Things to know about Deuter

It all began in 1898 with a mechanical canvas and linen weaving mill that Hans Deuter founded in Augsburg-Oberhausen. After only a short time, the manufactory supplied the Royal Bavarian Post Office with mail bags and sacks. The foundation stone of a success story was thus laid. Over the years, Deuter expanded its product range and constantly responded to current needs. Large tents, saddlebags, satchels, backpacks and suitcases were in the range. The development of the Tauern backpack may be considered a milestone in outdoor sports. The high-quality back packs were companions on the extremely strenuous Nanga Parbat expedition in 1934 with Fritz Bechtold. Hermann Buhl also carried the Tauern Backpack on his solo ascent of the legendary first ascent of Nanga Parbat in 1953. But the revolution followed, after dark times during the Second World War and in 1968 with the first presentation of nylon backpacks. The new material shortly becomes number one on the market.

In 1990, the time had finally come. The first bike backpack from Deuter was introduced and accompanied Andi Heckmair on his bike during a four-day Alpine cross on the mountain bike. As the first bike backpack really suitable for touring, the original model Bike 1 joins the cycling history.

Even today, Deuter is primarily at home in alpine biking. With the Deuter Trans Alpine Pro 28 backpack, the brand shows what it stands for. Well thought-out products for outdoor enthusiasts. The multi-day backpack convinces with a pleasant back ventilation and includes clever stowage options. Ergonomics and good organization is the be-all and end-all on long MTB tours. With the divisible main compartment, smartphone / card pocket, rain cover, air pump compartment and the ergonomically cut shoulder straps, the Trans Alpine Pro offers an all-round carefree package.

The brand continues to evolve today. So Deuter offers not only products for multi-day tours, but also for the weekend shred or enduro racing use the right material. Bike bags or hip bags - specially tailored for the different needs of cyclists - show how innovative the backpack giant continues to advance.
