of the yarn is produced from recycled raw materials. This can save 12% of greenhouse gases.

PFAS-free

This product is free of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFASs have water, dirt, and oil-repellent properties, but they are persistent chemicals that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.

Instead, Deuter uses durable water-repellent finishes (DWR) that are harmless to human and animal health, environmentally friendly, and free of these persistent chemicals.
