Product Information

Full details

This Trespass Mitchie Fleece Jacket in Blue (Size S) is designed for adult males seeking a warm, lightweight, and durable mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual wear. Its key benefit is providing excellent warmth without bulk, thanks to its 190gsm microfleece fabric. A minor caveat is that while it's resistant to pilling, it's not entirely waterproof, so it's best used as a layer in mixed conditions.

FAQs

What is microfleece and why is it used?

Microfleece is a synthetic fabric made from polyester. It's known for being lightweight, soft, warm, and breathable. It's used in this jacket to provide insulation without adding bulk, making it comfortable for layering.

How does the anti-pilling feature work?

The fabric is treated during manufacturing to prevent the formation of small fabric balls (pills) on the surface, which can make garments look worn. This ensures the jacket maintains its smooth appearance over time and with regular washing.

Can this jacket be worn as a standalone outer layer?

This jacket is primarily designed as a mid-layer for warmth. While it can be worn on its own in dry, cool conditions, it is not waterproof and offers minimal protection against wind and rain, making it best paired with an outer shell in adverse weather.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

It's ideal for hiking, camping, casual outdoor activities, or simply as a comfortable layer for everyday wear during cooler seasons. Its breathability makes it suitable for moderate physical exertion.

Are the side pockets zipped?

The product description explicitly mentions a 'Zip pocket on the chest' and '2 side pockets'. While the chest pocket is confirmed as zipped, the side pockets are described without specifying a zipper. It is common for such fleece jackets to have open side pockets for easy access.

What is the fabric weight?

The fabric weight is 190gsm (grams per square meter), which is a standard weight for microfleece, offering a good balance of warmth and lightness.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific guide is for the Blue - S size. The Trespass Mitchie Fleece Jacket is available in various sizes and colors, including Grey Marl, across different listings.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a looser fit, especially if layering thicker items underneath.

Fabric appears to be pilling after washing.

While the jacket is anti-pilling, some minor pilling can occur with rough friction. Check for abrasive items in the wash and ensure proper care instructions are followed. Gentle washing and air drying minimize this risk.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can help smooth the movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.
  • Durable and resistant to pilling for long-lasting wear.
  • Versatile for layering in various weather conditions.
  • Secure chest pocket for essential items.
  • Comfortable and non-restrictive fit due to elasticated cuffs and hem.

Cons

  • Not waterproof; offers limited protection in heavy rain.
  • Best used as a mid-layer rather than an outer shell in harsh weather.
  • Only two external pockets (one chest zip, two side pockets not specified if zipped).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment; no assembly or setup is required. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: As a fleece jacket, it is designed to be worn by adults, particularly men, and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities and casual wear. It pairs well with base layers, t-shirts, and outer shells for varied weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours.
  • Use cold water (30°C or 40°C recommended).
  • Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's properties.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry for best results and to maintain the fabric's integrity.
  • Do not iron the fleece, as high heat can damage the material.
