FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Trespass Kristen Hooded Waterproof Jacket features a TPU membrane designed to provide effective waterproofing against rain. For extremely prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours, layering is always recommended.
How do I maintain the waterproof quality?
To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads off the surface.
Is the hood removable?
The description specifies an 'adjustable grown-on hood,' which means it is integrated into the jacket and not designed to be detached.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The jacket includes 'two zipped pockets' for secure storage. While they offer protection from splashes and light rain, for highly sensitive electronics in heavy downpours, it's always best to use an additional waterproof pouch inside the pockets.
What activities is this jacket best for?
This jacket is ideal for various outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, dog walking, camping, and general everyday use where reliable protection from wind and rain is desired, especially in cooler conditions due to its fake fur back.
What is a TPU membrane?
A TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) membrane is a thin layer applied to fabric that makes it waterproof and breathable. It prevents water droplets from entering while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How does the chin guard benefit me?
The chin guard is a piece of fabric that covers the top of the zipper when fully fastened, preventing it from rubbing against your chin or neck. It enhances comfort and provides extra warmth and protection against wind.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels wet inside or is not repelling water.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can block the waterproof membrane. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Check pockets are fully zipped.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray) to ease movement. Avoid forcing stiff zippers.

Setup: This jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust the hood and cuffs for a comfortable fit. Compatibility: Designed for adults and ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and general day-to-day wear in changeable weather. It pairs well with layers underneath for varying temperatures. Care: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof garments. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the TPU membrane and waterproofing. 2. Drying: Hang to dry away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying unless specifically instructed by care label, as high heat can compromise the waterproofing. 3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. 4. Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. Consider re-applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to maintain optimal water repellency.
