From REI:
"Bi-laminate foam hipbelt with 3D Air Mesh stabilizes and controls lateral movements of pack while on the go; hipbelt features a valuables pocket. Bottom compartment features a zippered divider, separating gear and clothes from sleeping bag. Built-in rain cover can be pulled out in a flash, protecting your pack from sudden downpours. Contoured, padded shoulder straps are lined with MeshTex fabric for breathability and feature stabilizer straps for ideal proper positioning of pack. Deuter patented Aircomfort suspension design allows warm air to escape and fresh air to circulate between pack body and wearer. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Made from ripstop 420-denier nylon, PU coated 600-denier polyester and PU coated 1000-denier polymide for extreme abrasion resistance and light weight. Main compartment has plenty of room for an overnight or lightweight weekend trip; two side mesh pockets are roomy enough for water bottles and snacks. Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Suspension consists of spring steel frame that is flexible and light, and tensioned to support the suspended mesh for ventilation. This top-loading weekender pack offers an impressive array of technical features for comfort and ease of use. Top lid pocket and side bellows pockets store often accessed gear such as headlamp, first-aid kit, sunscreen, multi-tools and much more. Two front slash pockets store your map, compass/GPS, spare batteries and other small gear/equipment."
From RockCreek:
"The Deuter Futura 42 is an excellent pack for mountain climbing and short backpacking trips. You guys of the "light and fast" mentality will love it for much longer ventures. It has plenty of external pockets and a comfortable ergonomic suspension that keeps you cool and keeps the load riding just right. The Aircomfort Futura suspension and padded hip-belt are superior to that of most other packs this size. The Futura 42 is also a great climbing pack for a day at the crag. With its excellent quality and durability, it can handle the abuse.*See sizing chart for more information on the Futura Suspension System"
