The body is recycled polyamide and polyester ripstop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClimbers and mountaineers on alpine routes, glacier days and multi-pitch approaches. Deuter rate it five out of five for climbing and mountaineering and three for ski touring. Think Aoraki\/Mount Cook National Park, a winter ascent in the Snowy Mountains, or a big day at Frenchmans Cap with a rack and rope, carrying the 6-12 kg it is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e34 litres takes a rope, harness, rack, helmet, a belay jacket and food for a long day, and the lid lifts to add 6 litres when you need the space. A wet compartment inside keeps a damp shell off the rest, the zipped lid pocket takes a head torch and topo, and a 3 L hydration bladder fits in its sleeve. The pack measures 66 x 29 x 24 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeuter's Alpine back pairs an ergonomic backplate with a flexi spring steel frame, so a heavy rack and rope sit stable and close while air can still move. ActiveFit shoulder straps follow your arm swing on a scramble, VariFlex hip fins with Pull-Forward adjustment move with your hips, and stabiliser straps and a one-handed sternum buckle keep the load quiet on technical ground. The hip fins carry a gear loop, an ice clipper slot and a zipped pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guide 34+6 is one size for back lengths of 44-54 cm, matched to climbers around 170-195 cm tall. Check the hip fins sit clear of your harness belay loop and gear loops before a route; if they get in the way, take them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt loads from the top under a drawcord and lid, and a J-shaped zip on the front opens the main compartment so you can grab a jacket from the middle without unpacking the rope. Ice axes go on either side, skis carry at the sides, a rope strap holds a coil over the top, and a detachable mesh helmet holder takes your lid on the approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-loader with drawcord and height-adjustable, detachable lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ-zip front opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce axe attachment on both sides; ski attachment at the side; rope strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable mesh helmet holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable hip fins with gear loop, ice clipper slot and zipped pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable backplate; hydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1210 g fully built.
