{"product_id":"deuter-futura-27","title":"Futura 27","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter Futura 27 is a 27 litre hiking pack for long days on track, with the Aircomfort mesh back that keeps a gap between you and the load. It is the pack for a humid climb out of a rainforest gorge, where a pack hugging your back leaves you soaked before morning tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay walkers who carry properly: water, lunch, a shell, a warm layer and a first aid kit, with room for a camera or a pair of poles. Deuter rate it five out of five for hiking, and the 4-8 kg recommended load is exactly what a full day on the Lamington ridges or a summit walk in Kosciuszko National Park adds up to. Think Queensland summer, Blue Mountains canyons, or the long climb up Mount Bogong on a warm day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e27 litres is a generous day. A 3 L hydration bladder in the internal sleeve, a rain jacket and a fleece, lunch for two, a first aid kit and a head torch all go in the main compartment, with the lid pocket for keys and snacks. The pack measures 52 x 28 x 23 cm. Side compression straps snug it down when you are carrying less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flexi spring steel frame tensions the back mesh so it arcs away from you, and the mesh now runs right down into the lumbar area for airflow and a softer, wrapping fit. Up front, pivoting ActiveFit shoulder straps follow your arm swing, and padded hip fins with Pull-Forward adjustment pull the weight onto your hips. The shoulder straps and hip fins are padded in one continuous piece, so there is no seam to rub. Stabiliser straps and a sternum strap with a one-handed buckle finish the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Futura 27 comes in one size, made for back lengths of 44-54 cm, which Deuter match to walkers around 170-195 cm tall. Load it with a few kilos, tighten the hip fins on your hip bones first, then the shoulder straps, then the stabilisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment opens at the top under a zipped lid, and a mesh front pocket takes a map or a wet shell. Stretch side pockets hold a bottle each, and the hip fin pockets keep a phone and snacks in reach without stopping. Inside there is a wet compartment, plus a key clip, a glasses stow loop, an ice axe and pole attachment on one side, and a grab handle on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-loading main compartment with zipped lid pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMesh front pocket and stretch side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo hip fin pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain cover included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce axe and pole attachment, glasses stow, key clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1250 g empty. The steel frame and suspended mesh back weigh more than a frameless daypack, and they are why a 6 kg load stays stable and your shirt stays drier on a hot climb. If you want the lightest possible pack for a quick summit, look at a Deuter Speed Lite instead; if you walk all day in heat, the Futura is the one we'd reach for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is 210D recycled polyamide X-Grid with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS, and the pack is bluepass and Green Button certified. Deuter cover it with a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deuter","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":67692548325485,"sku":"10508710001OS","price":336.83,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Greystone Alu","offer_id":67692548358253,"sku":"10508712435OS","price":336.83,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nightblue Baltic","offer_id":67692548391021,"sku":"10508712436OS","price":336.83,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cherry Masala","offer_id":67692548423789,"sku":"10508712437OS","price":336.83,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/1708\/1197\/files\/futura-27-5-black-377468e9466f1917e0c312fdec0c3817.jpg?v=1792532460","url":"https:\/\/ozbackcountry.co.nz\/products\/deuter-futura-27","provider":"Oz Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
