FAQs
What does '5000mm waterproof' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand a 5000mm column of water over a 1-inch square before water starts to seep through. This indicates good protection against moderate rain and snow.
What does '5000mvp breathable' mean?
5000mvp (Moisture Vapour Permeability) indicates how much moisture vapor can pass through the fabric in 24 hours. A 5000mvp rating means the jacket is capable of allowing 5000 grams of moisture vapor per square meter to escape, providing good comfort during light to moderate activity.
Is the hood removable?
The description states it features an 'adjustable packaway hood,' which means it can be rolled up and stored within the collar, but it is not designed to be fully detached from the jacket.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The Trespass Tilbury is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket, not insulated for warmth. For cold weather, you should wear appropriate insulating layers (like a fleece or thermal top) underneath to stay warm.
What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?
This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, camping, cycling, commuting, and general outdoor use where protection from rain and wind is needed.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regular cleaning with a technical cleaner and occasional re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is essential. Avoid using conventional detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the jacket's waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket wets out (fabric absorbs water instead of beading)
This usually means the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite breathability rating
Check your layering. Wearing cotton directly underneath can trap moisture. Opt for wicking base layers made of synthetic or merino wool materials. Also, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Adjust your activity level if you are overheating.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. If the problem persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) specifically designed for outdoor gear.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners. Empty all pockets.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical outer-wear specific cleaner (not conventional detergent, which can strip waterproofing). Avoid fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket by hanging it. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing the jacket to 'wet out.' If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear. This is typically a spray-on or wash-in product. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
