Millet · Parmelan 25L
Drink, snack and grab your phone without taking the pack off.
On the Parmelan 25, what you reach for most stays on the shoulder straps and the hip belt: a soft flask or the phone on the front, a bar at the hip. The rest, the jacket and lunch, goes in the main compartment, which the roll-top closes and the front zip opens without emptying everything. A hiking backpack for the day, 880 grams.

What fits inside
25L
The jacket, the fleece and the lunch fit without being squashed.
The double-slider front zip opens the main compartment without undoing the roll-top: the fleece or the jacket comes out in one move, as in the photo. The bag takes a day in the mountains, not the kit for a night.
- a rain jacket
- a warm layer
- lunch and water
- a first-aid kit
The back system
47 cm
Back length, size M, the only one we sell.
A hip belt you can take off, straps that pull the load in.
The ergonomic, adjustable hip belt is removable: keep it on once the bag is heavy, take it off when it is light.
The load-lifter straps, the hip belt straps and the bottom straps pull the bag in against your back.
The shoulder straps are minimalist and the sternum strap adjusts.

The details
A pocket on the shoulder, one on the hip belt, a hose and poles.




Worn
On the back, from the front, in profile and on the move.

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 full-day bag at 880 grams: everything you use while walking stays within reach without undoing it, and the hip belt comes off when the load drops.
- Worth knowing
- It has no built-in cover and no stated treatment, and its 25 litres will not take a night's kit: for sleeping in a hut, the Parmelan 35 weighs 980 g.
- Who it's for
- People who walk a whole day and want a light bag, without weighing it down with pointless pockets.
Baptiste, Eiken

Questions
How does the Parmelan 25 handle rain?
The bag has no stated fabric treatment and no built-in cover. In rain that lasts, 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 has a compartment for the reservoir, and the hose comes out at the back to run over the shoulder strap.
Can you take the hip belt off?
Yes, it is removable: take it off when the bag is light, put it back on as soon as it gets heavy.
What does the guarantee cover?
The 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken. Millet also guarantees its bags for 2 years.
