FAQs
What does a 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before leakage occurs. This is considered good protection for heavy rain and typical wet weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme winter weather?
The Trespass Clea Parka is 'lightly padded' and offers warmth, but for extreme sub-zero winter conditions, it is recommended to wear additional insulating layers underneath to ensure adequate warmth.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof properties?
To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical cleaner for waterproof garments (avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners). If water stops beading on the surface, you may need to re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, generally waterproof jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for precise washing temperature and instructions. (Info needed: specific washing temperature from care label).
What is Tres-Shield fabric?
Tres-Shield fabric is a proprietary material designed by Trespass to be highly durable and resilient, providing long-lasting performance and protection against the elements, particularly wind and water.
Does the jacket have adjustable features?
Yes, the jacket features adjustable drawcords, typically at the hood and/or hem, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out wind and rain more effectively.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels cold in very low temperatures.
The jacket is 'lightly padded.' For colder conditions, consider wearing additional thermal base layers and mid-layers underneath to boost insulation and trap more warmth.
Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.
First, check that all zippers are fully closed and any storm flaps are properly secured. Ensure drawcords are tightened to prevent water ingress. If water is seeping through the fabric itself, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need to be refreshed with a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels stiff or crunchy after washing.
This can sometimes happen if too much detergent is used or if fabric softener was applied (which should be avoided). Re-wash the jacket without detergent or with a technical cleaner, ensuring a thorough rinse cycle. Air dry completely.
Zippers are difficult to open or close.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or silicone spray) can often help them glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup
Using your Trespass Clea Parka Jacket is straightforward and requires minimal 'setup'.
- Don the Jacket: Simply put on the jacket as you would any other outerwear.
- Adjust for Fit: Utilize the adjustable drawcords at the hood or hem to customize the fit. Tighten them to seal out wind and rain, or loosen them for more comfort and ventilation.
- Secure Fasteners: Zip up the main closure and fasten any storm flaps if present to enhance weather protection.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Trespass Clea Parka Jacket.
- General Cleaning: It is generally recommended to clean waterproof jackets using a mild detergent, ideally one designed for technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the waterproof membrane.
- Washing Temperature: Wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. (Info needed: specific washing temperature and cycle details from care label).
- Drying: Air dry the jacket by hanging it. Avoid tumble drying unless explicitly stated on the care label, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the outer Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the fabric surface, you may consider applying a re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof garments.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
