FAQs
Is the hood removable?
While the description highlights a 'Removable Hood Fur Trim', it implies the faux fur trim is removable, rather than the entire hood. For clarity: Info needed: Confirm if the entire hood is removable or just the faux fur trim.
How does the 'Tres-Shield Fabric' contribute to the jacket's performance?
Tres-Shield fabric is specifically designed for high durability and resilience. It forms a robust outer layer that contributes significantly to the jacket's windproof and waterproof properties, ensuring it can withstand harsh outdoor conditions while maintaining performance.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy snow?
Yes, with its 5000mm waterproof rating, windproof design, and light padding, the Trespass Clea Parka is well-suited for heavy snow conditions. Its longer length provides additional coverage and warmth.
How do I maintain the waterproof quality?
Regular cleaning with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments and periodic reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment (available as a spray or wash-in product) will help maintain the jacket's waterproof performance over time.
What is the fit like for a UK 8?
The jacket is designed for a women's UK 8. Trespass typically offers a regular fit to allow for layering. The adjustable drawcords also allow you to cinch the waist and hem for a more customized and flattering silhouette.
Are there internal pockets for secure storage?
Info needed: Confirm presence and type of internal pockets. The product description explicitly mentions '2 Patch Pockets with Flaps' on the exterior. While many parkas include internal pockets, this detail is not specified.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.
First, ensure all zippers are fully closed and drawcords are tightened. If the issue persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating might need reapplication. Wash the jacket following care instructions and then apply a DWR restoration product. Check if the taped seams are intact; if not, professional repair might be needed.
Jacket doesn't feel as warm as expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath the jacket for the given temperature. The jacket provides insulation, but extreme cold may require additional thermal base layers and mid-layers. Verify the padding isn't clumped; if it is, a gentle tumble dry with tennis balls can help redistribute it.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. If it continues to stick, apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) along the teeth and pull tab. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Faux fur trim looks matted or tangled.
Gently comb the faux fur trim with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to restore its fluffiness. If it's removable, you can detach it and gently hand wash it with mild soap, then air dry and comb once dry.
Odor develops in the jacket.
An odor usually indicates a need for cleaning. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, paying special attention to using appropriate detergents that won't compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before storing.

Care
Maintaining your Trespass Clea Parka will ensure its longevity and performance. Proper care is crucial for waterproof and padded garments.
- Washing:
- Info needed: Specific washing temperature and cycle.
- Generally, fasten all zippers and closures before washing.
- Wash separately or with similar colors.
- Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof outerwear, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Wash on a gentle cycle.
- Drying:
- Info needed: Specific drying temperature and method.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry by hanging the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Adding a few clean tennis balls to the dryer can help fluff the padding and prevent clumping.
- Water Repellency Restoration: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the fabric's exterior may wear off. You can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the padding.
