Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Kristen Hooded Softshell Jacket is designed for women seeking a versatile and comfortable outerwear solution for outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its primary benefit lies in providing warmth and protection from the elements, thanks to its waterproof, windproof, and breathable design. A minor consideration is that while waterproof, it's a softshell, which typically offers less extreme rain protection than a hardshell jacket in torrential conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Trespass Kristen jacket has an 8000mm waterproof rating, making it suitable for light to moderate rain and snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated hardshell waterproof jacket with a higher rating might offer superior protection.
How warm is this jacket?
It provides good warmth due to its windproof design and bonded fur back. It's ideal for cool to cold conditions when layered appropriately. For very cold temperatures, an additional insulating layer underneath is recommended.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please follow the care label instructions, typically a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester, providing durability and performance features like waterproofing and breathability.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is integrated with the jacket and cannot be detached.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features two zip pockets. While the outer fabric is waterproof, the pockets themselves are not guaranteed to be fully waterproof for electronics in heavy rain. It is best to use waterproof pouches for sensitive items if expecting significant wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off or become dirty. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket during activity.
While the jacket is breathable, layering too much underneath can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure your base and mid-layers are also breathable. Also, check if the DWR needs re-activating, as a soaked outer layer can hinder breathability.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. If it's stiff, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant designed for outdoor gear.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Trespass Kristen Softshell Jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron directly on the waterproof coating. If tumble drying, ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore water repellency using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
