Product Information
Full details
The Trespass Qikpac Packaway Shell Jacket is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against rain and wind during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is its waterproof and windproof construction combined with a lightweight, packable design for ultimate portability. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's best suited for moderate to heavy rain rather than prolonged downpours due to its 5000mm rating. This jacket offers essential weather defense with practical features like adjustable hood, zip pockets, and taped seams.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy, prolonged rain?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, which is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme or very prolonged downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out, fold it neatly, and then tuck it into the designated internal or external pocket (depending on the specific design feature for packability). Zip it closed once packed.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat if necessary, or hang dry.
Can I wear this jacket over a thick jumper?
Yes, the jacket has a relaxed fit designed to accommodate layering. You can comfortably wear it over a fleece or a light to medium-weight jumper.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof properties?
Regular cleaning without fabric softeners helps. Periodically, you can re-apply a DWR finish to the outer fabric to ensure water beads and runs off effectively.
What does the breathability rating mean?
The breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs indicates that the jacket can allow approximately 5000 grams of water vapor to pass through each square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. This helps to reduce internal condensation during physical activity.
Does the hood offer full protection in windy conditions?
The grown-on, adjustable hood provides good protection against wind and rain. Adjusting the drawcords ensures a snug fit around the face, minimizing wind ingress.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can impair performance. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment (DWR) according to the product's instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.
Jacket feels clammy inside, even when not raining.
This may be due to internal condensation. Ensure the hood and cuffs are adjusted to allow for some ventilation. If possible, open the main zip slightly for better airflow during high activity.
Drawcord at hem is stuck or difficult to adjust.
Check the drawcord and its toggles for any obstructions or debris. Gently work the drawcord back and forth to free it up. Ensure the toggles are clean.
