FAQs
What does 'packaway' mean?
A packaway jacket is designed to be easily folded or rolled into a small, compact pouch, making it convenient to carry in a bag or pocket for unexpected weather.
How do I know if the jacket is the right size?
This jacket has a relaxed fit. We recommend checking the size chart provided by Trespass and considering if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when choosing your size.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
With a 5000mm waterproof rating, this jacket is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme downpours or prolonged exposure, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
How should I dry the jacket?
It is best to air dry the jacket by hanging it up. Alternatively, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron.
What is the benefit of the ventilated back yoke?
The ventilated back yoke improves airflow, helping to release heat and moisture from your back. This enhances breathability and keeps you more comfortable during physical activity.
Does the jacket have taped seams?
Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which means the stitching is covered with a waterproof tape to prevent water from leaking through the needle holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone spray designed for zippers.
Hood adjustment cord is loose.
Check the cord lock mechanism. If damaged, it may need replacement. Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the eyelets.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry.
This can occur if the breathability is overwhelmed. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog the membrane. Open vents if available and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
