Comfort features
Carrying system
In backpack mode, the Connect Reverse
Evo is fitted with a carrying system made by
Deuter, the specialist in alpine backpacks.
The Alpine Back System ensures the highest
level of carrying comfort and ideal weight
distribution.
The flexible Vari Flex hip belt is available as
an option for the Alpine Back System, and is
included in delivery with Connect Reverse
Evo.
TIP
The Connect Reverse Evo
product video shows how to
attach the hip belt correctly
(at 7:00 mins.):
Mesh back section
The back section uses mesh fabric to
optimise seating comfort. This ensures
optimum pressure distribution for your back
and good air circulation.
Trekking pole attachment point
Fig. 4: Trekking poles in harness and in backpack
mode
The attachment point for the trekking poles
can be used in both modes. In harness
mode, we recommend that you use a cover
for the tips of the poles.
Velcro attachments on shoulder
There is Velcro on one shoulder to attach
additional small instruments such as the
acoustic Vario or SPOT.
There is an extra pocket on the right
shoulder for a security/emergency card. The
red rubber band can be used to secure a
credit card format card.
Pockets
Rear compartment
The Connect Reverse Evo has a generously
sized and aerodynamically shaped rear
section. There is an attachment point for
trekking poles next to the main compartment.
The compression and tension straps in
backpack mode can be used to attach heavy
items in the storage compartment.
⚠
WARNING
You must ensure when loading the rear
storage compartment that the air inlet
openings on the surface are not covered up.
If they are, then the back protector’s
protective action will not take effect.
Hydration system compartment
There is a compartment for a Streamer
(hydration system bladder) between the back
section and the pilot (Fig. 5). It is also ideal
for storing spare clothes etc. The hydration
system can remain in this compartment in
both the harness and the backpack mode.
The compartment has a Velcro strap to
attach the Streamer. The drinking tube is fed
through a separate opening out of the
compartment. It can be fed through special
openings on the shoulder straps in both
harness and backpack mode.
