Millet

From commuter bags with shoulder straps to high-performance backpacks: The Millet brand has become the market leader in mountaineering product design within a century. The company's rise began in 1921 with the production of canvas and fabric bags - the Millet family's success story began in a grocery store near Lyon in France. Backpacks with carrying frames, special mountain sports backpacks and a consistent focus on technical innovations make Millet a popular companion on the way to the summit.

The first nylon backpack impresses with its lightness and waterproof properties. In 1977, Millet added functional clothing to its range. Gore-Tex® membrane and technical down are the materials from which the first parkas are made. Today, in addition to backpacks and clothing, the range also includes shoes and sleeping bags. In addition to focusing on the best and highly functional materials, Millet also cooperates with well-known mountain sportsmen. Louis Lachnal, Walter Bonnatti, René Desmasion, Reinhold Messer and Christophe Profit are some of the big names that accompany the French outdoor brand. The collaboration with experienced and ambitious mountain sports enthusiasts guarantees the best products that are specially made for mountain sports and perfectly suitable for the challenge.

In 1950, it was the Frenchmen Lachenal and Herzog who conquered Annapurna in Nepal; in 1978, Reinhold Messner achieved fame when he made the first solo ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. Millet was the mountaineers' equipment supplier for these and many other outstanding events. In addition to cooperating with well-known professionals from the mountain sports scene, Millet is also involved as a sponsor of expedition events and the TSF-Millet ski mountaineering race. Design is a question of innovative ideas and functions - Millet has won several awards, including for the ULZ zipper jacket and the Everest boot. Millet has been part of the backpack market leader Département Drôme since 1995. A deep-rooted sense of responsibility for nature and the ambition to reduce our environmental impact motivate the company to develop sustainable and durable products. Product warranty, repair service and high-quality care are evidence of Millet's commitment to the environment and nature conservation.
