Designed for unisex use, the Deuter FREESCAPE TOUR 40 backpack is intended for ski tourers and mountaineers who tackle a series of technical high-mountain traverses. With a 40-liter capacity and a lightweight design weighing just 1,160 g, it offers ample storage for challenging outings without unnecessarily weighing you down. Its LiteSnow back system is one of its standout features: the snow-repellent back panel keeps your back dry even in the heaviest snow conditions.

Technical carrying performance designed for ski traverses with the FREESCAPE TOUR 40

The Alpine back system features ergonomic, padded shoulder straps and hip stabilizers designed to distribute the load during long ascents. The hip belts feature a gear loop and a dedicated slot for an ice screw, allowing for quick access to small gear without having to open the pack. The adjustable waistbelt and position-adjustment straps allow for a precise fit tailored to each user’s body shape, including a back length calibrated for size M. The height-adjustable flap adds extra flexibility depending on the load volume.

Attachments and access designed for winter mountaineering

The FREESCAPE TOUR 40 features multiple attachment points to meet the demands of alpine terrain. Skis can be attached laterally or diagonally, while a front snowshoe attachment is integrated for mixed-terrain approaches. Ice axe loops are available on both sides, and a retractable mesh helmet holder frees up space when not in use. A rope loop completes the package. The rear U-shaped zipper opening provides easy access to the main compartment without having to unpack everything—a practical advantage during mountain transitions.

Interior Organization and Gear Compatibility

The main compartment is accessed via a roll-top closure, complemented by a zippered front pocket and a dedicated front pocket for avalanche gear; its separate location ensures immediate access in an emergency. A side pocket and external side compression straps allow you to adjust the volume based on your load. The internal wet compartment keeps wet items separate from the rest of the contents. The fleece-lined pocket protects goggles from impacts and the cold. The pack is also compatible with a hydration system holding up to 3 liters, and a key clip holds small everyday accessories.

Sustainable Materials and Environmental Certifications

The outer fabrics are made from 100% recycled yarns, combining 210D polyamide, 235D recycled polyamide, and 330D ripstop. The design is completely PFAS-free, and the main fabric is Bluesign® certified, meeting the strictest standards for environmental protection, workplace safety, and consumer protection. The product is also Green Button and ClimatePartner certified, for users who are mindful of the environmental impact of their winter backpacking gear.
