Experience is the key to progress in the world of the high mountains, a world which can only be understood through humbleness and patience. Some climbs must stop just a few metres from the summit, others must be put off until tomorrow. At some time in his or her life, every mountaineer has had to make the often-painful decision to abandon the idea of going any further. But with the joy of establishing a route or of reaching the summit, with those timeless moments shared among friends and roped-party companions, the hard moments of forced retreat are forgotten.
This is exactly what we feel at MILLET when we are developing our equipment. Our experience of more than 50 years in the development of products for the mountain has led us to become extremely rigorous: each raw material is chosen with great care, each function is studied, each prototype is tested in real conditions. Whether it is a pack, a pair of boots, a rope or protective clothing, it will only be put into production if it is perfectly adapted to its planned use. If we find just one weak point in quality or functionality, we go back to the drawing board. It is from you and your experience of the mountains that we have acquired this rigorous approach, for you know that every detail counts.
This sharing of experience, this intangible bond between mountaineers and MILLET products, which started more than 50 years ago with the creation by the Millet Brothers of revolutionary rucksacks, is still alive today:
We have always remained in the heart of the action, at the centre of these adventures where joy and disappointment are mingled, where success is often connected with the latest technological innovations and the best equipment. We have always remained attuned to that which helps us to progress: Your Experience.
