Full details
The Trespass Qikpac Waterproof Packaway Jacket is designed for men seeking reliable, lightweight protection against the elements. Its key benefit is its exceptional packability, allowing it to be easily stored and carried.

FAQs
What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?
Packable means the jacket can be folded or compressed into a small, integrated pouch (often part of the jacket itself), making it very easy to store in a backpack, glove compartment, or even a large pocket.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, which is suitable for moderate rain. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach. It's best to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000mvp (moisture vapor permeability), which allows a moderate amount of moisture vapor to escape, helping to keep you comfortable during activity.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket's shell is made from 100% Polyamide with a Polyurethane (PU) coating.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, you would need to layer it over insulating clothing such as a fleece or insulated jacket.
Does this jacket have a hood?
Based on the description, the jacket is designed to be packable and lightweight, often including a stowaway hood. Please refer to the product packaging or specific product details for confirmation on hood features.
What sizes are available?
The Qikpac jacket is available in a range of sizes from XS to XXL (and XXXL in some colors).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR spray according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This could be due to insufficient breathability or trapped moisture. Ensure the jacket is not packed when damp. For strenuous activity, consider a base layer that wicks moisture effectively.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of wax or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pouch
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and laid out flat before attempting to fold and pack it. Remove as much air as possible from the jacket before placing it in the pouch.
