Parmelan 17L – Ultralight Backpack for Fast Hiking & Technical Alpine Missions
The Parmelan 17L is the most compact and lightweight model in the range. A true minimalist hiking backpack built for those who move fast and carry light — no excess, no compromise. When every gram matters, when the terrain gets technical, when the objective is clear: maximum efficiency, minimum weight.
Weighing just 480 g, this 17L technical pack blends alpine durability with smart design. Made from ROBIC® 100/200D ripstop reinforced with polyethylene fibers, it offers excellent abrasion resistance while remaining flexible and highly compressible. Its durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment effectively shields against light moisture during early starts or unexpected weather shifts.
Fast hiking, speed trekking, technical approaches, lightweight alpine outings — the Parmelan 17L is a compact mountain-ready pack built for fluid movement and pure performance.
What Makes It Stand Out on the Mountain
- ⚖️ Ultralight (480 g): ideal for weight-focused missions and fast movement.
- 🧵 Reinforced ROBIC® fabric: high abrasion resistance for rocky and technical terrain.
- 🎒 Full opening + side zip access: quick organization and direct gear access.
- 🪢 Smart compression system: hook strap + drawcord collar to adjust volume precisely.
- ⛰️ Complete alpine attachment system: trekking pole holders, Quick Axe™ ice axe carry, external loops and metal buckles.
- 💧 Hydration compatible: designed to keep you moving without stopping.
The minimalist 3D mesh shoulder straps provide breathability and dynamic comfort. The removable webbing hip belt allows you to fine-tune stability depending on intensity — lighter for active hiking, more secure for technical terrain. Removable elements enhance versatility without adding unnecessary weight.
Looking for a compact pack for a fast mountain mission? Light enough to forget it’s there, yet durable enough for demanding terrain? The Parmelan checks every box.

FAQ – Parmelan 17L
Yes — if you pack light and efficiently. The 17L capacity is ideal for fast hiking or lightweight alpine missions: a windproof jacket, light insulation layer, 1–2L of water, nutrition, small first-aid kit, gloves, buff, headlamp and essentials. If you prefer maximum comfort with bulky layers and heavy gear, a larger pack may be more suitable.
Think minimalist packing: hydration bladder or soft flasks (1–2L), lightweight waterproof shell, thin fleece, snacks or compact lunch, sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, beanie and small accessories. The mesh side pockets and zippered top pocket help keep frequently used items accessible without unpacking everything.
Yes — stability is part of its DNA. The adjustable sternum strap, removable hip belt and compression system secure the load close to your body. The result: less bounce, more control, and smoother movement on rocky trails and alpine routes.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment protects against light rain, splashes and morning moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof like a dry bag. For heavy or prolonged rain, we recommend using a rain cover or internal waterproof pouches for sensitive gear.
Yes. The Parmelan 17L features dedicated trekking pole holders and a Quick Axe™ ice axe carry system, plus external loops and metal buckles to adapt your setup depending on your objective. It’s designed for technical approaches and lightweight mountaineering.
Yes — within its intended use range (light to moderate loads). The breathable 3D mesh shoulder straps provide comfort during fast-paced outings. For heavier loads over long durations, a more structured pack may be more appropriate.
