Product Information
Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L Hiking Jacket is designed for active adult males who require reliable weather protection without sacrificing mobility during outdoor pursuits. Featuring a 10K/10K Dryedge membrane and recycled ripstop fabric, this shell provides an excellent balance of waterproof performance and breathability for wet-weather trail use. While it excels in versatility, users should note that as a 2.5-layer shell, it is primarily intended as a protective outer layer rather than a standalone insulated garment.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
It is a 2.5-layer shell. It provides excellent wind and rain protection, but you will need to add warm base and mid-layers for insulation in snowy, cold conditions.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
Keep the fabric clean, as dirt and oil can block the membrane. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically once water stops beading on the outer layer.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the hood is adjustable to ensure a secure fit around your head, helping to protect your face from wind and rain.
What does 10K/10K mean?
It refers to a 10,000mm waterproof rating (resisting water pressure) and a 10,000g breathability rating (allowing moisture to escape), ideal for moderate to heavy activity.
Is the fabric eco-friendly?
Yes, it uses 100% recycled ripstop polyester and a PFC-free water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading off the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Condensation build-up inside the jacket
Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of breathability for active pursuits
- Eco-conscious materials including recycled fabric and PFC-free DWR
- Excellent mobility due to fluid fit construction
- Adjustable features allow for a tailored, weather-tight fit
- Effective ventilation system for temperature regulation
Cons
- Not a thermal jacket; requires layering in cold weather
- Limited to two hand pockets
- Requires proper maintenance to keep DWR performance active
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip all pockets and the main center zipper before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using specialized technical garment cleaner to avoid clogging the breathable membrane. Do not use fabric softeners, as they strip the water-repellent coating. Tumble dry on low heat for a short period to reactivate the DWR finish, or use a medium-heat iron with a cloth covering the fabric. For the best fit, ensure you can wear your standard mid-layers comfortably underneath without restricting movement.
