FAQs
Is the Trespass Clea Parka Jacket suitable for heavy winter snow?
While the jacket is waterproof and windproof with light padding, for heavy winter snow and very cold temperatures, we recommend layering effectively underneath with suitable thermal base and mid-layers to provide adequate warmth.
What does '5000mm waterproof' mean?
A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5,000mm column of water before water starts to penetrate. This is considered good protection for light to moderate rain and snow.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is typically machine washable. However, it's crucial to use a cold, gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash for waterproof garments and avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach to protect the waterproof membrane. Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket. > Info needed: Specific washing instructions from the product's care label should always be followed.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features adjustable drawcords, typically located on the hood, allowing you to tighten or loosen it for a snug fit that keeps out wind and rain.
What is Tres-Shield fabric?
Tres-Shield is a durable and resilient fabric developed by Trespass, designed to offer reliable protection against the elements, making the jacket hard-wearing and long-lasting in outdoor conditions.
Does this jacket have internal pockets?
> Info needed: Information regarding internal pocket configuration is not provided in the product description. Please refer to product images or specifications for pocket details.
Is this jacket breathable?
The jacket features a high-performance TPU membrane which contributes to its weatherproof protection while also allowing for some breathability, helping to manage moisture and prevent clamminess during use.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be seeping through the jacket.
First, check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still active by sprinkling water on the fabric; it should bead up. If not, consider washing the jacket with a technical cleaner and then applying a DWR re-proofing product. Also, inspect for any physical damage or tears that might compromise waterproofing. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold weather.
The Clea Parka is 'lightly padded.' For colder conditions, ensure you are layering appropriately underneath with a suitable base layer and a warm mid-layer (e.g., fleece). The jacket is designed to protect from wind and rain, while insulation typically comes from inner layers.
Zipper is stiff or snagging.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently free it. If the zipper is stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or silicone-based lubricant) to the teeth. Ensure the zipper is aligned properly before attempting to pull it up or down.
Jacket has an unpleasant odor.
This can occur from sweat buildup. Wash the jacket following the care instructions, using a technical cleaner designed for outdoor gear. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing. Airing the jacket out after each use can also help prevent odors.
Drawcords are difficult to adjust or secure.
Inspect the cord locks for any debris or damage. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the lock. If they remain stiff, gently work them back and forth a few times. If a cord lock is broken, contact customer support for possible replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Trespass Clea Parka Jacket is ready to wear immediately. To optimize fit and comfort:
- Adjust Drawcords: Use the drawcords, typically found at the hood and waist, to tighten or loosen the fit. This helps to seal out wind and rain and customize the silhouette.
- Zipper Operation: Ensure the main zipper is fully engaged at the bottom before pulling it up to prevent snags. The high collar offers additional protection when fully zipped.
Compatibility
This parka is designed to be versatile and compatible with various layering systems and outdoor gear:
- Layering: Wear over base layers (e.g., thermal tops) and mid-layers (e.g., fleeces, sweaters) for increased warmth in colder conditions.
- Accessories: Pairs well with waterproof trousers, hats, gloves, and scarves for complete head-to-toe protection.
- Activity Level: Suitable for low to moderate activity levels. For high-exertion activities where breathability is paramount, consider specialized activewear.
Product Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's waterproof and windproof properties and extend its lifespan. The jacket is made from Polyester.
> Info needed: Specific washing instructions from the product's care label should always be followed. General care for waterproof polyester jackets is provided below.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach as these can degrade the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang to air dry completely. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane. If tumble drying, a short period of low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat will damage the TPU membrane and waterproof coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
