Product Information

Full details

The Trespass Bela II women's softshell jacket in Blue (Size L) is designed for active women seeking a versatile outerwear piece for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its comfortable and protective softshell material, offering a balance of warmth, breathability, and water resistance. A potential caveat is that while it offers some water resistance, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for light rain or damp conditions rather than heavy downpours. Key features include multiple zippered pockets for secure storage, an adjustable hem for a customized fit, and a chin guard for added comfort.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Bela II jacket is water-resistant due to its TPU membrane, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

What type of activities is this jacket best for?

It is ideal for moderate outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, casual cycling, and everyday wear in cooler or breezy conditions. It functions well as a mid-layer or a primary outer layer in mild weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide is for a Size L, and checking your chest, waist, and hip measurements against the chart will help ensure the best fit.

Can I wear a thick fleece underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layering. You can wear a base layer and a light to medium-weight fleece underneath for added warmth in colder temperatures.

What is the main benefit of a softshell jacket?

Softshell jackets offer a good balance of breathability, stretch, wind resistance, and water resistance, making them very comfortable and versatile for active use in varying conditions without being overly restrictive.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

Avoid fabric softeners and high heat during washing and drying. Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel to maintain its water-resistant properties.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant directly to the zipper teeth.

Reduced water repellency after washing

Follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider using a technical wash for outdoor clothing and re-apply a water-repellent treatment spray according to the product's instructions.

Jacket feels too tight or loose

Adjust the drawcord at the hem to tighten or loosen the fit around the waist. The flat cuff tabs can also be adjusted for a snugger fit around the wrists.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric

Be cautious around rough surfaces. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can be used carefully. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
