On a light summit day you can strip it to save weight and keep a buckle from sitting under your climbing harness; with the load held high and close to your back, 22 litres rides fine on the shoulders alone. Keep it on when you're carrying more or want extra stability on a long approach. A \u003cstrong\u003ehydration sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e sits inside either way, so you still drink without stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput class=\"questions\" name=\"q\" id=\"faq-prolighter22-en-7\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003clabel class=\"question\" for=\"faq-prolighter22-en-7\"\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I clean and maintain it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" class=\"answers\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\" align=\"justify\"\u003eA light alpine pack picks up rock dust, sun cream and sweat more than mud - wipe it down and let it dry fully before storing. Hand wash at no more than 40 °C with a mild soap if it needs more, and never tumble dry, bleach, iron or dry clean it, as that strips the DWR. Re-proof the finish occasionally, and because the Prolighter is built to be kept rather than swapped out, Millet \u003cstrong\u003erepairs worn straps or seams in its own workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e instead of sending you for a new pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Millet","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":58291630932313,"sku":"MIS2274_N0247_U","price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Icon Blue","offer_id":58291630965081,"sku":"MIS2274_N3170_U","price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Saphir","offer_id":58291630997849,"sku":"MIS2274_N7317_U","price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0134\/7738\/0153\/files\/millet-prolighter-22-black-mountaineering-backpack.jpg?v=1781526885","url":"https:\/\/eikenshop.com\/products\/millet-prolighter-22l","provider":"Eiken Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
