MILLET Parmelan Hybrid Hoodie - Men's Black - Noir, S

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “I grab this when I’m moving fast and don’t want to stop layering. The windproof panels cut chill on ridgelines, while the grid fleece dumps heat on the climb. It stretches well under a pack and stuffs into its own pocket, which makes it an easy yes for mixed-output days.” We built days around the Parmelan Hybrid Hoodie—early starts, cool winds, and steady movement that never quite settles into one pace. Millet designed this layer to thrive in that in-between zone, where a full shell is too much but a fleece alone won’t cut it. From breezy traverses to shaded approaches, it keeps us comfortable without breaking rhythm. Windproof ripstop across the chest and upper sleeves shields us from gusts, while the recycled micro-grid fleece elsewhere breathes efficiently as effort ramps up. Four-way stretch and elastic binding let it move naturally with our stride or reach, and when the sun finally wins, the jacket packs neatly into its own pocket and disappears into a pack.
