Millet Super Touring Softshell Jacket - Men's

This jacket is great for day to day activities. It has very lightweight fabric which is breathable. The brushed inner lining is nice against the skin with a short sleeve shirt. I own this jacket so I know first hand.

Hi,
I’m 6’1”/ 170 Ibs and I wear a (US; MD), so I’d say a (US; LG) would be fine.The shoulders should also work for you.
Please keep in mind that the jacket is designed not have many layers underneath – just a base-layer. So if you’re looking to layer more, please consider an XL.

Millet Belay Composite Jacket - Men's

November 22, 2010

The arms/ hood consist of a three layer soft shell with a brushed fleece backing. You will certainly pick-up more warmth around the core (as designed), but you’ll defiantly add warmth/ protection throughout the soft shell areas as well. It would not be suited for a stand-alone ski jacket on cold days. It would be perfect to wear skinning up a mountain on cold days and then throwing on an outer shell for the descent. It has large pit zips to help with temperature regulation. You could wear it as the outer layer on moderate ski days, while adjusting your inner layers, based on your body’s thermostat. The Belay Composite would also be ideal for hut to hut trips.

Millet Belay Composite Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 4, 2010

This is certainly my new favorite jacket! It blends insulation thru the core and soft shell on the hood/ arms/ shoulders - making it the best of both worlds. I've been wearing it for two months now and worn it in Crested Butte, in precipitation and the DWR held strong. Looked great at Camp 4 Coffee as well!

Millet Rockmax Pant - Men's

October 30, 2009

The Millet Rockmax pant is made from Cordura Dryfast which is highly abrasion resistant and structured to accelerate the transfer of moisture. It has good breathability during high-output endeavors. It is a great fall pant but you may need more once winter hits. If you’re looking to compare it to other manufactures, I'd compare the fabrics. Size Large does sound about right.

Millet Everest GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's

October 30, 2009

As for sizing on the Millet Everest Boots, for foot sizes smaller than a US 9.5, we recommend that you purchase boots 1 size larger than your normal shoe size due to swelling of the foot at high altitudes. So, if you wear a size 9 US, we would actually recommend that you purchase a 10 US in the Millet Everest Boots. For foot sizes of US 9.5 and larger, we recommend that you purchase boots 1.5 sizes larger than your normal shoe size (i.e. if you wear a US 10, you would purchase a US 11.5).

Millet Radikal Speed Shoe - Men's

October 1, 2009

It means that you can re-route the BOA cable in two places over the foot; allowing for "foot top retention for descents and toe tightening for climbing". Basically there are two spots in the lacing system where you can "cross over" the cable bringing more tension to the foot. Please contact Millet at 303-527-1460 for further explanation.

Millet Aerial Max Jacket - Women's

Fitted and true to size means that the jacket is designed for performance; with full stretch and articulated/ preformed elbows. The tailored fit helps maximize the effectiveness of the fabric. It will certainly accommodate an insulating mid-layer but maybe not a large puffy or heavy-weight fleece.

These boots are certainly designed for technical mountaineering at high altitudes. The only concern with altitudes over 6000m is the extreme cold; the Radikal Pro is isothermal from -4° F to -13° F. If you are trekking they should work great, if pushing for a summit; check out the Millet Everest GTX Boot. (Isothermal to -75° F)

This jacket is very unique; it uses a stretch Gore –Tex Paclite Shell. (Most Paclite is not stretch) The stretch greatly improves the performance, durability, and fit of the jacket. It also uses 13mm seam tape which increases the breathability and pack ability. The jacket has an athletic fit which maximizes the performance of the fabric. Perfect for lightweight technical endeavors.

You attach the ice tool by releasing the fastech buckle on the bottom front side of the pack. Slide the pick into the sheath and secure the buckle behind the head. The elastic on the front center of the pack holds the body/ handle of the ice tool.
