Deuter Freescape Tour 40

The Freescape Tour 40 is Deuter’s multi-day ski touring pack, built around the LiteSnow back system: a snow-shedding EVA foam padding with water-repellent materials that keep the back dry through long ascents in wet and variable conditions. At 1,160g for 40 litres of genuine alpine-spec capacity, it sits on the lighter end of the category without stripping the feature set down to get there.

Access is the main practical detail. The roll-top main compartment with height-adjustable lid expands volume without restricting head movement, and the back panel zip gives quick access to the main compartment without removing skis or a board. The front avalanche safety pocket keeps beacon, probe, and shovel separate and reachable fast. Fleece-lined goggle pocket in the lid. Rope strap, dual ice axe loops, side and diagonal ski attachment, snowshoe carry on the front panel. Stowable mesh helmet holder, two hip belt pockets, side pocket, key clip.

The 210-denier 100% polyamide shell is PFC-free, bluesign certified, and Green Button certified. Adjustable chest strap with whistle, ergonomic padded hip fins, hydration compatible.

Worth knowing: one size fits a fixed 54cm torso length. For tourers with a shorter torso, Deuter makes the Freescape Tour 38 SL on a women’s-specific back system and shorter length.
