Partner Product Launch: </br> <br>New Millet X Canyon Apparel Collection powered by Polartec®</br>

Gravel riding meets the mountains. Engineered to redefine adventure through technical innovation and shared values, the exclusive capsule collection draws on Millet’s legacy in high-altitude performance, Canyon’s engineering prowess in cycling, and Polartec’s leading high-performance technical fabrics.

In fact, the support of Polartec®, whose advanced fabrics enable seamless transitions across disciplines and terrains, is central to the success of the project on multiple levels.


Working together, the Millet and Canyon teams have created a capsule collection that leverages a shared commitment to innovation and reflects the united goal of inspiring people to push their limits and share the adventure, whether in the mountains or on Gravel trails. This vision was brought to life with the help of Polartec®, whose advanced fabric technologies made it possible to deliver high-performance solutions tailored to both cycling and alpine environments. After turning heads at the Traka Race with the Sharp 3L hydration jacket, Millet and Canyon now reveal the textile pieces of this collaboration, designed to blend activities and reach new heights.

Bike to Climb: the shared adventure of Millet, Canyon, and Polartec


Canyon cyclists and Millet mountaineers share more than a love of endurance and challenge; they are united by a mindset that seeks exploration without compromise. The Bike to Climb concept captures this evolution in adventure: riding to the base of a peak, climbing to the top, and doing it all with one integrated, high-performance wardrobe. Add Polartec® fabric technologies to the mix and you have best-in-class hybrid gear that delivers the comfort, thermoregulation, and protection essential to every stage of the journey. Here too, the strategic use of Polartec® Power Dry™, Polartec® Power Grid™, and Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro combines to ensure that every piece in the collection is designed to perform across varying intensities and unpredictable environments.


A collection built for long distances, and designed for demanding efforts


From dry descent winds to the first light of a bivouac, every piece in the Millet x Canyon collection is designed for long adventures, remote passes, and intense days.

•    The Route 3L JKT jacket shields you from the elements with its double Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro and Pertex® membrane. The dual-membrane construction delivers weatherproof protection that breathes with the body, making it ideal for active use in shifting climates.
•    The Route Windbreak vest, which incorporates Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro, ensures ultra-light, breathable, and stretchy support for high-intensity efforts and changing paces.
•    The Route fleece made with Polartec® Power Grid™ offers quick-drying warmth and breathability, complete with a balaclava-style hood that layers perfectly under a helmet.
•    The long-sleeve Route t-shirt features Polartec® Power Dry™ to  pull moisture away from the skin and transfer it to the outer layer, where it can evaporate quickly. 
•    The Route pants, made from Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro and reinforced with Dyneema® pockets, combine durability, freedom of movement, and ergonomic design.
•    The collection also includes the Route shorts and Route Socks, which provide optimal support and long-lasting comfort.
Every detail is crafted to maximize performance in the field: active cuts, technical finishes, reflective elements, and premium materials.

 

A minimalist, functional wardrobe rooted in Millet’s heritage


Staying true to its roots, Millet focuses on high-performance materials, meticulous design, and a clean, timeless look. Indeed, the collaboration would not have reached its full potential without the foundational support of Polartec®, whose advanced fabric technologies, developed to perform in the most demanding environments, were instrumental in turning the concept into a fully realized, technical collection. 
High mountains remain, and will always be, the foundation of Millet, but adventure no longer ends at the summit. It begins on the bike, continues during the climb, and carries on at the bivouac. While record ascents and new routes still captivate us, this collaboration celebrates the experience, the movement, and the adventure - made even more memorable when shared. Gravel riding becomes an ally to vertical exploration, and Millet the partner for a generation ready to discover the world in new ways.
