Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

Deuter Guide 44 plus 6 Backpack Black

Season:AW26

Brand:Deuter

Code:3361326-7000

Deuter Guide 44+6 Backpack Overview

The Deuter Guide 44+6 is a technical alpine backpack designed for mountaineering, climbing and demanding mountain adventures, combining stable load control with the adaptability required for changing objectives and equipment.

Its 44+6-litre capacity provides generous space for alpine equipment, with the option to extend the volume when extra room is required. A wide range of mountaineering features, including attachments for skis and ice axes, a rope strap, a detachable helmet holder, and dedicated gear loops, makes it easy to configure the pack for different mountain activities.

For more technical objectives, the hip fins and lid can be removed, allowing the pack to be stripped back when required. The removable hip fins also make the Guide easier to use with a climbing harness.

Best For

  • Mountaineering
  • Alpine climbing
  • Ski mountaineering
  • Technical mountain adventures
  • Climbing
  • Carrying mountaineering equipment
  • Multi-day alpine trips

Materials

210D REC PA / REC PES R/S

The Guide 44+6 uses 210D recycled polyamide and recycled polyester ripstop fabric, designed to balance low weight with the durability needed for demanding alpine use. 210D refers to the weight of the yarn used, giving the fabric a relatively lightweight yet robust construction. Polyamide (nylon) adds durability, elasticity and low weight, while polyester provides resistance to tearing and abrasion with low moisture absorption. REC indicates the use of recycled resources, while the ripstop (R/S) construction reinforces the fabric to improve tear resistance, helping it withstand the stresses of regular mountain use.

Made Without Intentionally Added PFAS

The Guide 44+6 is made without intentionally added PFAS. Deuter uses DWR finishes without intentionally added PFAS, reducing reliance on the highly persistent chemicals historically used to provide water, dirt and grease repellency in outdoor textiles.

Green Button Certified

The Guide 44+6 carries the Green Button certification for its textile components. The German government-run certification considers social and environmental requirements within textile production as well as relevant company management and purchasing practices.

Bluepass Certified

The pack is a Bluepass certified product, meaning materials and production processes within the certification scope meet bluesign criteria covering areas such as resource efficiency, environmental protection, product stewardship and worker and social responsibility.

Features

Alpine Back System

Deuter's Alpine back system is designed to provide stable load control and a compact, body-hugging fit. The solid, secure carry helps maintain balance on challenging terrain and supports controlled movement, while channels between the back padding encourage airflow. The padding is covered with breathable mesh to further support ventilation and carrying comfort.

Ergonomic Backplate and Flexible Frame

An ergonomic backplate and a flexible spring-steel frame provide structure and stability when the pack is loaded. The system is designed to keep the pack close to the body, helping maintain control when moving over exposed, uneven or technical mountain terrain.

44+6-Litre Expandable Capacity

The Guide provides a 44-litre main capacity with an additional 6 litres of expandable volume, allowing carrying space to be adapted when additional equipment is required. This gives the pack greater versatility for alpine adventures where equipment requirements can vary considerably.

Removable Hip Fins

The ergonomic padded hip fins can be removed, allowing the pack to be adapted for different alpine situations. Removing them can create a more streamlined setup when wearing a climbing harness, while the VariFlex construction supports natural movement when the hip fins are in use.

Removable, Height-Adjustable Lid

The lid is both height adjustable and detachable, allowing the pack to accommodate changing loads or be stripped back when a lighter, simpler configuration is preferred. An external lid compartment provides additional storage for smaller equipment that needs to remain accessible.

J-Shaped Front Access

A J-shaped front zipper provides another route into the pack, making it easier to reach equipment stored deeper inside without relying solely on the top opening.

The main compartment can still be accessed conventionally through the top-loading drawcord and lid closure.

Alpine Equipment Attachments

The Guide 44+6 provides a comprehensive selection of attachment points for technical mountain equipment. There are ice axe attachments on both sides, side ski attachments, a rope strap and external side compression straps, allowing the pack to be configured around different alpine objectives.

Detachable Helmet Holder

A detachable mesh helmet holder provides dedicated external storage for a climbing or mountaineering helmet. It can be removed when it is not required, helping keep the pack adaptable for different activities.

Gear-Friendly Hip Fins

The hip fins feature a gear loop and ice clipper slot, providing useful attachment options for technical equipment when climbing or mountaineering. A zipped hip fin pocket also keeps smaller essentials within easy reach.

ActiveFit Shoulder Straps

ActiveFit shoulder straps provide an ergonomic, padded interface between the pack and wearer, supporting the close, stable carry required for technical terrain. Stabiliser straps allow the load position to be further controlled and refined.

Pull-Forward Adjustment

The Pull-Forward adjustment system allows the hip fins to be tightened easily, helping create a secure fit around the hips for efficient load control.

Hydration Compatible

The Guide 44+6 is compatible with hydration systems up to 3 litres, allowing water to remain readily accessible while moving.

Wet Compartment

An internal wet compartment provides separated storage, helping keep damp or wet equipment away from other contents inside the main pack.

Glasses Stow System

A dedicated glasses stow system provides a convenient place to secure glasses when they are not being worn.

Safety Details

The pack includes an SOS label and safety whistle, providing useful safety-focused details for mountain adventures. The sternum strap buckle can also be operated with one hand for straightforward adjustment.

Key Clip

An integrated key clip provides a secure place for keys and other small essentials that could otherwise become lost among larger equipment.

How Does It Fit?

The Deuter Guide 44+6 uses a compact, body-hugging Alpine back system designed to keep the load close and secure. Its ergonomic back padding and carry system help maintain balance and allow controlled movement across technical terrain. VariFlex hip fins, ActiveFit shoulder straps, stabiliser straps and Pull-Forward adjustment work together to secure and stabilise the load, while the hip fins can be removed when a more streamlined setup is required.
