Guide Lite 22 SL Women's Alpine Backpack

About the Deuter Guide Lite 22 SL

Streamlined with functionality to boot, the Guide Lite 22 SL is a women-specific pack for mountaineering adventures. Part of their Slim Line, the pack is stouter to accommodate those with a smaller back length, allowing for a better fit and consequently greater comfort.

As a true alpinist pack, the Guide Lite features the back system of the same name, a Delrin U-frame provides both stability and flex for the approach to the serac. For climbers, it’s vital for packs to fit close to the body for stability, through stripping unnecessary padding in favour of ventilated AirMesh, the Guide contours to your spine whilst still providing breathability.

S-Cut shoulder straps with a wide base allow for freedom of movement when climbing. An adjustable hip belt can be adjusted to your anatomically unique waist, allowing for comfortable weight transfer on approaches with medium loads.

As a true mountaineering pack, the Guide Lite has a range of climbing specific features. Ice axes can be stowed securely in a spike up carry formation; a sleeve on the face of the pack holds the head in place while length adjustable bungee cord secures the shaft. Skis can be carried on side compression straps or on the face of the pack. Gear loops on the hip fins offer additional racking options of climbing hardware.

The Guide range from Deuter is specifically designed for mountaineering, consequently, they have a streamlined design with flattened straps to minimise snagging whilst on a rock face. Constructed entirely from tightly woven 100D PA Nylon Ripstop for high abrasion resistance, the pack can stand up to the worst of mountain environments.
