Pack up the Millet Prolight 45 Backpack for multi-day mountaineering trips on Rainier or weekend ski tours in the Colorado Rockies. This mid-sized pack holds your skis and ice tools in its reinforced straps, and features two rubberized gear loops for keeping your ice screws or cordelette handy. The Free Flex System allows for a wide range of motion and increased comfort when you're grunting up a sketchy pitch in a whiteout.
Bottom Line: Climb and ski away while wearing this pack.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Well made, light weight pack. Perfect for daytrips with ski gear or overnight backpacking trips. Super comfortable.
Can't decide between the Prolight 45 and Peuterey 50. I know
Can't decide between the Prolight 45 and Peuterey 50. I know the differences in weight (of which i'm not overly concerned), the Prolight 45 seems to have less features. I'm a beginning climber/mountaineer and weekend warrior looking for a pack I can grow into (experience wise). I already prefer a pack with ski capacity (as both have) as I'm an avid backcountry skier. I used my last 35 liter DaKine pack for weekend backpacking, skiing and daypacking until sun damage and constant abuse have almost turned it to a pile of ashes. I loved the pack but want something bigger to do the same with. Right now i'm looking at prices as the main difference...any suggestions? Is the Peuterey 50 worth the extra money for the crampon pocket and five extra liters? Or is the Prolight 45 a better deal?

Just remember to pronounce it "me-yay." I think you would appreciate the "Peuterey" more. It's versatility to combine with winter activities is worth considering. I sure like the way it's more self-conforming to my back & the way it packs. Slightly larger & more expensive but worth it.

i just bought this pack in US last mth and ive now returned to kazakhstan ,used it 3 times in the mountains and after heavy rain it stays dry,carries a large amount of ropes ,harnesses and carabiners and extremly comfortable on the back good adjustments avail,light as hell ,tough,the material seems to be thin but stronger than i 'd expect,for under 100 bucks this is a good buy,for 2 or 3 days climbing if u willing to lash a few things on the outside ,this is the best 1 to 3 day hiking ,climbing .trekking pack i ve seen in many years,i used a lot of cheap packs before but the millet has been designed from the ground up and its certainly one of the best medium sized packs ive come across.i will be using it for biking trips ,climbing expeditions and a little kayaking ,it fits the bill for me ,ease of adjusting the compression straps is great
Sizing information for this pack seems to be hard to come by.
Sizing information for this pack seems to be hard to come by. What size range for the torso is this pack designed for? I'd also like to know the size range for the waist. (Use units of inches, please.)

one size fits all, 16-20". Basically it's on unless you have a 21" torso length. Most people are 19 or 20.

My son is taking up hiking. He wants a millet pro45 lite backpack. Can you recommend a sleeping bag and other equipment he may need.

I'm answering this question for hiking purposes, like you asked, & not backpacking which is much more inclusive:The basics should include a pack. This one is too small for backpacking @ his experience level, good boots, clothing for layering, a hat for the sun & one for warmth, an emergency kit which includes whistle & space blanket, a first aid kit, a lightweight stove, fuel, a small pot for boiling water, soup packets & tea bags, a Platypus water carrier, sun glasses, sunscreen, high energy food sources, rain gear, gloves. Add a good tent & good sleeping bag for backpacking. DON'T SCRIMP ON QUALITY! GOOD QUALITY GEAR IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD PLUS IT MAY JUST SAVE HIS LIFE! This is an essential short list. I could go on for quite a bit longer. All his outdoor needs can be found @ backcountry.com.
