Pa’lante Ultralight

Pa’lante Ultralight is the smallest and lightest backpack in the Pa’lante lineup, bringing the brand’s signature thru-hiking features into a compact 26-litre frameless pack. Designed for hikers with a dialled-in ultralight setup, it keeps weight and complexity to a minimum while maintaining excellent on-trail accessibility and functionality.

With no frame and no hipbelt, the Ultralight is made for lightweight loads and hikers who prefer freedom of movement and a simple, efficient packing system. The 18″ torso length comes in one size, while the compact dimensions also make the Ultralight a versatile option for fast-and-light trips, summit days or everyday use.

The pack is built from a combination of UltraWeave™ 100X with 210D UHMWPE Gridstop, 70D PU-coated nylon ripstop and durable 70D 3×3 UHMWPE grid mesh. This carefully selected mix keeps the backpack exceptionally light while providing durability where it matters most.

The simple top closure uses a cinch cord and G-hook, while the large front stretch-mesh pocket provides quick access to layers and other frequently used gear. A dedicated stake pocket is integrated directly into the front pocket, keeping tent stakes organised and separated from the rest of your equipment.

Generous side pockets hold up to 2.5 litres of water on each side and are shaped for easy access while hiking. Adjustable tension-lock shock cords above the pockets can secure taller items, provide additional pack compression or be used to hang wet gear to dry.

One of Pa’lante’s signature features is the UHMWPE grid mesh bottom pocket, allowing you to grab snacks or other small essentials without taking the pack off. A smaller opening on the opposite side works as a convenient trash portal, making it particularly useful during long days on trail.

The shoulder straps combine 3D mesh with two different densities of foam for a balance of comfort, support and low weight. Integrated 6.5″ shoulder strap pockets keep a soft flask, phone, compact camera, snacks or sunscreen within easy reach. The sternum strap can be adjusted vertically using a concealed daisy-chain system for a more personalised fit.

Although the Ultralight has no internal frame, a folded sleeping pad or sit pad can be placed against the back panel to add structure and cushioning. The pack also includes an ice axe loop for more technical trips.

Despite its compact 26-litre internal volume, the Ultralight can accommodate surprisingly substantial gear. A BV500 or smaller bear canister fits vertically inside the pack, while a BV425 can even be packed horizontally.
