December 4, 2025

BOULDER, CO – December 4, 2025 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – German backpack pioneer deuter has partnered with U.S. Biathlon to equip the entire U.S. Biathlon team and staff with deuter travel bags, backpacks and accessories. Starting this season, which includes the biathlon World Cup and IBU Cup, this exciting partnership is further proof of deuter’s status as a trusted partner for performance athletes at the peak of their careers.

“Our partnership with the U.S. Biathlon team is a testament that we continue to drive innovation in the pack category and are committed to growing our presence in the U.S.,” said Amy Parulis, Marketing and Communications Manager for deuter. “We are thrilled to be working with the U.S. Biathlon athletes, coaches, and staff this coming season.”

The sport of biathlon combines the elite athletic performance of cross-country skiing, with the precision and focus required for rifle shooting. The U.S. Biathlon team, including athletes, physios, coaches, ski technicians, managers and trustees, have been equipped with deuter duffel bags, backpacks, and accessories to assist with summer training, travel, and logistics as they navigate the season. With a focus on sustainability, reliability and customer-centric innovation, deuter is known and respected around the world as a premier backpack and luggage brand.

On November 9, 2025, an official ‘Outfitting Event’ took place where U.S. Biathlon athletes and staff were presented with deuter products, including custom printed Duffel Pro bags. As with all deuter products, these bags and packs are made without the use of harmful PFAS chemicals and are also Climate Partner certified. A responsible approach to social and environmental manufacturing practices underpins deuter’s ethos throughout the supply chain. Confirmed athletes competing in the biathlon World Cup later this month in Norway include Campbell Wright, Maxime Germain and Chloe Levins. U.S. Biathlon athletes will also compete in the international winter sports competition in 2026 in Milano Cortina.
