{"product_id":"deuter-freerider-28-sl","title":"Freerider 28 SL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deuter Freerider 28 SL is a light, women's-fit snow pack for days that start on the lifts and finish off the groomers. Skis or a board ride on the outside, your shovel and probe sit in their own pocket, and the back panel shrugs off snow instead of soaking it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen who ride freeride lines, sidecountry gates and short tours: a lap off the back of Thredbo, a hike to the Main Range from Charlotte Pass, or a day in the Japanese backcountry. Deuter rate it five out of five for both freeride and ski touring or splitboarding. The recommended load of 4-8 kg covers avalanche essentials, water, food and a spare layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCapacity, and what actually fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28 litres takes a puffy jacket, spare gloves and goggles, lunch, a thermos and a first aid kit in the main body, with your shovel blade, handle and probe in the separate front avalanche pocket. The pack measures 52 x 32 x 20 cm, slim enough to sit on a chairlift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LiteSnow back uses EVA foam pads covered in Spandex, shaped with recesses so snow cannot cling and melt into your layers. A flexible Delrin U-frame holds the shape, padded shoulder straps and hip fins take the load, and stabiliser straps keep it tight through turns. The sternum strap buckle works one-handed, even in gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSL is Deuter's women's fit: a shorter back and a harness shaped for the female body. The Freerider 28 SL fits back lengths of 38-48 cm, which Deuter match to riders about 158-178 cm tall. Fit it over the layers you ride in, with the hip fins on your hip bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eAccess and organisation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA U-shaped rear zip runs below the shoulder straps and opens the whole main compartment from the back, so you can dig out a layer while your skis or board stay strapped on. A top zip gives quick access too. Inside are a wet compartment and a zipped mesh pocket; outside, a fleece-lined goggle pocket, zipped hip fin pockets, a glasses stow and a key clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSki carry at the side or diagonal; snowboard and snowshoe carry on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pocket for avalanche equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable mesh helmet holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIce axe attachment on one side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleece-lined goggle pocket; zipped hip fin pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydration compatible, up to 3 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety whistle on the sternum strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e980 g with the frame, the snow-shedding back and a full set of carry options.
