Product Information
Full details
The MILLET Seneca 2.5L Hiking Jacket is designed for adult male hikers who require a reliable balance of waterproof protection and breathability during wet-weather treks. Featuring a 10K/10K Dryedge membrane and an eco-responsible, recycled ripstop polyester construction, this jacket provides durable, lightweight coverage. While it excels in performance, users should note that as a 2.5-layer shell, it is primarily intended for active layering rather than as a heavy-duty insulated winter coat.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
This is a lightweight shell intended for hiking. While it is waterproof, it lacks the insulation and features like powder skirts required for dedicated skiing.
What does 2.5-layer construction mean?
It refers to an outer fabric bonded to a waterproof membrane, with a thin protective 'half-layer' printed on the inside to protect the membrane, keeping the jacket lightweight.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. Use a technical gear cleaner on a gentle cycle, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.
Is the jacket fully windproof?
Yes, the DRYEDGE membrane acts as a windproof barrier, protecting you from chilling winds on exposed terrain.
Does it have pockets for small items?
Yes, it features two zipped hand pockets for storing essentials while on the trail.
Is the hood helmet-compatible?
The hood is designed for ergonomic hiking fit, not specifically for climbing or skiing helmets.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the outer fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore water shedding properties.
Feeling damp or clammy inside the jacket during high activity.
Ensure the under-arm ventilation zips are open and consider adjusting your layering system to ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking and not cotton.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or debris using a soft brush, and ensure the fabric flap isn't caught in the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the DRYEDGE waterproof membrane, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Always wash the jacket in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear, and avoid fabric softeners that can clog the membrane. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry; occasional low-heat drying can help reactivate the PFC-free water-repellent treatment. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away for long periods to prevent mildew. The jacket is designed with a fluid fit that accommodates standard base layers or thin fleece mid-layers.
