FAQs
What does a '5000mm waterproof rating' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5,000 millimeters of water in a column before water starts to penetrate. This provides good protection against light to moderate rain and snow.
Is this jacket suitable for winter use?
Yes, with its light padding and full quilted lining, the jacket provides warmth suitable for general winter conditions. For very cold temperatures, we recommend layering it with appropriate thermal clothing.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Generally, yes, on a cold, gentle cycle with a specialized waterproof fabric cleaner. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions, especially regarding faux fur components.
How do I restore the water repellency of my jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has worn off. You can restore it by cleaning the jacket and then applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofing product, available at outdoor retailers.
Does the jacket come with a hood?
The product description mentions adjustable drawcords, which typically implies the presence of a hood for enhanced weather protection and custom fit. While not explicitly stated as 'detachable hood,' the adjustable drawcords suggest integrated hood functionality.
What is Tres-Shield fabric?
Tres-Shield is a proprietary fabric technology from Trespass designed to be durable, windproof, and waterproof, offering reliable protection against the elements in outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems to be losing its waterproof effectiveness.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable DWR re-proofing product for outerwear.
Jacket feels cold despite being padded.
Ensure all drawcords and zippers are fully closed to seal out drafts. Consider layering appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for added insulation, especially in very cold conditions. Ensure the jacket fits correctly – too large allows cold air in, too small restricts insulation.
Faux fur looks matted or clumpy.
Gently comb the faux fur with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to restore its fluffiness. For small matted spots, lightly dampen with water and comb through, then allow to air dry.
Zipper snags or is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Pockets or seams feel damp inside after rain.
Confirm that all zips, particularly pocket zips, were fully closed and that the storm flap (if present) was properly secured. While the jacket has taped seams, extreme conditions or wear can sometimes compromise them. Check for any visible damage to the seams.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof and windproof properties, as well as the integrity of the Tres-Shield fabric and faux fur components. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably hang dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the TPU membrane and taped seams. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the DWR coating on the outer fabric may wear off. You can reapply a DWR treatment (available as a spray or wash-in product) to restore water repellency. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions carefully.
- Faux Fur Care: For any faux fur elements, typically a gentle spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing faux fur unless explicitly stated on the care label, as it can damage the texture and appearance.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
