Product Information
Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L Waterproof Hiking Jacket is a technical outer layer built for male outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliable weather protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring the proprietary DRYEDGE 10K/10K membrane, this jacket excels at keeping you dry during heavy rain while allowing internal moisture to escape during intense hikes. While it offers impressive durability through its recycled ripstop fabric, users should note that as a 2.5-layer shell, it is optimized for weight-saving performance and may require proper layering underneath in sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the DRYEDGE membrane is naturally windproof, which significantly aids in heat retention when hiking in exposed or high-altitude areas.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it is a hiking-focused jacket, the waterproof nature and freedom of movement make it suitable for light resort skiing if paired with adequate insulating layers.
What does 2.5L mean?
2.5-layer construction consists of the outer fabric, the waterproof membrane, and a protective "half-layer" print on the interior, making it lighter and more packable than 3-layer jackets.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The Seneca 2.5L features two external zippered hand pockets for external storage.
Is the hood helmet-compatible?
The hood is designed for hiking use with adjustments to fit the head; it may not be large enough to fit over most climbing or skiing helmets.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh water-repellent treatment according to the product manufacturer's instructions.
Feeling damp inside during moderate activity.
Check that the underarm ventilation zips are open. If it is raining, ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is adjusted to prevent water entry.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:
- Care & Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low-heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent treatment. If water no longer beads on the surface after washing, use a dedicated spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
- Layering Compatibility: The athletic fit is designed to be worn over technical base layers and lightweight mid-layers. For colder conditions, ensure your mid-layer is not overly bulky to maintain the jacket's intended range of motion.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it tightly compressed in a pack for long periods to keep the membrane integrity intact.
