【Press Release】Millet Launches New "SENECA GORE-TEX" Shell: Combining High Performance with Reduced Environmental Impact, Featuring "GORE-TEX ePE"

Oct 1, 2025

Millet, an alpine brand founded in France in 1921 (Millet Mountain Group Japan Inc., Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director Per Rasmussen), will launch "SENECA GORE-TEX", a next-generation environmentally friendly waterproof and breathable shell.
Millet has been committed to creating products that balance environmental considerations with high functionality. "SENECA" is a new generation shell that symbolizes this commitment.
This product adopts the latest environmentally friendly material, "GORE-TEX ePE membrane." While maintaining the same high level of waterproofness and breathability as conventional products, it achieves a PFAS-free manufacturing process that does not contain fluorochemicals. Furthermore, the outer fabric uses 100% recycled polyester and is treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish, further enhancing its environmental consideration.
Combining lightness, durability, and ease of movement, "SENECA" is a jacket suitable for a wide range of activities, from everyday outdoor use to serious alpine conditions.

The "SENECA GORE-TEX" series will be available for purchase from October 1, 2025, at the official MILLET online store (https://www.millet.jp/) and authorized retailers nationwide.
