Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket - Black - 14

The '5000mm waterproof' rating indicates the jacket's resistance to water pressure. It means the fabric can withstand a 5,000mm tall column of water for 24 hours before water begins to penetrate, offering good protection against typical rain and wet conditions.

The Trespass Tilbury is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket, designed to protect you from rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, you would need to wear appropriate insulating layers (like a fleece or thermal top) underneath for warmth.

Machine wash cold (around 30°C) on a gentle cycle, using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof garments. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or standard detergents, as these can damage the jacket's waterproof and breathable membrane. Hang dry, avoiding direct heat.

No, the hood is an adjustable *packaway* hood. This means it can be neatly rolled up and stored within the collar of the jacket when not in use, providing a cleaner look and preventing it from flapping in the wind, but it cannot be fully removed.

The jacket features 'secure zip pockets' and a 'water-resistant front zip'. While highly resistant to water, especially in light to moderate rain, it's always advisable to place highly sensitive electronics or valuables in an additional dry bag or waterproof pouch if you anticipate very heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to water.

The Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket is generally constructed from Polyester. This material is chosen for its durability, lightweight properties, and effectiveness in supporting waterproof and breathable membranes.

An inner storm flap is a protective strip of fabric located behind the main front zipper. Its purpose is to create an additional barrier against wind and rain, preventing them from penetrating through the zipper teeth and ensuring you stay drier and warmer.

First, ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Inspect the jacket for any visible tears or punctures. If the outer fabric is 'wetting out' (absorbing water instead of beading), the DWR finish may need reactivation or re-application. After washing as per care instructions, you can often reactivate DWR by carefully tumble drying on low heat (if permitted by the care label) or by applying a reproofing spray/wash-in treatment.

This is often due to condensation from body heat and sweat. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath the jacket. If you are overheating, open the main zipper slightly or adjust cuffs to improve ventilation. While the jacket is breathable (5000mvp), intense physical activity can sometimes overwhelm its ability to vent moisture, especially in humid conditions.

Check the zipper teeth for any trapped dirt, sand, or debris and carefully clean them. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of silicone spray to the teeth to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
