FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Trespass Tilbury jacket is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. While it provides a good outer shell, it does not include insulation for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal mid-layers.
How do I make sure my jacket remains waterproof over time?
To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, avoiding fabric softeners. Periodically, you may need to reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, available as a spray-on or wash-in product.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the Trespass Tilbury jacket. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical detergent formulated for waterproof clothing. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
'Taped seams' means that all the stitching lines on the jacket's interior have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny needle holes made during manufacturing, ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is not removable. It is an 'adjustable packaway hood,' meaning it can be neatly rolled up and stored within the collar of the jacket when not in use, offering flexibility without being fully detached.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from Polyester, a durable and water-resistant synthetic fabric.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets feature zips and are designed to be highly water-resistant, offering secure storage for essentials. For sensitive electronics, it's always recommended to use an additional dry bag in heavy rain as an extra precaution.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels wet inside after rain.
Check if all zippers (main and pockets) were fully closed. Ensure the hood was properly adjusted and deployed. If the issue persists, the DWR coating might need reapplication, or the jacket might be experiencing condensation due to high humidity or strenuous activity; ensure proper layering to manage moisture.
Zip seems stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a pencil lead along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Keep zips clean from dirt and debris.
Hood does not stay put in windy conditions.
Utilize the adjustable drawstrings on the hood to tighten it around your face and head for a more secure fit. Ensure it's pulled far enough forward to shield your face effectively.

Care

- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
