The long-established German outdoor brand "Deuter," founded in 1898, has continuously introduced innovative technologies—like the "Air Comfort System" that enhances backpack breathability and stability—earning the strong trust of serious mountain lovers. The brand is especially known for products that excel in comfortably carrying heavy loads.
Now, responding to the recent "Light & Fast" trend and the boom in trail running, "Deuter" has launched the Traick backpack, a product that breaks away from its traditional image. To learn more, we visited Iwatani-Primus and spoke with Hideaki Kanemaki from their product division.
A Vest-type Pack that "Wears" Rather than "Carries"—The All-stretch Fabric Delivers an Outstanding Fit

Tents, sleeping bags, mats, rainwear, gas burners, cookware—outdoor gear is lighter and more compact than ever. Still, when you’re hiking with enough food, water, and all that equipment stuffed into a pack for a tent stay, it’s hard not to envy fast hikers and trail runners breezing ahead with a small, vest-style backpack, embracing the "Light & Fast" vibe.
