MILLET Prolighter 22 Backpack

Prolighter 22L Backpack keeps essentials close for alpine pushes and summit missions

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve taken the Prolighter 22L on fast-paced summer ridge scrambles and early season ski tours. It’s minimalist, but super functional—I can stash my axe, carry skis, and still access a snack without digging around. Light, durable, and purpose-built."

Built for high-output objectives, the Millet Prolighter 22L Backpack is our go-to pack for summer ascents, fast-and-light missions, and one-day alpine routes. With a weight just over 600 grams, it carries just what we need—no more, no less—keeping our load streamlined when speed matters.

Despite its low weight, the Prolighter doesn’t compromise on functionality. A side ski carry system, FPP™ ice axe holder, and hydration compatibility make it ideal for mixed mountain pursuits. Compression straps stabilize gear, while the zip-accessed compartments and exterior mesh pocket keep essentials at hand. Designed with durable water-repellent fabrics and recycled materials, this pack delivers long-haul reliability in a clean, efficient form.
