The longer the tour, the more rewarding it can be, but it also requires more gear to keep you safe and comfortable. The Deuter Cruise 30 Backpack features 1850 cubic inches (30L) of storage space, so you can find perfect untracked turns with all your avy gear, food, and layers stored comfortably on your back. Its dedicated shovel pocket, ski-snowboard carrying capabilities, and back panel access enable everyday backcountry use, and a cushy, breathable Alpine Back System ensure comfort during powdery laps or more ambitious alpine descents.

• Alpine Back System features a padded back panel and two foam strips with a ventilation channel between them that draws cool air in and expels hot air out like a chimney
• Adjustable shoulder harness and waist belt feature anatomically shaped pads for exceptional all-day comfort
• Back panel hemispherical access to the main compartment lets you get to layers, crampons, or snacks while your skis/board is/are attached to the front of the pack
