From the conquest of Everest to urban style. There’s a piece that embodies the history of modern mountaineering and the DNA of a brand synonymous with the mountains: the Millet Heritage Down Jacket. A faithful re-edition of the down jacket worn by Reinhold Messner in the 1980s, when he conquered Everest (8,849 m) alone, this jacket celebrates one of history’s most legendary feats and brings that legacy directly to today’s cities.

What makes the Heritage Down Jacket instantly recognizable is its Intense Blue color, the intense blue that accompanied Messner to the “roof of the world” and which over the years has become a timeless symbol of Millet’s identity.
Tradition and innovation in the same garment
The Millet Heritage Down Jacket combines the allure of golden-age mountaineering with contemporary technology. The 700 fill duck down fill provides excellent thermal insulation, while the PFAS-free water-repellent treatment protects against moisture while respecting the environment.
Reinforced shoulders offer durability, designed for heavy use, while functional details such as the removable hood, two zipped hand pockets and an internal pocket complete a design that looks to the present without forgetting the past.
From the mountain to the city
With its iconic look, the down jacket is not only a tribute to the history of mountaineering, but also a versatile garment, perfect for tackling urban challenges with the same spirit that guided great feats at altitude.
Available in Intense Blue and Navy Blue, the Millet Heritage Down Jacket is a symbol of style, resistance and passion for the mountains.
