1 Deuters integrated Shield System features a multi-layer

construction which minimises, or even prevents injury occur-

ing during a fall. Mutually complementary foam layers andplates combine to give comfort and maximum safety during

a fall. The shock-absorbing core component is the viscoelastic

SC-1* Foam. SC-1* Foam sets benchmark standards with its

progressive shock-absorption function. A slow impact increase

leads to the PSA back protector reacting gradually, whereas a

rapid impact shock means the protectors resistance increases

progressively quicker. The SC1 foam also features a Memory

Effect after a deformation it goes back in its original shape

and can therefore be used again and again. Two layers of PE

offer additional protection against sharp or pointed objects

while soft foam pads guarantee carry comfort.

2 Shoulder straps are contoured.

3 V-Shape protects sensitive back areas (spine and shoulderblades) and also provides great freedom of movement.

4 The spaces between the padding allow for comfortable air

circulation.

5 Extra wide, anatomic cut waist finsadd flexibility and free-

dom of movement in any riding position and also ensure the

pack sits tight up against the back.

for our integrated Windshield the high visibility,neon yellow rain cover refined with fitted collar, draw

and thus improve road traffic safety. And for each Superbike

model you can decide between a strong and a toned-down

colour. Women go for the SL model specifically adapted to the

Mihail Mihov, Product Manager at Odysseia-in,our Bulgarian distributor

Jan Lundin, International Sportswear Company,our Swedish distributor

Being surrounded by

water, our key environ-

mental concerns here in

Sweden, I would say, are

related to the protectionof water resources. For

the Baltic Sea, for exam-

ple, one of the central is-

sues is eutrophication,

the excessive concentra-

tion of nutrients in the

ecosystem as a result of

human activity. There are

quite a few projects dedicated to the protection of the

Baltic Sea. Naturskyddsfreningen (The Swedish Soci-

ety for Nature Conservation) and The World Wide Fund

(WWF) are just two of the organizations that have

started important projects on this subject. Both the sea

eagle and the grey seals were almost exterminated in

the 1970s. They were saved, however, because pres-

sure from the people and organizations led to political

actions and the banning of certain toxic substances.

We cannot act on all fronts, but we truly believe that

we all can take action and do something! For us that

means that we buy organic food and MSC-certified

fish products, we try to use the car less often, only use

environmentally friendly detergents, recycle waste and

we support projects we believe in. We also hope that

each of us can inspire people to do likewise.

There are plenty of environmental issues in Bulgaria:

overconstruction in nature protected areas; destruc-

tion of landscapes; loss of biodiversity; spoilt water

sources; illegal cutting in the forests; usage of pesti-

cides and other harmful chemical compounds within

the soils area etc. But on the other hand, there is a

growing environmental awareness and more andmore people join to act against destruction and en-

hance sustainability.

In a country like Bulgaria in par ticular, we depend on

the politics of small steps! At the office we separate

the trash, re-use lots of stuff, save energy and we

bike to work. We all love nature and the outdoors

and we think its our responsibility to tell people

about the problems as well as about the opportuni-

ties for a change.

We support various projects not only by donating

money, but by volunteer work. Its a great feeling to

get into the wilderness with a group of like-minded

people and literally work on preserving nature. This

involves cleaning actions as well as a project where

we build on a sustainable and energy sufficient moun-

tain lodge with 47 beds in the Central Balkan Na-

tional Park. We use solar panels, managed to install

WiFi, and even constructed a solar composting toilet

which is quite an experiment at this elevation (For

more information www.ehoto.org)

We take our small steps to

save our environment main-

ly on a local level but were

also very much interested in

what is happening in the big

wide world. Therefore, we ap-

proached some of our distrib-

utors and asked them aboutthe environmental situation

in their home countries and

we learned about their own

little contributions to envi-

ronmental protection. Onething is for sure: thereis a lot happening ona local level globally!

More and more people pay attention to environmen-

tal as well as safety issues in Taiwan. The interest is

particularly strong when it comes to water and soil pol-

lution, as well as water and energy shortage. There is

a growing popularity of organic food and people lookmore into health safety. It is great to see this increasing

awareness for a green, sustainable economy, carbon

reduction and waste recycling.

For us in ATUNAS, developing environment-friendly,

long-lasting products, and promoting LNT (Leave no

Trace) concepts are the essential ways to show our

care and respect for Mother Nature. LNT is a program

designed to assist outdoor enthusiasts in their plans of

minimizing their ecological footprint when they are out

in nature biking, paddling, hiking etc. It is an educa-

tional and ethical program, not a set of rules or regula-

tions Also, this year is the centennial anniversary of

Taiwan, and ATUNAS continues its initiatives on climb-

ing mountains here in our neighborhood (100 little

mountains). Along the ways, we have integrated points

where people are educated about LNT with games and

can read about the ideas on boards etc. Outdoors is

where we learn and understand our surrounding en-

vironment.

One of the primary environmental problem in the US

stems from air pollution issues. Our air quality is chal-

lenged as a result of our dependency on oil, a lack of

infrastructure for quality public transportation and plac-

es where Americans work that is far from where peo-

ple live. Plus: we continue to be very wasteful when

it comes to the use of our resources. Our landfills are

filled will so many things tha t could have been recycled,refurbished or reused. Our politics are angled such that

its going to take a major shift to decrease our depend-

ency on fossil fuels. Yet, there are small positive chang-

es! I have been pleasantly surprised at what my kids

have learned in elementary school regarding environ-

mental education. This is a good start for planting the

seeds of right attitude towards our environment.

