{"product_id":"deuter-updays-26","title":"Updays 26","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter Updays 26 is a light ski touring pack for skinning up, skiing down and doing it again. At 710 g it carries the avalanche kit, skins and a layer without slowing you on the climb, and the skis go on and off your back without the pack coming off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSki tourers who move fast: dawn laps on the Main Range from Guthega, a day tour up Mount Feathertop, or spring corn in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Deuter rate it five out of five for ski touring, and the recommended 4-8 kg load is shovel, probe, skins, ski crampons, water, a warm layer and lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e26 litres puts a shovel blade and handle in the reinforced safety compartment, a probe and a down jacket in the main body, a 3 L bladder in its sleeve, and skins or crampons in the easy-access bottom compartment. A zipped front compartment holds goggles, a beanie and snacks. The pack measures 51 x 31 x 23 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lite back system keeps the pack close and light, with a soft foam back pad that you can remove to save more weight. Ventilated shoulder straps and breathable, padded hip fins stop you overheating on the skin track, and a 2-way adjustable sternum strap with a signal whistle holds the load still on the way down. The sternum strap comes off when you want it gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Updays 26 comes in one size with a wide range: back lengths of 38-54 cm, for skiers around 158-195 cm tall. Fit it over your touring shell, set the hip fins on your hip bones, then snug the shoulder straps so the pack does not shift when you kick-turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quick-fix diagonal ski carry is the trick: drop the ski tails into the sliding loop, swing the tips over and hook the bungee to your shoulder strap, all without taking the pack off at a bootpack. The bottom compartment lets you pull out skins or crampons with the pack still on. An integrated helmet net stows a helmet on the outside and can be removed, and an ice axe attachment and key clip round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-fix diagonal ski carry, detachable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced safety compartment for shovel blade and handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-access bottom compartment for skins and crampons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZipped front compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated, removable helmet net; ice axe attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L; signal whistle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e710 g for 26 litres with an avalanche compartment and full ski carry.
