Proposing Layering for Ultimate Dry Performance
2015 Spring/Summer Women's Collection for "Yamagirl" Coordination
MILLET is a French alpine brand that serves as the official partner of the Chamonix Guides Company, located in the heart of the European Alps. Its products are continuously evolving, born from the advice of mountain guides operating in some of the world's most challenging mountain ranges, who conduct rigorous field tests. Since the Autumn/Winter 2013 season, the women's line has produced lookbooks twice a year, proposing coordinated outfits for various situations.

This Spring/Summer: Pursuing Ultimate Dry Performance
This season, MILLET's development theme for both men's and women's lines is the "pursuit of ultimate dry performance." The brand has focused on "dry" throughout its product development, from protective shells to base layers and underwear.
Particularly noteworthy is the top model of protective shells, the "Cervin GORE-TEX Pro Jacket," boasting astonishing breathability. The yellow jacket worn by the model is tailored for alpine climbing, designed for extended activity while worn. It features GORE-TEX® Pro 3-layer fabric, pursuing advanced breathability, and incorporates large waterproof zip vents for comfort during activity.
The vibrant red jacket is the "Chamonix Shield Jacket," an alpine-fit action shell made with "Element Shield," a completely windproof material. It offers versatile use depending on the season and destination, such as for hiking in mid-low mountains like Okutama and Tanzawa in early spring, or for trekking to find delicate alpine flowers in summer, or for traversing 3000m peaks.
Latest Items Perfect for Women Starting Their Mountain Journey
For strenuous mountain excursions, the gear you carry also requires careful consideration. The "W7 50000 Jacket & Pants," a strikingly fresh red and blue coordinated set of ultra-lightweight shell and pants, is ideal for such occasions. The jacket can be compactly stored within its attached hood, and the pants feature side opening zips for easy on-and-off, even while wearing boots.
The "Bionnassay EG Stretch Jacket" in a sherbet color is equipped with Flexi-Skin Plus™, a 4-way stretch material that expands in all directions. It offers excellent breathability and durable water repellency, and its lighter weight compared to other jackets makes it a classic MILLET piece, versatile for everything from low-mountain hiking to trekking in 2000m-class mountains.
A Women's Model Debuts for Our Classic Backpack!
Furthermore, a new women's model has debuted for MILLET's classic backpack, the "Sathus Fee." Not only has the entire pack been resized to fit the length of a woman's back, but the shoulder harnesses are designed to avoid interfering with the chest, ensuring a comfortable fit for women. This spacious backpack is a reliable companion for day trips.
MILLET pursues comfort and safety with world-class, top-tier materials—rarely adopted by more than a handful of alpine brands—and the latest technology. The brand fully supports the adventurous journeys of women who aspire to conquer mountains.
