FAQs
What do the waterproof and breathability ratings mean?
The 3000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 3000mm high before water penetrates, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. The 3000mvp breathability rating (Moisture Vapour Permeability) means 3000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, helping you stay comfortable by preventing sweat buildup.
Is the hood removable?
The hood itself is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. However, the fur trim on the hood is removable, allowing for versatility in style and easier care.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
With a 3000mm waterproof rating, the jacket offers good protection against light to moderate rain. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, you may eventually experience some moisture penetration, though taped seams provide added protection.
How should I clean the jacket?
Always remove the fur trim before washing. Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry the jacket completely, away from direct heat.
Is the jacket suitable for winter use?
Yes, with its furry fleece lining and windproof design, the Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket provides good warmth for general winter use. For colder conditions, ensure you wear appropriate thermal base and mid-layers underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features two zip pockets for secure storage and two patch pockets with flaps. While they offer good protection against casual splashes and light rain, they are not designed to be fully waterproof for sensitive electronics; consider using sealed dry bags for such items in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath the jacket. While the fleece lining adds warmth, in very cold conditions, effective layering is essential for thermal regulation.
Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.
First, check that all zippers are fully closed. Although the jacket has a 3000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually lead to some moisture penetration. Consider re-proofing the outer fabric if the issue persists after long-term use, using a suitable spray-on or wash-in re-proofer.
Jacket feels too bulky or restrictive.
Use the adjustable drawcord at the waist to customize the fit. If you've layered heavily, the jacket might feel snug; ensure you've selected the correct size to accommodate your layering preferences.
Removable fur trim looks matted or dirty.
Detach the fur trim from the hood. Gently hand-wash it in cold water with a small amount of mild detergent, or spot clean. Carefully comb through the fur (if applicable) and allow it to air dry naturally, reshaping as needed.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Preparation: Before washing, ensure all zippers are closed and any drawcords are loosened. Crucially, remove the fur trim from the hood.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water. Use a technical outdoor garment cleaner if available, or a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the fabric's breathability and waterproofing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Fur Trim Care: The removable fur trim should be hand-washed separately in cold water with a mild detergent, or spot cleaned. Gently reshape and air dry.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or damage.
