TECHNOLOGY:

 

GORE-TEX®: The Gore-Tex® membrane is a very thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) with a laminated outer fabric and is often lined. It is waterproof (28,000 mm) and windproof (RET between 6 and 13), as well as permeable to water vapour. The result is that water from the outside does not penetrate the garment, the cold wind does not get through and perspiration is easily released.

 

DWR : Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coatings, which improve fabric resistance to water and stains, helps prolong the durability of technical garments.

For all collections since 2014, Millet uses new PFC-free solutions that are as efficient as current finishes but with a far lower impact on health and the environment.

 

CERTIFICATION:

 

Low Impact™: Low Impact™ is based on 2 criteria that are essential to eco-design: the use of materials with a low environmental impact (at least 40% of the weight of the product is made from low impact materials such as Ecoya, Sorona®, tencel, hemp, RDS feathers), or certified materials (at least 80% of the product weight must be certified Bluesign®, Oeko-Tex®).

 

BREATHABILITY:

 

RET Breathability Index: Breathability determines the ability a fabric has for moisture wicking, it is measured in Thermal Evaporative Resistance (RET).

  • RET < 6: extremely breathable fabric. Fabric that stays comfortable during intense exercise.
  • RET < 12: very breathable fabric. Fabric that is comfortable to wear during moderate exercise.
  • RET < 20: medium breathable fabric. Fabric that is uncomfortable to wear during intense exercise.
  • RET > 20: not very breathable fabric. Fabric that is uncomfortable to wear during moderate exercise.

 

FIT:

 

Active Fit™: Fitted throughout the body, slightly tighter at the bottom, making it less bulky and more reliable during activity. This fit is often combined with stretchy materials for added comfort.
