Inspired by trail vests, the Touring LTK 18 is designed for modern ski touring and mountaineering. As a bonus, it can be converted into a summer-time trail pack whereby the ski carry is used to carry poles. Millet clearly thought everything through on this pack. The LTK 18 has a clean-cut performance shape and flawless zippers with easy-grip cords. You can stow a good amount of items in front with a mesh flask holder and a zippered waist pocket. A crampon pouch and ice-axe holder are there when you’re ready to head up the steeps. The ultra-ventilated back and adjustable straps keep things comfortable. There is also a unique external bladder pouch so you don’t take up any of the 18 liters internally. The Millet Touring LTK 18 is a light-yet-comprehensive backpack for getting up and down mountains.
- Diagonal ski-carry system can be operated without taking the pack off.

- Zippered waist-belt pocket holds energy, cameras, scrapers & straps.
