I've always had problems because I took lower quality products for the mountains. Now I'd like to buy something quality that carries well.

Otherwise, I swear by the Mammut Extrem 45 liters. It's already the second; the first lasted around 10 years in such conditions and on such tours that there's no need to talk

All the backpacks you've looked at are more technical and mainly intended for alpinism and winter tours, where it's not advisable to have anything dangling from them. In my opinion, these backpacks aren't exactly the best for hiking. For hiking it's good if the backpack has some extra pockets. I have several backpacks, including the Millet one that you've looked at too. I mainly use that one in winter when I'm equipped with crampons, ice axe. For summer hiking I don't like it too much, as it's too heavy for me and lacks side pockets, which are very handy for me for various small items that you can then find easier and don't have to rummage through the whole backpack.

Hello!
I'm looking for a new backpack suitable for alpinism and climbing, tours/trips will be long max 3 days so the backpack must be accordingly sized to fit enough gear. Currently I've eyed these 3 backpacks:
-Penguin Boulder 38
-Penguin Attack 45
-Deuter Guide 35+
Does anyone have experience with these backpacks, can recommend any?
Thanks and best regards!

Deuter Guide is a recognized, good model, you can't go wrong. It's a bit more expensive than both Czech ones but it's made of polyamide not polyester.
And also, Deuter backpacks are known as extremely comfortable, which comes in handy if you're carrying it for three days.
Best to try them all and weigh the price/quality ratio.

Whoever uses Deuter is satisfied. No one has criticized it yet and you won't either. They sell a lot of the Fatura 38 model, which has a mesh back and breathes better.

Guide 35+ will be too small for multi-day trips, I have Guide 45+ and it's ok, been dragging it for three years already... extremely comfortable, robust and has everything you need to attach gear ... 2x ice axe, 2 gear loops, ski loops, side access to interior, lid pocket, separate bottom compartment (handy for stuff you use often) and most importantly, no straps dangling all over the place ... recommend ....

I have Guide 35+ and it's ideal for day trips with gear. True it has expansion in the top part and is basically 35+8L, but still I think it'll be too small for three days, unless you pack really minimally. It's an excellent backpack though and I'm very satisfied. Futura is a completely different class of use (hiking) and not comparable to Guide model. Regarding size, safest is to take everything to the store and try...

Check out Lowe Alpine model Alpine Attack too.

For me their 32 GL is enough for three-day trips. You hang bigger items like sleeping bag outside, and it's fine. For more than three days it's really too small though.

Thanks for all replies, I had a feeling Deuter 35 would be too small, I think I'll take Attack 45 because Deuter Guide 45+ is too expensive.
Thanks everyone!

Yeah, look, I'm not trying to persuade you, but I see regular price at Kibuba is 150 Eur, so with discounts could drop 20% to 120 EUR, and even 150 for such backpack isn't much, better spend a bit more and have indestructible backpack for next 10 years, than it falls apart in a couple years, that's just my opinion, don't know about those Penguins but someone above wasn't too positive about them, and for Deuter I haven't talked to anyone not satisfied with it, believe me, here in HR among guides it's very popular ... in my opinion, think again ... lp

There you can't even get quality fuel. Backpack is relatively "good" when unloaded. When fully loaded it shows its stance and especially even weight distribution to shoulders and hips, where a good backpack without chafing easily carries long and comfortably. Huge differences also in materials, seams, useful finishes. Good larger backpacks from Lowe Alpine and many others. For a good backpack don't go to Lidl, Hofer or gas stations, but to specialized mountaineering shops.

You mean this one?

This isn't a serious mountaineering backpack. Fine for day hikes, but definitely not comfortable. One of the first issues you'll hit is no place to stow poles. And if your hike includes tougher sections, that becomes awkward. The back panel is padded, sure, but not specially reinforced. Means when loaded it'll turn into a ball and be even less comfortable.
In short: backpack conditionally usable, for serious high mountain tours I wouldn't have it. Anyway - if you don't mind 20 euros, take it. If it fits ok, great, if not, you don't risk much.
Oh, that about crap fuel at Petrol is more or less a myth.
