For two days out, the bivouac straps on the outside.
The Ubic 40 opens like a suitcase from the bottom: you reach the base without emptying the bag. Outside, its removable straps hold the skis, snowshoes, snowboard or tent, and the rain cover is built in. On the hip belt, two zipped pockets keep the phone and a snack.

What fits inside
40L
A lid with two pockets, a base that opens, enough for two days.
The bag loads from the top, under a two-buckle lid, and the large zipped opening at the bottom makes the base accessible without taking everything out. The two zipped lid pockets keep the small kit, the front pocket the layers of the moment.
- the snack and the small kit in the lid
- the map and a fleece in the front pocket
- a sleeping mat under the base
- the hydration reservoir in its compartment
The back system
46 cm
Back length.
A 46 cm back, load-lifters to cinch the bag in.
The load-lifters and the adjustable hip belt pull the bag in against your back when it is full.
The hip belt keeps two zipped pockets: the phone on one side, a snack on the other.
The shoulder straps are ergonomic, and the sternum strap adjusts.

Ways to carry it
Skis, snowshoes, poles: the removable straps go on when the snow arrives.



The details
The map on the front, the bottle on the side, the mat under the base.




In the rain
The cover is built in: you pull it out when the rain keeps on.

Nothing stated
No treatment stated
The fabric has no stated coating or treatment. Without a cover, anything that must stay dry goes in a pouch.

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 two-day bag that opens like a suitcase: the base without emptying everything, the bivouac strapped on the outside, the rain cover in the bag.
- Worth knowing
- At 1,230 g, you already feel it on the climb: for a single day, the Ubic 25 (860 g) is enough.
- Who it's for
- People who head out for two days in the mountains, summer and winter, and want to attach skis, snowshoes or a sleeping mat.
Baptiste, Eiken
