I am looking at the Deuter Guide 35+ for a climbing rucksack. I appreciate there are many opinions, options etc in the market so am fairly happy with this choice.

My question refers to the revised 2013 pack. UKC has a gear review commenting on the tweaks to the 2013 range, but I wonder if anyone has experience of old vs new Guide 35+ to comment on whether it is worth getting the new item.

I originally saw them at PyB, I have a preferred colour in the old range, and I can get it for about £20 less than the new one. Is it functionally better to go for the generic colour and extra price of the new pack?

I was going to post pics of the 2 items but they would be commercial links, I am guessing anyone who has tried both will know what they look like anyway.

Thanks

There is a slight change to the ice axe holders but that about it really (slightly different shape/size to the rubberised strap for the pick) but to be honest i really dont think it makes a blind bit of difference!

also there is no compression strap on the bottom ski loop on the side of the bag (new version).

Quite frankly thats about it.

In reply to hfisher:

Cool thanks.

There was talk about the new pack being more figure hugging and stable. I wouldn't have thought the old pack was so well reviewed if it was "unstable" though.
