FAQs
What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water in a 24-hour period. This generally provides good protection against moderate rain.
What does 5000mvp breathability mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Permeability. A rating of 5000mvp means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating a moderate level of breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, it should be worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or down.
How do I ensure the jacket stays waterproof?
Regular cleaning and re-application of a DWR treatment are recommended to maintain its water-repellent properties. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners when washing.
Is this jacket suitable for hiking?
Yes, its waterproof, windproof, and packable features make it a suitable choice for hiking, especially in unpredictable weather conditions where space is a consideration.
What sizes are available?
The Qikpac jacket is available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While this specific model is described for men, Trespass often offers similar packaway jackets in unisex or women's specific fits and colors.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions.
Seams appear to be leaking during heavy rain.
While seams are taped, extreme conditions can challenge any waterproof garment. Consider using a more robust jacket for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can occur if the breathability limits are reached during intense exercise. Try to vent the jacket by partially unzipping it or removing a layer underneath if possible. Ensure the internal moisture is not from sweat.
The packaway pouch is difficult to use.
Practice folding the jacket neatly before stuffing it into the pouch. Start by folding it lengthwise, then widthwise, before rolling or stuffing it into the designated pouch.
