MILLET
|
Millet Mountain is a prestigious French brand founded in 1921 in Saint-Fons (near Lyon, France) by the husband-and-wife team Marc and Hermance Millet. Initially, they did not manufacture alpine gear; instead, they produced shopping bags and canvas sacks for customers of their grocery store. The brand now specializes in the manufacture of technical apparel, backpacks, footwear, and high-altitude mountaineering equipment. Today, Millet remains a global leader in the design of technical clothing, footwear, and high-altitude gear. With over a century of history since its founding in the French Alps, the brand stands out for its focus on sustainability, technical innovation, and equipment designed for elite alpine professionals. |
Why choose MILLET apparel and backpacks
Alpine legacy and history
Founded in the French Alps in 1921, Millet has accompanied legends of world mountaineering. In 1950, it outfitted the first French expedition to conquer an 8,000-meter peak (Annapurna), and in 1978, Reinhold Messner used its backpacks and gear to climb Everest without supplemental oxygen.
Technical performance and durability
Its backpacks, Gore-Tex jackets, and footwear are designed for demanding users. They prioritize low weight without sacrificing resistance to abrasion, wind, or extreme high-altitude moisture.
Constant innovation
The brand employs state-of-the-art fabrics and advanced layering systems to ensure breathability and thermal protection in sub-zero conditions.
Commitment to sustainability
Millet Mountain Group actively works to reduce its carbon footprint and promotes the circular economy by extending the lifespan of garments and cleaning up waste on glaciers such as the Mer de Glace.
