Millet · Parmelan 17L

The bag you forget until the break.

The Parmelan 17 sheds everything you did not use: the hip belt comes off, so does the front compartment, and the zip opens the bag wide when it is time to eat. A bottle on the side, poles on the front, the rest in the main compartment. For outings where every gram counts.

What fits inside

17L

A full zip: the layer at the bottom comes out without emptying the bag.

The main compartment opens fully by a zip, and a zipped access on the side saves you undoing it to grab a layer. The bag takes the essentials for a short outing, not the kit for a full day.

  • a light jacket
  • a warm layer
  • a snack
  • water

The back system

44 cm

Back length.

A hip belt that comes off, 3D mesh shoulder straps.

The hip belt is removable: take it off when the bag is light.

The shoulder straps are minimalist, in 3D mesh, and the sternum strap adjusts.

A compression cord and a quick-release buckle cinch the bag in as it empties.

Millet

Millet, from Saint-Fons to Annecy.

Born near Lyon, in Annecy since 1929

In 1921, Marc and Hermance Millet sewed shopping bags and canvas sacks in a small grocery shop in Saint-Fons, near Lyon. The family settled in Annecy in 1929; in 1960 the sons turned to mountaineering backpacks.

Repairable, 2-year guarantee

Millet bags can be repaired in the Annecy workshop, which also looks after clothing, poles and sleeping bags. Millet guarantees its bags for 2 years; the 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken.

Materials chosen and tested

Millet picks its materials from those certified OEKO-TEX and bluesign, with no controversial chemicals, and tests them in its own laboratory before using them.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it
This is the lightest Parmelan: 480 grams, a zip that opens everything, and a hip belt and front compartment that come off when you do not need them.
Worth knowing
At 17 litres, it takes the essentials for a short outing: for the whole day, the Parmelan 25 carries more and weighs 880 g.
Who it's for
People who walk for a few hours, want almost nothing on their back and have no use for options.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

How does the Parmelan 17 handle rain?

Nothing stated: the bag has neither a fabric treatment nor a built-in cover. Anything that must stay dry goes in a pouch.

Parmelan 17, 25 or 35?

The 17 (480 g) when every gram counts, the 25 (880 g) for the full day, the 35 (980 g) for sleeping in a hut.

Can you fit a hydration reservoir?

Yes, the bag is compatible with a hydration reservoir.

Can you take the hip belt off?

Yes, it is removable, and so is the front compartment.

What does the guarantee cover?

The 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken. Millet also guarantees its bags for 2 years.
