Know before you buy
Yes, the 30-liter capacity is well-suited for light overnight trips, provided you are using compact backpacking gear. The separate bottom compartment is particularly helpful for organizing a sleeping bag or separating damp items from the rest of your pack.
The Aircomfort Sensic system uses a tensioned mesh back panel to create a gap between your back and the pack, which significantly improves airflow. While this keeps you cool, it does mean the load sits slightly further away from your body compared to a traditional contact-back pack.
Yes, the Futura 30 is fully hydration system compatible. It includes an internal sleeve and a port to route your drinking tube through the shoulder harness for easy access while hiking.
The ActiveFit shoulder straps are designed to pivot automatically, allowing them to adjust to the unique width and angle of your shoulders. This provides a customized fit without the need for manual adjustments.
The ergonomic hip fins are designed to distribute weight effectively to your hips, which helps stabilize the load. While it is excellent for day hikes and light loads, it is best suited for gear weights typically associated with a 30-liter capacity rather than heavy expedition loads.
The integrated rain cover is designed to protect your gear from standard rain showers and trail spray. It is detachable, allowing you to remove it for cleaning or to save weight if you are certain the weather will remain clear.
