Millet · Parmelan 35L
A night in a hut, and the bag follows without weighing you down.
On the Parmelan 35, what you use while walking stays on the shoulder straps and the hip belt: the phone or the flask on the front, a bar at the hip. The roll-top cinches in as the bag empties, a front zip saves you emptying everything to reach the fleece, and a lightweight frame carries the load. A hiking backpack for the day or the night.

What fits inside
35L
A roll-top that follows the load, a front zip for the fleece.
The roll-top rolls and cinches to suit what you carry: high for the night, low for the day. The front zip opens the bag from the front, so the fleece at the bottom comes out without undoing everything.
- a rain jacket
- a fleece
- a night's change of clothes
- lunch and water
The back system
47 cm
Back length, size M, the only one we sell.
A lightweight frame, a removable hip belt, the load pulled in to your back.
The ergonomic, adjustable hip belt is removable: keep it on with a night's load, take it off for a light outing.
The load-lifter straps and the bottom straps pull the bag in against your back.
The 3D mesh panels ventilate your back, the ergonomic shoulder straps follow your chest and the sternum strap adjusts.

The details
The phone on your shoulder, the poles and the hydration reservoir neatly stowed.

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 Parmelan that stays the night: 35 litres at 980 grams, a lightweight frame, and everything you use while walking stowed on the shoulder straps and the hip belt.
- Worth knowing
- It has no built-in cover and no stated treatment, and its 980 g are noticeable on a short outing: for the day, the Parmelan 25 weighs 880 g.
- Who it's for
- People who spend a night in a mountain hut and want to carry a light bag there.
Baptiste, Eiken
