Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L is a high-performance, eco-conscious waterproof jacket designed for male hikers who require reliable protection during rainy treks.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features the DRYEDGE 10K/10K waterproof membrane, which is designed to keep you dry in heavy rain.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it offers excellent weather protection, it is designed primarily for hiking and does not feature snow-specific add-ons like a powder skirt.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle with technical detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat to maintain the waterproof coating.
Does it have internal pockets?
The jacket includes two secure zipped hand pockets for easy access to essentials while on the trail.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is fully adjustable to provide a secure fit and better peripheral visibility during storms.
What does 2.5L mean?
It refers to the construction of the fabric, which consists of an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and a protective print layer on the inside, keeping it lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR treatment likely needs refreshing. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR renewal product.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check if you are over-layering or if the humidity is too high for the jacket's breathability rating. Open the underarm vents to increase airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the waterproofing capabilities of the Seneca 2.5L, ensure the hood and bottom hem are cinched correctly in high-wind conditions. The jacket is designed with a fluid fit, meaning it is compatible with thin fleece or lightweight synthetic mid-layers worn underneath. For care, wash the garment in cold water on a delicate cycle using technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. To reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after several washes, tumble dry on a low-heat setting or iron on low, ensuring the heat helps redistribute the treatment on the fabric surface.
