Full details

The Trespass Mitchie Fleece Jacket in Grey Marl (XL) is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet warm layering option for outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the microfleece material offering comfort and breathability, while its main caveat is its suitability as a mid-layer rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh conditions. Key features include anti-pilling fabric, a full front zip for adjustable ventilation, a secure chest zip pocket for essentials, and elasticated cuffs and hem for a snug fit.

FAQs

What is microfleece?

Microfleece is a soft, lightweight synthetic fabric made from polyester. It's known for its insulating properties, breathability, and quick-drying capabilities, making it ideal for activewear and layering.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Trespass Mitchie Fleece Jacket is made from microfleece, which is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.

How does the anti-pilling feature work?

The anti-pilling treatment on the fabric prevents the formation of small fuzzy balls (pills) on the surface that can occur with friction during wear and washing. This helps the jacket maintain its smooth appearance over time.

Can I wear this as my only layer in winter?

While the fleece provides warmth, it is generally recommended as a mid-layer. For winter conditions, you would typically layer it over a base layer and under a windproof and waterproof outer shell for full protection against cold, wind, and precipitation.

What can I store in the chest zip pocket?

The chest zip pocket is designed for small, essential items such as keys, a mobile phone, a wallet, or energy bars. Ensure items are not too bulky to maintain comfort.

How should I wash my fleece jacket to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30-40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Washing inside out can help preserve the fabric's surface.

What does 190gsm refer to?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter', which is a measure of fabric density and weight. A 190gsm fleece indicates a standard mid-weight fabric that offers a good balance of warmth and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide if available. The elasticated cuffs and hem offer some adjustment, but the primary fit is determined by the jacket size.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant if the issue persists.

Reduced warmth or breathability

Ensure the jacket is clean. Accumulated dirt and oils can affect fabric performance. Follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Trespass Mitchie Fleece Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and layering.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an adult male garment and functions best as a mid-layer in conjunction with other outdoor apparel like base layers and waterproof/windproof outer shells. It is suitable for various outdoor pursuits and casual use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the breathability and wicking properties of the fleece.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric does not typically require ironing, and high heat can damage the microfleece.
  4. Pilling Care: The anti-pilling treatment helps, but to further minimize potential pilling, wash the fleece inside out and avoid washing it with abrasive items like denim or items with velcro.
