FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Trespass Tilbury is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not provide significant insulation, so for very cold weather, you would need to wear appropriate thermal layers underneath.
What does 'Waterproof 5000mm' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand a 5-meter (5000mm) column of water before it starts to leak. This indicates good protection against light to moderate rain and snow.
How do I know what size to buy?
The jacket is available in standard UK women's dress sizes. We recommend consulting the brand's specific size chart (if available) and considering what layers you plan to wear underneath. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for comfort with layers.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is typically safe to machine wash. Always follow the care label instructions, but generally, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialist technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What are 'taped seams'?
Taped seams mean that the stitching on the inside of the jacket, where water could potentially seep through needle holes, has been sealed with a waterproof tape. This is crucial for ensuring the jacket's overall waterproof integrity.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, with a 5000mvp (Moisture Vapour Permeability) rating, the jacket is designed to allow perspiration to escape, helping to keep you comfortable and prevent clamminess during physical activity.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods if possible, as this can affect the DWR coating.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to condensation or a compromised DWR. Ensure you're not overheating (check breathability of inner layers). If water is soaking into the outer fabric, clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment. Also, check that all zippers are fully closed.
Water seems to be entering through the main front zip.
While the front zip is water-resistant, it's not fully watertight like a sealed storm flap. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the inner storm flap is properly positioned. For very heavy, sustained rain, even water-resistant zips can eventually let a tiny amount of moisture through.
Hood keeps falling down or doesn't offer enough protection.
Utilize the adjustable features of the hood. Tighten any drawcords around the face opening and the rear of the hood to create a snugger fit that moves with your head and blocks more elements. Ensure the hood is fully deployed from its packaway position.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Over time, the fabric will soften with wear. Check that adjustable hems and cuffs are not overtightened, which can restrict movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Your Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket requires minimal 'setup.' Upon first wear, adjust the hood, hem drawcord, and cuffs to achieve your desired fit. Ensure all zippers, especially the front zip, are fully closed when heading out in wet conditions.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed for adult females and is made from polyester. It's intended to be worn as an outer shell, so consider layering appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for warmth, depending on the temperature. Available in various UK dress sizes (e.g., 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) and colors (Blue, Black, Pink).
Care Instructions:
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties and extend its lifespan. Always check the specific care label inside your jacket, but general guidelines for polyester waterproof jackets include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool or lukewarm water (typically 30°C/86°F). Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can clog the fabric's pores and damage the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
- Water Repellency (DWR): Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the jacket's exterior may wear off, causing water to "wet out" the fabric rather than bead up. If this happens, you can restore the DWR by applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear (available from outdoor retailers).
