Back length48 cm

CarryFPP ice axe

Millet · Prolighter 22L

Helmet on, harness tight, 630 grams on your back.

The Prolighter 22 is a day backpack for the mountains: it closes with a zip, takes a hydration reservoir, carries an ice axe in its FPP ice axe holder and skis on the side. A zipped pocket on the front, a mesh pocket on the side, and that is all: the bag saves its grams for the climb.

What fits inside

22L

A day on the route fits inside: layers, water, snacks.

The zip opens the main compartment, the front pocket keeps the small kit within reach without emptying everything, and the hydration reservoir has its own compartment. The bag takes a day, not a bivouac.

  • a jacket
  • a warm layer
  • water, in the reservoir or a bottle
  • a snack and the keys on the key clip

The back system

48 cm

Back length.

A 48 cm back, a hip belt you can take off.

The hip belt is removable: take it off for a light climb, keep it on when the bag is heavy.

The sternum strap is adjustable, and the bag closes with a zip: nothing to roll down.

Millet

Millet, from Saint-Fons to Annecy.

Born near Lyon, in Annecy since 1929

In 1921, Marc and Hermance Millet sewed shopping bags and canvas sacks in a small grocery shop in Saint-Fons, near Lyon. The family settled in Annecy in 1929; in 1960 the sons turned to mountaineering backpacks.

Repairable, 2-year guarantee

Millet bags can be repaired in the Annecy workshop, which also looks after clothing, poles and sleeping bags. Millet guarantees its bags for 2 years; the 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken.

Materials chosen and tested

Millet picks its materials from those certified OEKO-TEX and bluesign, with no controversial chemicals, and tests them in its own laboratory before using them.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it
This is a climbing bag with nothing extra: 630 grams, an ice axe and skis outside, a reservoir inside.
Worth knowing
At 22 L, it holds the day, not two days: the Prolighter 30+10 takes up to 10 litres more.
Who it's for
People who climb, hike or go ski touring for the day and prefer a bag with no frills.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

How does the Prolighter 22 handle rain?

The bag has no stated fabric treatment and no built-in cover. In rain that lasts, anything that must stay dry goes in a pouch.

Mixt 15, Prolighter 22 or Mixt 25+5?

The Mixt 15 (430 g) for a fast climb, the Prolighter 22 (630 g) for the day with an ice axe and skis, the Mixt 25+5 (610 g) if you add rope and helmet on the outside.

What can you attach on the outside?

An ice axe in the FPP ice axe holder and skis on the side ski carry. The bag also has a gear loop.

Can you take the hip belt off?

Yes, it is removable. The sternum strap stays adjustable.

What does the guarantee cover?

The 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken. Millet also guarantees its bags for 2 years.
