The not so brief history of Deuter backpacks

Deuter of Augsburg, Germany, has been in the backpack business since 1898 - longer than any other backpack brand in the world - and is represented in over 45 countries!

There is one thing that all Deuter products have in common... They are designed with a wealth of experience and innovative creativity, always keeping our consumers' comfort and satisfaction in mind. The Deuter team consists of outdoor enthusiasts who share in the love of nature and the pursuit of outdoor adventure.
