Product Information
Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L Hiking Jacket is designed for adult hikers who require a reliable, lightweight barrier against unpredictable mountain weather. Built with a 10K/10K waterproof and breathable membrane, this jacket excels at keeping you dry during moderate to high-output activities, though its lightweight 2.5-layer construction is best suited for packable versatility rather than heavy-duty alpine mountaineering.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
While it provides wind and rain protection, it is designed for hiking; it lacks the insulation and specific features needed for deep winter skiing.
Does the hood roll away?
The hood is designed to be adjustable for a close fit but does not roll into the collar.
What does 2.5L mean?
It refers to the construction: an outer fabric, a waterproof membrane, and a protective print layer on the inside, making it lighter than a traditional 3-layer jacket.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius with mild, technical soap.
What should I do if the zipper gets stuck?
Check for loose fabric caught in the track; keep the track clean of mud and debris to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment has likely worn off; clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Open the underarm ventilation zips and ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to improve breathability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High breathability for active hiking
- Lightweight and easily packable design
- Sustainable construction using recycled materials
- Effective underarm ventilation system
- Good range of motion for technical trails
Cons
- 2.5-layer build is thinner than heavy-duty 3-layer shells
- Requires regular re-application of DWR to maintain water shedding
- Slimmer fit may limit layering options
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, always fasten the central and pocket zips before washing. Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent to avoid clogging the breathable pores. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, apply a DWR reactivation spray and tumble dry on a low-heat setting to refresh the performance. The jacket is designed to fit comfortably over a base layer and a mid-layer fleece, though if you plan to wear a bulky down jacket underneath, you may find the fit restrictive.
