 Great deals and trail knowledge we're the gear specialists at backcountry, edge, awesome gear, amazing service, see you on the trail. You 

This is the Deuter trail 30 backpack Deuter, designed this light, durable pack for Alpine climbers hikers and others who play at high altitude. That attention to detail means that you get bungees for poles loops for carabiners, a custom-fit rain cover and a lid that doesn't bump you in the back of the head. The pack employs the air contact system, which uses a flexible but strong u-shaped frame. To give the pack support the ventilation channel in the centre allows air to move through helping you stay cool and dry

Deuter Trail 30 Day Pack

  Only four stars due to fit, otherwise would have been five stars.  Now searching for a larger torso pack..

Not for guys 6’4 or taller

 if you need them in tight or if you need them out wide, the pack strap pack straps automatically accommodate whatever your body shape is, again just adding more and more comfort. Uh, let's see the sternum strap Nice and easy, adjustable on the piping on the slider. Adjustable shoulder straps for length so that you can get the hip belt exactly where you want it on your body. The hip belt itself is nice and wide, so again, when you're making that wrap around your hips, there's a, you know, more surface area, more contact that's going to help carry the weight that's inside your pack and also keep things really comfortable on your hips

 Just right for me. Worked out great I Was happy that I had the opportunity to carry it. Deuter has a pack brand may not be as well known as some others, but honestly Deuter is a wonderful option. You should seek him out

 a nice little little side pocket, and even a couple of little stash Pockets here that, uh, you know, maybe a gel I don't know. Another another stash spot, you know yesterday's hike was just awesome. Enjoy your Trail 30. I Can say the same

 Super comfortable. Um, a nice touch. Nice added feature. and I'm seeing a zipper pull here

MURRAY'S REVIEWS: The Deuter 30 Trail Day Pack, a HIKE ROCKY excusive

 See what looks like? they will do that too. That's cool that stuff back into there. You've got a one strap to lock the top down here and you've got some extra space on the front here to store some things. and you can also store some things

 And you've also got your slot of course for your camel back in here like that. So there you have it all my stuff that was in there so So pack holds quite a bit. Everything you need for sweet long day hike. and if you have to have or come into some inclement weather it's already geared like that

 You've got a one strap to lock the top down here and you've got some extra space on the front here to store some things. and you can also store some things. Well, that's the side side entrance there so that's kind of windy and you've got that on one side. What you also have is the ability to just open the entire pack from the top like that, so that's kind of handy

Deuter ACT Trail 30 BackPack Review

The Deuter Trail 30 is a lightweight and durable backpack designed for day hiking, climbing, and skiing. The Trail 30 is a panel loader with a U-shaped front zipper that opens the main compartment for easy access, in addition to drawstring access under a top lid. A combination of open and closed pockets makes it well suited for four-season and off-trail use when you want more closed storage and thermal insulation for hot liquids or extra clothing.Specs at a GlanceBackpack Storage and OrganizationThe Trail 30 has two means of storage access, one through the top through a drawstring closure covered by a top lid and the second, through a large U-shaped front zipper that provides panel access

Deuter Trail 30 Backpack Review

 Comfortable, stylish, well made and great logistics i.e. pockets etc. Very adjustable with simple well made straps

Looked at alot of rusksacks for hiking. This rucksack is awesome. Comfortable, stylish, well made and great logistics i.e

Very comfortable, Great quaility, Great space/pockets

My name is Ryan and this is the Deuter Trail 30 Backpack. Are you looking for a backpack to take care of all your day hike needs? Well, I think this is the one that you should consider. I primarily purchased this backpack last summer about six months ago to Summit 14ers in Colorado and I wanted a backpack that could carry all the gear that I needed but still feel light on my back and do whatever I needed to do. and I found that this Deuter backpack has really fit the bill

 I do a lot of alone hiking just in the middle of nowhere. It's nice to have some music on because it lets you know that you know, lets the wild animals know that you're coming and you don't have to worry about surprising. You know an animal that you don't want to surprise. As you can see here, I've got the trekking poles hooked up to this already

 You know an animal that you don't want to surprise. As you can see here, I've got the trekking poles hooked up to this already. deuters really thought out how to connect these. I think this backpack is perfect, but I've also started using this backpack for just shorter, uh, one or two hour trips up a small summit because it just feels so light on my back and it fits so well

 If you have cold hands, you need to get into them, they're just really easy to use and normally in a backpack you would always just reach your gear from opening up this top section of the sack and you'd reach down inside. Well, what Deuter has done is they've also made this a zip area on the main compartment so you can open it like you would a suitcase and that has been a really nice feature. to be able to take the backpack off, access whatever I need in the main compartment without sticking my hand in the top and jumbling everything up. That's been really nice

On the other end of the spectrum lies the ZPacks Arc Blast 55. It is a unique and highly specific pack in that it weighs almost nothing yet still can carry over 20 pounds. With a measured weight of 21.3 ounces, it's a great deal lighter than most in our fleet. Made from Dyneema Composite Fabric &#40;DFC&#41;, it's incredibly durable, though the fabric is a bit stiff and crunchy. Beware of sharp metal edges &#40;bear canisters or climbing gear&#41;, since they can easily be worn through the fabric. A relatively recent update includes changes to the straps, pockets, and waist belt. The pack has also seen a carrying capacity increase from 52 to 55 liters. 
The Arc Blast is a slimmed-down ultralight machine with no bells or whistles. The frame is super light and a bit complicated; we do not recommend removing it unless you want to spend a great deal of time reassembling the pack. A bear canister only fits into this slender pack vertically, making it a little less-than-efficient to pack. We recommend this pack to any experienced ultralighter looking to strip a few ounces off their Big Four base weight.

