The Deuter Kids' Fox 30L Backpack isn't some flimsy school pack dressed up to look like it's meant for trekking. It actually sports a suspension similar to Deuter's adult versions. The Alpine Back system includes cushy, breathable 3D AirMesh at the back, shoulders, and waist for a comfy hike, and Vari Quick Adjust lets you move the shoulder straps up and down the torso for a custom fit that can actually grow with him. The Fox also features hydration compatibility, a bottom compartment for sleeping bags, and even attachments for ice axes and trekking poles—just like mom and pop's.
