FAQs
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before leaking. This is considered good protection for moderate rain.
What does 5000mvp breathability mean?
MVP stands for 'Moisture Vapor Transmission'. A 5000mvp rating indicates that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in 24 hours. This is a moderate level of breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing like fleece or down.
How do I pack the jacket into its pouch?
The jacket usually has an internal pocket or a designated pouch area. Fold the jacket neatly and tuck it into this pouch, zipping it closed if applicable.
Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity sports?
While it offers some breathability, it is best suited for moderate activities. For very high-intensity sports where significant sweat is produced, a jacket with a higher MVP rating might be more comfortable.
What colors are available?
The Trespass Qikpac jacket is available in colors including Black, Red, Royal Blue, Green, Cerise, and Sky Blue.
What sizes does it come in?
The jacket is available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This could be due to insufficient breathability during high exertion. Ensure you are not overheating and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Allow the jacket to air out after use.
Water is leaking through seams
Check if the taped seams are intact. If they appear damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Ensure the jacket is cleaned and dried properly as per care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper area is clean from dirt or debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if necessary.
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof after washing
Fabric softeners or harsh detergents can degrade the PU coating. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. For older jackets, consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for PU-coated fabrics.
