Millet Belay Composite Jacket - Men's

Be the first to upload your photo of the Belay Composite Jacket - Men's. >
Don't let the name mislead you: the Millet Belay Composite Jacket won't leave you grounded and hauling your expedition buddies up the face. Sure, a healthy dose of Primaloft insulation will keep you toasty when you do pull belay duty, but a lightweight and weather-resistant design performs just as well when it's your turn to take a crack at the crux pitch.
- Underarm zip vents allow regulation of body temperature
- Articulated elbows give a full and natural range of motion to the wearer
- Included compression bag makes for easy storage
- Multiple pockets, internal and external, store your necessities
- Readily adjustable hood keeps your head warm so you keep your head on the ascent
Bottom Line: Do a lot more than belay with the Belay jacket.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Good jacket with lame zipper

I always wanted a Millet jacket to add to my collection but they are somewhat expensive. I decided to take a chance on the Belay Composite and in general I like it. It's as described a sofshell upper married with a primaloft lower. The softshell is par for the course in this price range - light fleece on the inside, water resistant (but not waterproof) and stretchy. The primaloft insulation is minimal fill; this is not a jacket to wear standalone on very cold days.
The fit is very nice though. I am 5-9", 170lbs, 33 waist and a Medium fits on the money as a standalone jacket. I could squeeze in a light fleece if I wanted a snug fit. Here is what annoys me though - the zipper. It's European and reversed - you slide the zipper in on the right side. Just plain awkward for us used to the other way.
I like it, but it's more of a nice to have jacket than a need to have.

agree, European zippers are lame.
Can anyone compare this to the Patagonia Rubicon Rider Jacket?

The Millet Composite has primaloft in the body, meaning that the core of the jacket is warmer than the rubicon, but it simply has stretch woven sleeves, with no insulation. In turn, the Rubicon Rider is completely filled with a not-so-great quality recycled insulation, and has waterproof wear panels on the shoulders and hips. Both are designed for different purposes. Really depends on what you need it for.

This jacket does it all !!!!!!
Once again Millet fit is amazing on this piece.
I use this jacket for pretty much everything: from very cool days to hard climbs. The insulation keeps me very warm and the soft shell on the shoulders and arms keeps me totally dry. The side vents zip help to regulate core temp. I feel that this jacket was design For any type of adventure in the mountains.
I have the 2010 version, can it be dry cleaned?

Gary,
yes. You can also wash it in a front loading washer with a liquid detergent. Dry it on low to no heat setting with a tennis ball just like you would a sleeping bag.
