Full details
The Trespass Womens Waterproof Parka Jacket Clea is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection against adverse weather conditions. Its primary benefit is keeping you dry and warm in rain and wind, making it ideal for daily commutes, walks, or casual outdoor activities. While it offers excellent weather protection, users should note that the parka's padded design, while warm, may be less breathable during high-exertion activities compared to a lightweight shell.

FAQs
What does a '5000mm waterproof rating' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before it starts to leak. This rating indicates good protection suitable for heavy rain and general wet weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
While waterproof and windproof, this jacket is designed for general outdoor use and casual wear, not specialized winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. Its light padding and specific features are not tailored for extreme alpine conditions or high-intensity winter activities.
How do 'Taped Seams' enhance the jacket's protection?
Taped seams are an essential feature for waterproof clothing. They involve sealing the tiny holes created by stitching during garment construction. This prevents water from seeping through the seams, which are often a weak point in non-taped waterproof items, ensuring complete waterproof integrity.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally, use a gentle cold wash cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, and avoid fabric softeners.
What is Tres-Shield Fabric?
Tres-Shield is a proprietary fabric developed by Trespass known for its durability and resilience. It's designed to withstand tough outdoor conditions, providing long-lasting performance and protection against the elements.
Are the drawcords for the hood or waist?
The product description mentions 'adjustable drawcords' generally. Often in parkas, these are found at the waist or hem to cinch the jacket for a better fit and to seal out wind, and sometimes also on the hood. > Info needed: [specific placement of drawcords]
Does this jacket have good breathability?
As a waterproof and padded parka, it offers good protection from the elements. While it incorporates a high-performance TPU membrane, its breathability may be less than highly technical, non-padded shell jackets, especially during vigorous activity. It's designed for comfort in cold and wet conditions, prioritizing warmth and waterproofing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after rain.
This could be condensation from body heat, not necessarily water leakage. Ensure you're wearing appropriate layers for the activity level. Also, check that all zippers are fully closed and secured. If the jacket is older, consider re-applying a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather.
The Clea jacket is lightly padded. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing adequate insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top. Its windproof feature helps retain warmth, but layering is key for severe cold.
Water isn't beading on the surface anymore.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the fabric may have worn off. This is normal with use and washing. You can restore the water repellency by cleaning the jacket and then applying a DWR re-proofing product, available as a wash-in or spray-on treatment from outdoor retailers.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket. Always check the care label inside the jacket for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the outer Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading up, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear.