* Large - [Can fit a Bearicade Expedition bear canister]([URL REMOVED] Can handle excess weight - It is comfortable even if you have to load up a lot of water or have 11 days of food in a bear canister.

 I like that this pack can handle excess weight such as when you have excess food or water in the pack. If I got another pack I would definitely choose one that offers a similar feature.

**Overview**: This is long term review of the Zpacks Arc Blast. I got this pack as a Christmas gift in 2018. I've used it for hundreds of miles and at least a dozen trips. I was not involved in the customer service or ordering of the pack other than I asked for it for Christmas and was under the tree in time for Christmas

The pack has proven itself to be durable under bad bushwhacking conditions. I have scraped it pretty badly on trees and brush and only the outer polyester layer of fabric has [punctured or torn]([URL REMOVED] The inner layer of DCF is unscathed. Under general scratchy scraping through brush there is no damage whatsoever.

- ZPacks Arc Blast - Sort of unbeatable for the frame comfort at the weight. Genuinely waterproof. Pricey. I don't own one, but I've tried it on for half a day to feel it out

 In case you want to hear what "waterproof" really means; I'll tell you, it's this, not something that requires a rainfly - I've taken this pack through its paces on really demanding long trips, including one that required ~50 river crossings in about 3 days and I've left it outside my bivy overnight in drenching rainstorms. Never had wet gear. I think it holds weight well and undersells the interior space because you can extend the roll-top.

 Pricey. I don't own one, but I've tried it on for half a day to feel it out. Reminds me a bit of the airflow on my Exos frame. The DCF is thin, but if you're not putting serious thru-hiking miles on it, you probably won't have durability issues

Hey fellow backpackers,

I'm looking to replace my Teton 3400 pack with something more lightweight and/or comfortable. Right now I'm between the Mariposa 60 Backpack, 40-60L Sierra Designs Flux Capacitor, or Osprey Atmos 50 or 60 but I'm open for other considerations. Max capacity around 60L and max weight of 5 pounds (ideally around 3 pound mark). I'm looking for something with decent exterior pockets including hip pockets and easy access pockets/mounts for bear spray. I've been trying to minimize gear weight to make the weight of my camera gear more manageable but if a pack can make a load more comfortable then that would be okay too. This pack would be for multi-day trips through significant elevation changes. Water resistance out of the box would be favorable too. I'm also slightly below the average male height in the US for size considerations. If you have any experience with these packs or have another you'd recommend that would be great.

Thanks!

Looking to Upgrade Pack

On paper, this pack still won out. Weight, load carry capacity, variable torso length and hipbelt size, cuben fiber qualities(weight, waterproof, durability), ventilated back panel are all key features that in conjunction with eachother make this pack stand out against the rest. 

The ventilated mesh back panel is a must for me. I'm in Southern California so prevention of lava back is a big deal. If you're in a colder climate, then I can see how this isn't important. If I am hiking in winter then I'm taking my Xenith 75 where I have to carry more weight and back sweat isn't an issue (I'd never take this in warm weather)

 I've noticed that the pack is more stable downhill from this change. The main thing is being able to access items while hiking. Things move down so things I used to put in the hood I put in the side pockets, more sensitive items I put in the hipbelts. 

Excellent Pack

 So I recently got out my old Relay and repaired some holes and added KS50-like carbon poles (that don't make an arc) on the pack and a proper large pocket for the back and some other features. It's even better now. It's getting old but it's got new life.

I backpack a bunch. One AT thru hike and a bunch of other stuff. Here are the backpacks I have used so far.

1. Osprey Talon 44. Still don't understand why this is not a more used ultralight pack. It was my pack for 2190 miles. It was trashed, I am not sentimental, I threw it away after my thru hike.
2. On the last 170 miles of the Long Trail I used the Granite Gear Vapor Trail 60 limited edition. Bought it because it was cheap. It worked well but wanted to get lighter. I let a friend borrow it a few months ago don't know if I will get it back or use again.
3. Gossamer Gear G4-20. Used it 14+ nights so far replaced the back pad with Various CCF pads. Worked well but not 5+ days or during the winter because of lack of frame. I still own this and will use again for everything 3 season less than 3 or 4 days.
4. Just ordered a HMG 3400 Southwest. I am thinking great winter and 5+ day pack and good for places you need a bear can.

What is your backpack history?

What is the best backpack? My history.

I'll voice this opinion, too:  Since much of the weight of a Bearikade is in the flat end pieces and not the carbon fiber cylinder, one might as well get a larger size to use as a camp stool.
