Deuter Futura 28 Backpack - 1700cu in
Ordering my 2d after a Decade!
By Drew D. August 2, 2010
I have put my beloved 1999 model Futura 28 through the wringer -- camping, hiking, backpacking, mountain/commuter biking, traveling, law school books and computer -- and it has taken everything I dished out and asked for more. I can think of few products I have ever owned that have performed this well for this long; it's been on my back comfortably for maybe every third day for a decade. In fact, I love my current one so much that I am ordering a 2010 model, and will donate my old one because there is still some good life left in it.
If you're in the market for a daypack that can take you from the classroom to the desert to the peaks to work and home again, and do so comfortably, do yourself a favor and buy this pack.
