Pieces in Trilogy typically combine advanced fabrics, articulated patterning, and features like reinforced zones and targeted insulation to perform in high-altitude, rapidly changing conditions.
• How does Millet use technologies like GORE-TEX and other membranes in its jackets and pants?

  Millet integrates membranes such as GORE-TEX in select waterproof jackets and pants to provide a balance of breathability and reliable weather protection, often paired with DWR-treated outer fabrics for bead-off performance. These garments are designed with venting, ergonomic patterning, and reinforced high-wear areas to maintain comfort and durability during aerobic mountain activities.

  Millet uses high-performance fibers and abrasion-resistant fabrics, reinforced panels in high-wear zones, and strategic seaming and lamination to extend product life while keeping weight low. Insulation options include responsibly sourced down and technical synthetics depending on the model, and many garments are engineered for quick drying and efficient moisture management.
• How does Millet approach sustainability and environmental responsibility?

  Millet emphasizes environmental respect through durable design that reduces turnover and by incorporating more eco-conscious materials and lower-impact finishing treatments across many product lines. The brand focuses on extending garment lifespan and reducing footprint through material choices, construction quality, and ongoing efforts to improve production practices.
