Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the Kamet GTX jacket a good choice for freeride and powder snowboarding?

  The Kamet GTX is a 3‑layer shell built for wet, cold mountain conditions with fully taped seams, helmet‑compatible hooding, a powder skirt and pit vents for mobility and ventilation. Millet outfits this class of shell with high‑performance membranes (DRYEDGE®/GORE‑TEX® practices in the line) and ~20,000mm waterproofing and high breathability ratings to shed deep snow while letting perspiration escape.
• How should I size Millet jackets and pants like the Kamet GTX and Touring Shield Pants for layering and movement?

  Millet designs an athletic, ergonomic fit with 4‑way stretch and articulated joints, so many riders choose their regular size if they prefer a close, performance fit or one size up for extra insulation layers. Check the specific model size chart and consider torso length and helmet‑compatible hood fit for jackets and waist/seat mobility for pants; Touring Shield Pants in M are roughly 710 g, so weight and intended layering matter for touring.
• What materials and technologies does Millet use to keep you dry, warm, and safe in backcountry conditions?

  Millet pairs durable waterproof membranes (DRYEDGE® and GORE‑TEX® 3‑layer constructions) with synthetic insulations like PRIMALOFT® Silver and Polartec® fleeces, plus recycled technical fabrics for sustainability. Key construction features include full seam‑sealing, reinforced cuffs and edges, integrated powder skirts/gaiters, RECCO® reflectors on many models, and ventilation zips to balance breathability and protection.
• Which Millet pieces are best for ski touring versus resort freeride and how should I choose between them?

  For ski touring prioritize lightweight, highly breathable, low‑bulk pieces with good ventilation and stretch—Touring Shield Pants and pared‑down shells in Millet’s touring line emphasize mobility and packability. For resort freeride or deep powder pick robust 3‑layer shells like the Kamet GTX with higher waterproof ratings, reinforced areas, powder skirts and more weatherproof features; pair freeride shells with PRIMALOFT® or Polartec® midlayers depending on expected cold and effort level.
