Product Information
Full details
The MILLET SENECA 2.5L is a high-performance waterproof hiking jacket engineered for adult hikers who prioritize durability and weather protection in wet environments. Utilizing a specialized DRYEDGE 10K/10K membrane, this jacket keeps moisture out while allowing for breathability during strenuous ascents; however, users should note that as a 2.5-layer shell, it is designed primarily as a protective outer layer and should be paired with insulation during cold-weather expeditions.

How should I wash the jacket?

Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or grit, then lubricate with a specialized zipper lubricant or mild soap if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always ensure the center waterproof zip is fully closed before facing heavy rain. For care, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric detergent that does not contain bleach or fabric softeners. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat occasionally to reactivate the PFC-free DWR water-repellent finish. Store in a dry, cool place and avoid compressing the garment for extended periods to preserve the membrane's structure.
