Product Information
Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L is a high-performance technical shell designed for adult hikers who prioritize weather protection and breathability in wet, mountainous conditions. Built with a 10K/10K Dryedge membrane and recycled materials, this jacket keeps you dry while maintaining airflow during strenuous ascents; however, its lightweight 2.5-layer construction is best suited for packable versatility rather than extreme alpine winter conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
It is a 2.5-layer shell designed primarily for hiking. While it is waterproof, it lacks the insulation and specific features needed for resort or backcountry skiing.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. Follow the care label, use a technical detergent, and avoid fabric softeners.
What does 10K/10K mean?
It refers to the jacket's waterproof rating (10,000mm) and its breathability rating (10,000g/m²/24h), meaning it can withstand moderate rain while allowing sweat to evaporate.
Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?
The hood is designed for hiking comfort and adjustability. While it can accommodate some headgear, it may not fit over large climbing helmets.
Is the fabric fully recycled?
Yes, the jacket is constructed from 100% recycled ripstop fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or reapply a DWR spray.
Internal condensation buildup
Ensure the underarm ventilation zips are open during high-intensity movement, and adjust your base layers to ensure they are moisture-wicking and not cotton.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of breathability via underarm vents
- Environmentally friendly PFC-free DWR treatment
- Lightweight and highly packable for long hikes
- Durable ripstop material resists trail abrasion
- Waterproof construction ensures protection in wet weather
Cons
- Not intended for extreme sub-zero alpine conditions
- Limited pocket storage capacity
- Requires regular washing to maintain DWR effectiveness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure the adjustable hem and hood are tightened during heavy rain to create a tight seal. When layering, the jacket is compatible with standard mid-layers such as fleece or synthetic puffers. Care instructions are crucial: machine wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner, avoiding fabric softeners which degrade the DWR coating. Always tumble dry on low heat or air dry to help reactivate the water-repellent treatment on the outer shell. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric.
