Shells Layers & Technology

 

This new protection concept moves away from the orthodoxy of over-protective garments that are often unsuitable because too heavy and bulky, and instead offers more precise clothing worn according to the activity and weather conditions, as users’ continually seek to fully adapt to the natural environment.

Head for the mountains well-equipped!

Compared to the traditional Protection + Insulation + Moisture Transfer approach, Millet provides an innovative response with its multi-layer system. By combining our range, you get the right solution – whatever the conditions, whatever the terrain.

 

              

 

 

TRANSFERT LAYER                                                                         

The wicking-away of perspiration is a crucial issue during mountain activities. When expending effort, the body sweats and releases moisture. If not removed effectively, this is absorbed by your clothes and when the effort stops you will get cold very fast.

To stay warm in the mountains, you need to stay dry. This is why we have developed a full range of breathable underwear that guarantees optimal wicking-away of moisture.

 

 

 

THERMAL LAYER                                                                                        

The cold is obviously a key target to fight during mountain activities. But protecting yourself from the cold is not enough: you must still be able to retain the heat given off by the body. Thermal Layer does this: besides acting as a barrier against the cold, it also keeps body heat in. As a result, you will stay warm even in very low temperatures.

 

ACTION SHELL                                                                                            

Versatility comes first! This water-repellent, breathable and windproof layer marks a radical advance on the conventional three-layer system. It combines the properties of each layer in a single product.

 

PROTECTIVE SHELL                                                                                    

The climate you operate in during mountain activities is often adverse: rain, wind, snow, cold, etc. These external factors may affect your performance if you don’t have adequate protection. The role of the Protective Shell layer is therefore to protect you from all these factors courtesy of a high degree of proofing. This multi-layer system features in all our ranges: Ride On, Expert, All Mountain and Roc Session.
