Deuter Trans Alpine Pro 28 Men’s Bike Backpack

The deuter Trans Alpine Pro 28 is a men’s bike backpack designed for Alpine crossings and demanding multi-day rides. Its organised compartments, adjustable fit and hydration-system compatibility suit riders carrying tools, clothing and other tour essentials, while the 28-litre capacity makes it a more focused choice than a large trekking pack.
