The new waterproof alpine backpack: deuter Vertrail 16

The hard-wearing material, lid construction, taped and welded seams, and TPU-coated zippers combine to protect contents from moisture in this lightweight alpine pack. The wide, vest-style shoulder straps and soft material against the back wrap around the torso to create a seamless fit and unrestricted freedom of movement - when pushing your limits over varied terrain.

how much weight can it carry?

[@DeuterTV]

Hey Stefano, we recommend a load capacity of 1-3 kg. 🤗

[@st3cks-8]

@@DeuterTV only 3kg? in the videos and pictures I saw accessories such as helmets, ice axes, hydration bags and climbing ropes which together weigh more than 3kg 😅

​@@st3cks-8same thought 😅

​@@DeuterTV So I've bought this thing because it's so multifunctional and lite. I can assure you that 3 kg is not even close to the weight when packed with gear like shown in the video... At least not if you have to carry even a drop of water. So it can hold up to 3 liter water reservoirs. Fine.. That would make 3 kg. I have very lite equipment and with ice axe, iron, poles, Ferrata stuff and a helmet I basically reach 3 kg including the bagback. Ading 2 to 3 liters of water makes it at best 5 to 6 kg, and by that point you don't have any rope packed. I see where the 3 kg come from, because it lacks the hip belt it gets quite uncomfortable once past 5 kg. So if you keep it very minimalistic it is possible to stay within the recommended weight limit. Overall still a great bag. But 3 kg is a very conservative recommendation. 😅
