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.

The details
A bottle on the side, poles on the front, a pocket under the lid.

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
