Anna Arnert, Global Sports Marketing Manager Alpine comments: “The roots of deuter are in mountain sports. For many years, we have been working with athletes and experts to develop technical backpacks for mountain sports enthusiasts. It was therefore clear that we could also engineer innovative running backpacks, vests and belts for trail runners. With the new Traick, the range is now so sophisticated that we can also meet the needs of professional trail runners. To prove this and to give our products the credibility and awareness in a competitive market, it is necessary to have a credible partner at our side. With MSWS, we have an international partnership at eye level and access to professionals and experts from the trail running scene. This helps us to further develop our products in the future and to engage with trail runners from all over the world”.
deuter will provide the team with products including their new Traick Trail Running Vest that outshines many of its competitors with its sophisticated design and resource-efficient production. More information about the product can be found below.