At the company, we also work on little things like office

window tinting and improved ceiling insulation for more

efficient heating and cooling; recycling waste, improving

order/logistic planning to maximize efficient shipment

of goods and when applicable we reuse carton boxes

that we receive for our shipments to our dealers. Also,

we have a local repair shop fix damaged backpacks so

they can continue to be used. We are further support-

ing agencies and non-profit organizations that work on

behalf of the National Parks and Wilderness Areas. On

a personal level, we do volunteering work, which is al-

ways a fantastic experience and great fun. We are, for

example, part of the volunteer-driven Boulder Moun-

tainbike Alliance which has the mission to improve

the trail experience for

every rider in Boulder

County. Together we

built new trails, assist

and educate bikers

and enjoy the beauti-

ful rides! (For more

Most important: the right backpack materials. Not just so thatyour Deuter will really get through the thick and thin with it's

high quality fabrics, but also, so the creative combination of the

right fabrics on the pack will optimise performance and reduce

weight. Deuter uses only selected backpack fabrics that are rip-and abrasion-proof, colourfast, UV-resistant, quick drying, water

resistant, long lasting and lightweight. The two important syn-

thetic materials are nylon (polyamide) and polyester. High densi-

ty polyamide fabric is extremely abrasion resistant in a thin layer

and is more robust than polyester. It is popular due to its high

performance in a light weight layer. Polyester doesn't absorb

water, and doesnt bleach when exposed to UV rays. Most im-

portantly, the rugged polyester fabric has a typical soft touch yet

is not heavy because polyester fibres are lighter. The fabrics are

specified by their thread thickness in denier (den), which is thethread weight specified over a thread length of 9,000 metres.

This means that a 9,000 metre long 600 den thread, for exam-ple, would weigh 600 grams. To provide high water resistance,

Deuter fabrics are coated exclusively with polyurethane (PU)

which is abrasion-proof, cold-resistant and flexible.

YKK zippers: currently the best available on the market, these

top quality zippers are very robust and reliable.

Multi-chamber aluminium stays: Made from top quality AL

2024 T6 aluminium, these load bearing elements in our back-

packs are both lightweight and strong. The flat aluminium tube

is divided into s eparate chambers by several inner walls. The ef-

fect in cross-section is that of a honeycomb. This strengthens

the tube and prevents the stays from breaking. These multi-

chamber aluminium stays are used in various widths dependingon the backpack model.

Durable spring steel frame: Spring steel is extraordinarilystable and elastic. It is very durable since it springs back into

its original form when twisted or turned. In a lightweight round

profile construction it allows a very flexible frame build. In a flat

profile, it constructs a frame with an extremely high form stabil-ity. We use both for our Aircomfort models t o give our patented

ventilation mesh panel its stable tension.

3D-Air-Mesh:

A 3 mm thick and therefore three di-

mensional polyester mesh. The opti-

mum air permeability and padding ef-

fect turns it to the ideal lining fabric forback padding, shoulder straps and hip belts. It offers maxi-

mum durability and comfort.

Wide Air-Mesh:

Larger holed skin contact fabric with

excellent breathability and lighter

weight. This polyester fabric combines

durability with comfort.

Deuter-Ripstop-Polytex:

Super Polytex with woven in stronger

threads. PU coated.

Deuter-Super-Polytex:

Made from 600 den Polyester thread

and with a thick PU coating, this mul-

ti-purpose fabric is robust and light-

weight. It is most suitable for back-packs, used in average conditions to keep the weight to a

minimum.

minimal weight and lend it that striking honeycomb struc-ture. PU coating inside.

Neoprene:

Neoprene is a elastomer foam usually

laminated on both sides to Nylon or

Lycra to protect the surface and incre-

ase durability. We use Neoprene for

hip belts that need to be flat, extremely flexible and ro-bust. The protective features make it the ideal material for

our Neon Belt and the Camera Cases. And we use its insu-

lation qualities for our Tube Insulator.

Deuter Microrip Lite:

This very fine Nylon fabric is extremelylightweight. The PU coating and tight

weave enable it to achieve a high

waterproof specification. Similar to our

other lightweight textiles, the stronger ripstop threads re-

inforce the lighter main fabric in order to increase its resis-

tance to tearing. Used for our Bike Bags and Accessories.

High-Loft Hollowfiber:

Synthetic hollow fibres are processed to a filling fleece (by

thermal bonding). To ensure good compression and highloft,siliconeisadded.Remarkableinsulationrating,tear

resistant and durable.

Deuter Thermo ProLoft:

A special thermal process turns polyester fibres into top

quality technical Thermo ProLoft insulating fleece. The

combination of dense and hollow fibres results in the pre-fect blend between durability, weight and warmth proper-

ties a fleece material that is easy care and durable yet

compact and of fers excellent insulation at minimal weight.

The synthetic fibres also absorb very little moisture. Short

drying times, excellent loft and thus insulation properties

even when damp, are all advantageous characteristics.Deuter Thermo ProLoft is also coated with a thin layer of

silicone and anti-allergens to give it good lofting proper-

ties.

DownComposition 90/10:The deciding factor in a down sleeping bag is the down

quality. Primarily this is a matter of the weight ratio of

down to small feather mixture, which is expressed in per-

cent. Deuter uses only the high performance f illing ratio of

90% down to 10% small feather.

Fill power / cuin:

High quality sleeping bags should have a fill power of at

least 650 cuin. This measurement in cubic inches per ounce

of down shows the quality of the loft and expansion power

of the filling. High quality down has a loft volume of 650

cu in (10.6 litres) per 1 ounce (28.3g). A loft of 550 cu in,

and higher is good; of 650 - excellent; and 800 is almost

impossible. In the end: the higher the volume the better

the insulation value.
