Pa’lante V2 with Joey straps

Pa'lante V2 with Joey Straps – Ultralight Thru-Hiking Pack with Vest-Style Comfort

The Pa'lante V2 with Joey Straps brings together two of Pa'lante's most proven designs: the thru-hiking functionality of the legendary V2 and the exceptionally comfortable vest-style shoulder straps of the Joey. The result is a lightweight, frameless backpack designed for hikers who want fast access to their gear, excellent freedom of movement and a close, comfortable carry over long days on trail.

With 32–37 litres of internal capacity, generous side pockets and smart on-the-move storage, the V2 with Joey Straps is ideally suited to thru-hiking, fastpacking and lightweight multi-day backpacking where simplicity, accessibility and low weight matter.

Joey-Inspired Vest-Style Shoulder Straps

The signature Joey-style shoulder straps are built from two layers of soft, springy 3D mesh that conform to the shoulders and help distribute the pack load comfortably across a larger area.

Integrated UHMWPE grid mesh chest pockets keep frequently used essentials within easy reach. They are sized to carry items such as a soft water bottle, phone, camera or snacks, reducing the need to stop and take the pack off during the day.

The upper sternum strap can be repositioned using a daisy-chain adjustment system, while the lower sternum strap remains fixed for a secure and stable fit.

Designed for Access on the Move

Pa'lante's signature bottom pocket is made from durable 70D 3x3 UHMWPE grid mesh and gives you quick access to snacks, gloves or other small essentials without removing the backpack. A small trash portal on the opposite side makes it easy to store wrappers and other trail rubbish separately while hiking.

The large side pockets are designed to remain accessible while walking and can each carry up to approximately 2.5 litres of water. Tension-lock shock cords above the pockets can secure taller items, provide light pack compression or be used to hang wet gear to dry.

Integrated Stashable Hipbelt

The V2 includes a minimalist stashable webbing hipbelt for occasions when you want additional stability or some load transfer to the hips. When not required, the hipbelt can be tucked into its own dedicated garage inside the side pocket, keeping it out of the way without interfering with water bottles or other gear.

Aluminium suspension rings are integrated into the side adjustment straps for a clean, durable and lightweight connection.

Practical Trail Storage

The spacious front mesh pocket includes a dedicated stake pocket, helping keep tent stakes separated from softer gear. An ice axe loop provides additional versatility for mountain trips and shoulder-season use.

The pack can also accommodate a BV500 or smaller bear canister vertically inside. When the backpack is not completely full, a bear canister can alternatively be carried on top beneath the G-hook closure. Pa'lante recommends carrying it empty or with lightweight items such as rubbish in this position for better balance.

Simple, Adaptable Closure

The main compartment uses Pa'lante's versatile snap button, buckle, roll-top and G-hook closure system, allowing the top of the pack to adapt easily to different load volumes. The G-hook is combined with a practical haul loop for easy handling.

As with other frameless Pa'lante packs, your folded sleeping pad or sit pad can be placed against the back panel to add structure and cushioning while keeping the overall design light and simple.

Durable UHMWPE Construction

The main body is made from proven 210D UHMWPE Gridstop, providing an excellent balance between low weight, durability and abrasion resistance for demanding long-distance hiking.

The stretch pockets use Pa'lante's lightweight 70D 3x3 UHMWPE grid mesh, combining useful stretch with high durability in areas that see frequent use on trail.

Three Fit Options

The V2 with Joey Straps is available in three sizes: 17", 19" and 19" with long straps. As a general guide, Pa'lante considers the 17" a small/medium fit, the 19" a medium/large fit, and the 19" with long straps an extra-large fit.

The long shoulder straps are approximately 2" (5 cm) longer above the integrated strap pockets, providing additional room for taller or larger hikers while retaining the same V2 pack body.

Joey comfort meets V2 functionality – built for long days, long trails and efficient ultralight travel.
