Designed for unisex use, the Deuter FREESCAPE TOUR 32 is intended for ski tourers tackling technical mountain traverses. With a volume of 32 liters, it offers the capacity needed to carry a full day’s worth of gear for high-altitude mountaineering, without sacrificing carrying comfort. Its LiteSnow back system is one of its most distinctive features, keeping your back dry even in the most demanding snowy conditions.

The Deuter FREESCAPE TOUR 32 and its LiteSnow back system for a dry carry

The LiteSnow back system features EVA foam padding covered in Spandex, a design that prevents snow from sticking to the back of the pack. As a result, contact between the wearer and the pack remains stable and comfortable, even during falls or in deep powder conditions. The ergonomic, padded shoulder straps, combined with hip stabilizers, allow for precise load adjustment, with a recommended weight range of 4 to 8 kg. The back length, adjustable from 44 to 54 cm, ensures compatibility with a wide range of body types. Load-adjustment straps and external side compression straps round out this system to keep the load securely against the back in all conditions.

Equipment designed for technical alpine excursions

The FREESCAPE TOUR 32 includes all the attachment points needed for ski touring in alpine terrain. The ski loops, available in both diagonal and lateral positions, adapt to different carrying configurations depending on the terrain. The ice axe loops, located on both sides, and the rope loop meet the demands of challenging routes. The removable, stowable mesh helmet loop frees up space when not in use, while the front snowshoe attachment expands the pack’s versatility for mixed-terrain approaches. The front pocket designed for avalanche gear allows for quick access in an emergency, and the safety whistle integrated into the chest strap buckle remains accessible without any extra steps.

Interior Organization and Practical Details

The roll-top opening, combined with the height-adjustable flap, allows you to adjust the bag’s apparent volume based on the day’s load. The U-shaped rear zipper opening provides direct access to the main compartment without having to unpack everything. Compatibility with a hydration system holding up to 3 liters meets the needs of long days on the trail. The fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses, located in the flap compartment, protects the lenses from impacts and temperature fluctuations. An internal wet compartment, a side pocket, a key clip, and hip stabilizers featuring a gear loop and a slot for an ice screw clip round out the meticulously designed organization for winter mountaineering.

Sustainable Materials and Environmental Certifications

The backpack is constructed from 100% polyamide fabric (210D PA), with outer yarns made entirely from recycled materials. The main body fabric features a PFAS-free water-repellent treatment, an approach that reduces the environmental impact of the surface treatment. The product is certified by bluesign®, Green Button, and ClimatePartner—labels that attest to strict controls over manufacturing processes and the product’s carbon footprint. For a winter backpack designed for demanding mountain activities, these material commitments align with the values of the outdoor community.
