This jacket runs true to size but isn’t super tailored. The rear length hits around mid-buttock.

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.

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).

The hood is not designed to fit over a hood. It does have a high collar for ultimate protection. The rear of the hood does have an elastic draw-cord for adjustability.

The fill power is rated at 650FP in Euro standards but would be equivalent to a 750FP in US standards. The fill weight is about 13oz.

A size 50 is equal to a (US medium)-(EU large)
So you would by a Medium on Backcountry.

The hood on the Expert is fixed; allowing for maximum thermal protection.

The weight is - 1 lb 9 oz

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.

It has a removeable one.

There is no elastic, just a removeable belt.

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)

High Altitude/Cold Weather Mountaineering Boots:Double boots are required. They should be designed for extended use intemperatures at least as cold as -40F. Modern synthetic integrated boots (those witha built in overboot/gaiter) are suitable for this climb. For traditional plastic boots,thermo-mold liners are warmer, lighter, and more comfortable than standard liners. If you have heat-moldable liners in your boots already and you have worn them forseveral trips, you may want to have them re-fit to ensure that the foam has notcompressed and the temperature rating has been retained.
Shell Materials: Synthetic, plasticLiner: Thermo-moldable or High Altitude models Examples Include: Kayland 8001, La Sportiva Olympus Mons, Lowa CivettaExtreme, Scarpa Phantom 8000 and Inverno, and Millet Everest.

They do have a slight taper a the bottom. The waist is below the belly button. Overall these pants are fitted and have a slim cut.

I'm 6'1 and still pulling the webbing in. Great pack worth trying.

The Free Flex does have a removeable frame-sheet. (see illustration)

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.
