FAQs
Is the fur trim on the hood real or faux?
The product description indicates a 'Removable Hood Fur Trim', but does not specify if it's real or faux. Info needed: Clarification on fur trim material from the manufacturer.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
This parka is ideal for general outdoor activities such as daily commutes, dog walking, light hiking, and attending outdoor events in wet, windy, or cold conditions. Its warmth and protection make it versatile for autumn and winter.
How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts for a long time?
Regular cleaning with technical wash products designed for waterproof garments and periodic re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the jacket's waterproof performance over time. Always follow care instructions.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash this jacket. Always machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, use a technical wash for waterproof garments, and avoid fabric softeners. Refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
With its padded furry fleece lining and windproof design, the jacket offers good warmth. For very cold, snowy conditions, it performs best when combined with effective layering underneath for optimal thermal insulation.
How do I choose the correct size for this parka?
Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. As this is a parka designed to accommodate layers, consider your typical size, but if you plan to wear very bulky items underneath, you might consider sizing up. Info needed: Link to size guide or specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time or water is soaking in.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off. Clean the jacket with a technical wash and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in product according to the product instructions. Ensure seams are not damaged.
Feeling too warm or clammy inside the jacket, despite its breathability.
While breathable, effective layering is key for comfort. Consider reducing your base or mid-layers if you're engaging in higher-intensity activities. Ensure any internal vents or pockets are appropriately managed to aid airflow.
The hood keeps falling down or doesn't provide a snug fit.
Utilize the adjustable drawcords on the grown-on hood. Cinch them firmly but comfortably around your head to achieve a secure fit that stays in place even in windy conditions.
Zipper is stiff, difficult to operate, or snags frequently.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a specialized zipper lubricant or wax designed for outdoor gear to ensure smooth operation. Check that no fabric is caught in the mechanism.

Setup
Using your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket is straightforward. Simply put on the jacket and adjust the features to your comfort:
- Hood Adjustment: Utilize the drawcords on the grown-on hood to achieve a snug and secure fit around your head, protecting you from wind and rain.
- Waist Adjustment: Pull the drawcord at the waist to cinch the jacket, providing a more tailored silhouette and helping to seal out drafts for added warmth.
- Fur Trim: The fur trim on the hood is removable, allowing you to customize the look or remove it for washing.
Compatibility
This parka is designed for layering. Its generous cut allows for comfortable wear over various base and mid-layers, such as fleeces or insulated tops, making it highly adaptable to different temperatures. It pairs well with outdoor trousers and waterproof boots for full weather protection.
Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your waterproof jacket:
- Preparation: Before washing, ensure all zippers, fasteners, and drawcords are closed and secure. Remove the fur trim if applicable.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof and breathable garments, as conventional detergents can impair the jacket's waterproof and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) properties.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. If tumble drying, adding a few clean tennis balls can help fluff the padded lining.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish will wear off. Periodically re-treat the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product to restore its water-repellency. Always follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
