FAQs
Is the Trespass Tilbury jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with taped seams and a water-resistant front zip, it's designed to offer reliable protection in various wet weather conditions, including heavy rain. For extreme, prolonged downpours, regular re-application of DWR is recommended.
How do I clean my Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner specifically for waterproof outerwear. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh detergents. Air dry thoroughly or tumble dry on very low heat if the care label allows.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that a waterproof tape has been applied over the stitching on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the needle during sewing, which is crucial for full waterproof protection.
Is this jacket breathable?
As a waterproof jacket, it offers a degree of breathability to allow moisture vapor to escape. However, like most waterproof shell jackets, its breathability may be less than non-waterproof garments, particularly during high-intensity activities.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
The Tilbury jacket is a waterproof shell, meaning it provides protection from wind and rain but minimal insulation. For winter use, it is designed to be worn over insulating layers like fleece or thermal tops to provide warmth.
What material is the jacket made from?
The Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket is typically made from 100% Polyester for its main fabric and taffeta for the lining, offering a good balance of waterproofing, durability, and comfort.
How do I pack away the hood?
The adjustable packaway hood can be rolled or folded neatly and tucked into a dedicated collar pocket. Locate the opening at the back of the collar, fold the hood, and store it inside, then close the flap or zipper (if present).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively (wetting out).
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments, then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
Front zipper feels stiff or is difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. A specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil can help ease movement. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Hood does not stay securely in place during windy conditions.
Utilize all adjustment points on the hood, including drawstrings and toggles, to achieve a snug fit around your head. Ensure the inner storm flap is properly secured for added wind protection.
Pockets feel damp inside after light rain.
Although equipped with zip pockets, ensure they are fully closed. Check for any small tears or worn areas in the pocket lining that might allow moisture ingress. Avoid overstuffing pockets, which can strain seams.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket maintains its performance and extends its lifespan, follow these general care guidelines for waterproof outerwear:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using standard detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Hang to air dry, or tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric's waterproof membrane. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the jacket's exterior may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' rather than bead up. You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment after washing.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Zippers: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, a specialized zipper lubricant can be used sparingly.
