FAQs
What does '5000mm waterproof' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand a 5000-millimeter column of water over a 1-inch square before water begins to seep through. This indicates good protection against moderate to heavy rain and snow.
How do I clean my Trespass Tilbury Jacket?
Always refer to the care label, but generally, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents, as they can damage the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties. Air dry.
Is this jacket suitable for winter conditions?
The Tilbury Jacket is windproof and waterproof, offering excellent protection from rain and wind. However, it is not insulated. For winter conditions, you would need to wear appropriate warm layers underneath to provide thermal insulation.
Can the hood be detached?
No, the hood is designed as a 'packaway' hood, meaning it can be neatly rolled up and stored within the jacket's collar, but it cannot be fully detached from the jacket.
What are 'Taped Seams' and why are they important?
Taped seams mean that all the stitching lines on the jacket's interior have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This is crucial because needle holes from stitching can create tiny openings for water. Taped seams ensure these areas remain completely waterproof.
How do I reactivate the water repellency if water starts soaking in?
If water is no longer beading off the fabric, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs to be reactivated or reapplied. First, try washing the jacket as per care instructions. If that doesn't work, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions carefully.
What material is the jacket made from?
The Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket is made from Polyester, providing durability and supporting its waterproof and breathable properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem fully waterproof anymore; water is soaking in.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric might be worn out. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then re-treat it with a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product according to the product instructions. Ensure all zips are fully closed when wearing.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket despite 'breathable' rating.
Ensure you are using appropriate layers underneath. Avoid cotton, which holds moisture. Opt for synthetic or merino wool base layers that wick moisture away. Also, check that the adjustable cuffs and hem are not sealed too tightly, as this can restrict airflow and breathability.
Front zip feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the zip is clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently try to lubricate the zip teeth with a silicone-based zip lubricant or a graphite pencil. Avoid forcing the zip, as this can cause damage to the water-resistant coating.
Packaway hood doesn't stay neatly tucked away or causes bulk.
Ensure the hood is folded correctly and smoothly before attempting to pack it away. Overstuffing or uneven folding can prevent it from staying secure. Practice packing it a few times to find the best method for your jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Trespass Tilbury Jacket requires minimal 'setup'. Upon wearing, utilize the adjustable features to achieve your ideal fit and maximum protection:
- Hood Adjustment: If deploying the packaway hood, adjust the drawcords around the face opening and potentially at the back of the head (if present) for a snug fit that doesn't obstruct your vision. When not needed, carefully fold and secure it into its designated packaway pocket.
- Hem Adjustment: Use the hem drawcords at the bottom of the jacket to tighten or loosen the fit, helping to trap warmth and prevent wind or rain from entering from below.
- Cuff Adjustment: Secure the adjustable cuffs around your wrists using the provided fasteners (e.g., Velcro tabs) to create a seal, preventing water from running down your arms or wind from entering.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult females and is available in various UK dress sizes (e.g., size 10, 18, 6, 12, 16, 14) and colors (Red, Blue, Black, Pink). It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including walking, hiking, commuting, and general casual wear in wet or windy conditions.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket:
- Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket first. Generally, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid biological detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry your jacket away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low heat might be recommended by some manufacturers to reactivate the DWR, but always refer to the specific care label.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR coating on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' (soak in) rather than bead off. When this happens, re-treat the jacket with a wash-in or spray-on DWR product designed for waterproof garments. This will restore its water repellency and breathability.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
