Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket - Blue - 8

With a 3000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, the Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket offers reliable protection against moderate rain and sustained drizzle. For extremely heavy, prolonged downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating (e.g., 5000mm+) might offer even greater assurance, but this jacket performs very well for most wet weather conditions.

Yes, the furry trim on the hood is designed to be removable, allowing you to customize the jacket's appearance and adapt it to different conditions or personal preferences. The hood itself, however, is 'grown-on' (integrated) and not detachable.

Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for waterproof and breathable jackets, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid regular detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR coating.

Yes, the Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket is padded and features a comfortable furry fleece lining, providing ample warmth for typical autumn and winter temperatures. For very cold or sub-zero conditions, it's advisable to layer appropriately underneath to maximize your comfort.

'3000mvp' stands for 3000 grams per square meter per 24 hours (Moisture Vapour Permeability). This rating indicates how much water vapor can pass through the fabric. A 3000mvp rating means the jacket allows 3,000 grams of sweat to escape per square meter over a 24-hour period, helping you stay dry and comfortable by preventing internal condensation and clamminess during activity.

The Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket for UK size 8 is designed for an adult female. Parkas typically offer a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit to allow for layering underneath. It should provide enough room for movement without being overly baggy, consistent with standard UK sizing for outerwear.

Only the fur trim on the hood is removable. The main hood structure is 'grown-on,' meaning it's an integrated part of the jacket and cannot be detached. However, the hood is adjustable to provide a customized fit and protection.

First, check that all zippers are fully closed. Often, internal wetness is due to condensation from sweat, not leakage. Ensure you are not overdressed, allowing the jacket's breathability (3000mvp) to work. If water isn't beading on the exterior, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need re-activating or re-applying. Wash the jacket following care instructions and tumble dry on low, or apply a DWR spray.

This can happen if you're wearing too many layers underneath or if the activity level is very high. Try reducing your internal layers. The 3000mvp breathability helps, but in some situations, partially unzipping the jacket can help regulate temperature and improve airflow.

Gently comb the fur trim to remove loose fibers and restore its fluffiness. If it becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally without direct heat. Avoid machine washing the fur trim; spot clean only if necessary, or refer to specific care instructions for the trim if provided.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the jacket's exterior can wear off or become contaminated, reducing its effectiveness. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner as per care instructions. Often, a gentle tumble dry on low heat can reactivate the existing DWR. If not, consider applying a new DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
