Millet : 100 years of sharing and mountains

Created in 1921, the Millet brand started by making canvas supply bags. Few would have suspected that Millet would become a success story in mountain equipment and clothing. It is, however, on the walls and at the summits of the most iconic mountains that the brand gradually forged its name. In 1950, it was while wearing a Millet backpack that Louis Lachenal reached the summit of Annapurna, the first 8000m peak conquered by man! The years then rolled on with their share of technical revolutions in the fields of mountaineering, climbing, and high mountain hiking. Today, Millet is a reference French brand for all adventurers who love wide open spaces. Millet designs clothing, shoes, and innovative technical gear to accompany you in all weather conditions. From waterproof jackets to hiking shoes, as well as sleeping bags and mountaineering backpacks: you can trust the manufacturer of mountaineering gear and technical clothing to offer you products that meet your sporting commitments.
