Trespass Daytrip Waterproof Jacket - Black

Yes, the Trespass Daytrip Jacket features a waterproof shell and taped seams, designed to protect you from rain and wind. While it handles heavy rain well, for prolonged exposure in extreme downpours, a full storm shell might be considered, but for most everyday and outdoor uses, it performs excellently.

The product description highlights its waterproof and windproof capabilities, which typically means a less breathable design compared to highly ventilated activewear. It is designed to keep external moisture out, making it suitable for moderate activity or layering.

This jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For winter use, it is highly recommended to layer it over warm clothing such as fleeces or thermal tops, as it does not provide significant insulation on its own.

We recommend referring to the official Trespass sizing chart, typically available on the product page or manufacturer's website. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up.

The jacket features a "Grown On Hood," meaning it's integrated into the jacket design. While it might have elastication for a snug fit, it does not typically have adjustable drawcords or toggles like some other hood types.

Taped seams refer to a process where a waterproof tape is heat-sealed over the seams of a garment. This prevents water from leaking through the tiny needle holes created during stitching, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof garments.

Ensure you used a mild, non-detergent soap designed for technical outerwear and avoided fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can clog the pores of waterproof membranes. If this persists, re-proofing the jacket may be necessary.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to the teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
