The Deuter Guide 42+6 SL is the pack for mountaineers who value a comfortable, women 's-specific fit and need a durable companion for extended mountain and alpine adventures.

This model is the SL version. The SL back length is specific for women: on average, women have shorter backs than men. The carrying system in the SL model is therefore somewhat shorter than in the Deuter standard backpacks. In addition, the carrying system is specially adapted to the female anatomy.

The Guide 42+6 SL is a classically styled mountaineering day pack with ergonomic shoulder straps, detachable, padded hip fins with gear loops and an adjustable sternum strap. Built on Deuter's Alpine back system with the new Delrin U-shaped frame integrated to improve stability and distribute load evenly, the Guide 42+6 is incredibly comfortable with the perfect comfort-to-weight ratio for any action-packed expedition out in the hills. When it comes to carrying kit, the Guide 42+6 is unbeatable coming in as the largest women 's-fit bag in the Guide range, offering copious amounts of space in its 42 litre main compartment for an action packed day or a multi-day trip in the mountains.

But this isn't where the Guide 42+6's capacity ends, with that +6 proving rather handy for the overall versatility of the pack. The largest in the women's range, the Guide 42+6 comes with a fully functional, height-adjustable and removable lid that secures over the top of the bag. This lid comes with its own large zippered pocket for essentials and additional kit. It's the same story with the removable, padded hip belt that comes with its own set of pockets for easy access to phones, GPS devices or snacks. Inside the packs, there's an elasticated compartment to separate off wet clothes and hold a 3L hydration pack. Crucially, much of this additional storage can be removed, meaning the 42+6 can be used as a slimmed-down, cragging pack or a much larger pack that could be used over a series of big days camping out in the mountains.

Carrying comfort and packing conveniences aside, the Guide 42+6 is perfectly equipped for every adventure in the mountains and comes packed with all of the necessary attachment points for every climbing, hiking or alpine adventure. Featuring the new J-shaped zip on the front of the pack, the main compartment of this Guide can be accessed from top to bottom easily and efficiently - perfect for accessing your lunch or camping equipment without having to remove your full trad rack. Fully loaded with attachment points for ice axes, docking points on the top or front of the pack for a helmet carrier and a stowable strap over the top of the pack for a rope, the Guide 44+6 can do it all. Featuring compression straps down the side of the pack, the Guide can carry camping mats and trekking poles with ease, too, making this the perfect pack to climb, hike and camp all in one!
