FAQs
How waterproof is the Trespass Clea Jacket?
The jacket boasts a 5000mm waterproof rating and features taped seams, meaning it offers excellent protection against heavy downpours and wet weather, effectively keeping you dry.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood is 'grown on' but is adjustable with drawcords and includes a removable faux fur trim, allowing you to customize its appearance and functionality.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
The Clea Jacket is 'lightly padded.' While it provides warmth, for very cold or sub-zero temperatures, we recommend layering it over a warm mid-layer (like a fleece or insulated jacket) to ensure optimal thermal comfort.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Always check the care label first. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical wash designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry thoroughly.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for daily urban use, commuting, dog walking, light hiking, and general outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is needed. It's designed for comfort and performance in a variety of casual settings.
Does the jacket have any internal pockets?
The product description details two zip chest pockets, two patch pockets with flaps, and two lower profile patch pockets. It does not explicitly mention internal pockets, so assume storage is primarily external unless stated otherwise.
Is the fur trim real?
No, the product description specifies it has a 'Removable Fake Fur Trim', indicating it is faux fur.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric (reduced waterproofing).
This often indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. Try cleaning the jacket with a technical wash for waterproof garments and then re-applying a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for outerwear.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
The Clea Jacket is lightly padded. For colder conditions, ensure you are layering appropriately with a suitable base layer and a mid-layer (e.g., fleece) underneath to trap additional warmth.
Zipper is stiff or sticky.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Faux fur trim looks matted or clumpy.
Carefully remove the faux fur trim. Gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush or a comb to fluff it up. If it's washable (check label), hand wash it in cold water with a mild detergent, then air dry and fluff.
Pockets or seams appear to be leaking.
While the jacket has taped seams, extreme pressure or prolonged exposure in specific spots can sometimes overwhelm the barrier. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. If a persistent leak is identified, inspect the seam tape for damage. For minor issues, a seam sealant can be applied, but significant damage might require professional repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Trespass Clea Jacket requires minimal setup. Simply adjust the drawcords on the hood and hem to achieve a comfortable and secure fit that seals out drafts. Fasten the button cuff adjusters around your wrists as desired. The removable hood and faux fur trim can be attached or detached using the integrated fasteners, allowing you to customize the jacket's look and level of protection.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as an outer layer for adult females. It pairs well with various mid and base layers, such as fleeces, sweaters, or thermal tops, to adapt to different temperature conditions. The generous fit allows for comfortable layering underneath. Available in various sizes and colours, it can be matched to your personal style and layering needs.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and windproof performance of your Trespass Clea Jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. General guidelines for polyester waterproof jackets include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof clothing to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Detergent: Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can clog or strip the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry the jacket on a hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Tumble drying on low heat for a short period *may* help reactivate the DWR, but always check the care label first.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water starts to soak into the fabric rather than bead off, consider re-proofing the jacket with a spray-on or wash-in DWR product.
