FAQs
How waterproof is this jacket?
It has a waterproof rating of 3000mm. This means it can withstand 3000mm of water over a square inch before water penetrates, making it suitable for light to moderate rain and snow.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
Yes, the jacket is padded and features a furry fleece lining which provides significant warmth. It's suitable for chilly winter days, especially when layered appropriately underneath.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood with the fur trim is removable, offering you the flexibility to customize your look and level of protection. The jacket also features an adjustable grown-on hood.
How do I clean my jacket?
Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions. Typically, it should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and line dry the jacket.
What does 'breathable rating 3000mvp' mean?
3000mvp stands for Moisture Vapour Permeability. A rating of 3000mvp indicates that 3000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, helping to prevent sweat buildup and keep you comfortable during active use.
Is this jacket heavy or bulky?
While it is padded and lined for warmth and protection, the jacket is designed for comfortable wear and ease of movement. Its weight is balanced to provide insulation without feeling overly bulky for everyday use and outdoor activities.
Can I iron this jacket?
It is generally not recommended to iron waterproof or technical outerwear, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and compromise the fabric's integrity. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside even with waterproof rating.
This can happen if internal moisture (perspiration) doesn't escape quickly enough, or if humidity is very high. Ensure proper layering to manage internal moisture, and check that all zippers and adjustments are fully closed. The breathable rating helps with vapor escape, but heavy exertion can sometimes overwhelm it.
Water seems to be soaking through the outer fabric after some time, rather than beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the fabric's exterior may need reapplication. This is a normal part of wear and tear. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider using a DWR reproofer spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
The fur trim on the hood looks flattened or matted.
Gently shake or brush the fur trim to fluff it up. If it's removable, you can detach it and lightly comb it with your fingers or a soft brush. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat.

This parka requires minimal 'setup' – simply put it on and adjust it to your comfort. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed for maximum protection. Utilize the adjustable drawcord at the waist to customize the fit, and secure the hood using its adjustable features if you need extra protection against wind or rain. The jacket is compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual wear, perfect for layering over sweaters or light fleeces. To ensure the longevity of your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket and maintain its waterproof and breathable properties, proper care is essential:
- Read the Care Label: Always consult the specific care instructions on the jacket's internal label.
- Washing: Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fabric integrity.
- Drying: Line dry the jacket away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry unless explicitly stated on the care label, as high heat can compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
