Trespass Waterproof Jacket Daytrip - Blue - 16

No, the Trespass Daytrip jacket is a lightweight waterproof shell designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. It does not offer significant insulation for extreme cold. For colder conditions, we recommend layering it over warmer garments like fleeces or insulated jackets.

'Taped seams' means that a waterproof tape has been applied over the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. Stitching creates tiny holes in the fabric, which can allow water to leak through. Taping these seams seals them completely, making the jacket truly waterproof.

Yes, but you must follow the care instructions on the garment label carefully. Generally, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialized technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents and fabric softeners as they can impair the jacket's waterproof properties.

The jacket features a 'grown on hood' with elastication, which provides a close and protective fit. While it doesn't have a separate drawstring for adjustment, the elastic ensures it stays secure against your head in windy conditions. The back hem ties allow you to adjust the overall fit of the jacket.

A longer parka length provides extended coverage over your hips and upper thighs. This offers additional protection from rain and wind, especially when sitting down or during blustery weather, helping to keep more of your body dry and warm.

The two zip pockets are designed for secure storage and to keep contents dry under normal rainy conditions. However, for highly sensitive electronics or valuables in heavy downpours, it's always recommended to use an additional waterproof pouch inside the pockets for maximum protection.

First, check if the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off; if water soaks in rather than beads, you may need to re-apply a reproofing treatment. Also, inspect for any small tears or damage to the fabric or taped seams. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

This is often caused by condensation, not water leaking in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath to wick away moisture from your body. In high-humidity or strenuous activity, even breathable waterproof jackets can experience some internal condensation. Consider taking breaks to allow moisture to dissipate.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. You can also apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., a zipper wax stick or even rubbing a pencil lead over the teeth) to help it slide more smoothly.

Ensure you have correctly adjusted the back hem ties. If the jacket still doesn't fit comfortably, it might be the wrong size. Refer to the size chart or consider trying a different size for optimal comfort and performance.
