FAQs
How waterproof is the Trespass Kristen jacket?
The jacket boasts a waterproof rating of 8000mm, which means it can withstand 8,000 millimeters of water pressure before water penetrates the fabric. This provides excellent protection against rain and wet conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?
The Kristen jacket is designed with windproof protection and a bonded fur back for warmth, making it suitable for cool and mild winter conditions. For very cold temperatures, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal base and mid-layers for optimal insulation.
Can I remove the hood?
No, the Trespass Kristen jacket features an 'adjustable grown-on hood,' which means it is integrated into the jacket's design and cannot be detached.
How do I clean my softshell jacket?
Always refer to the care label inside your jacket. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a specialized technical detergent for outdoor performance wear. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's water-repellent and breathable properties. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat.
What does '3000mvp breathable' mean?
3000mvp stands for 3,000 Moisture Vapour Permeability. This rating indicates the amount of moisture vapour (perspiration) that can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. A 3000mvp rating means the jacket allows for good breathability, helping to keep you comfortable during active use by letting sweat escape.
What type of activities is this jacket best for?
This jacket is ideal for a wide range of outdoor leisure activities and sports, including hiking, walking, dog walking, camping, general outdoor use, and daily commutes. Its blend of protection, comfort, and flexibility makes it highly versatile.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less waterproof or 'wets out'
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the fabric's surface may need revitalizing. Wash the jacket using a specialized technical cleaner for outdoor gear, and then either tumble dry on low heat (if the care label permits) to reactivate the DWR, or apply a spray-on/wash-in DWR re-proofing treatment.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket during activity
While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activity might generate more moisture than the fabric can wick away. Try adjusting your layers underneath (e.g., switch to a more breathable base layer) or unzip slightly for increased ventilation if conditions allow.
Zipper is stiff or sticky
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant designed for outdoor gear to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Trespass Kristen Hooded Softshell Jacket is as simple as putting it on. No complex setup is required. For optimal comfort and protection:
- Adjust the Hood: Use the adjusters on the grown-on hood to cinch it snugly around your head, preventing wind and rain from entering and ensuring clear vision.
- Secure Cuffs: Ensure the cuffs are comfortably fitted to prevent drafts or water from running down your arms.
- Utilize Pockets: Make use of the two zippered pockets for secure storage of your essentials.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed to be highly compatible with various outdoor wardrobes and activities:
- Layering: It works perfectly as an outer layer over base layers (e.g., thermal tops) and mid-layers (e.g., fleece jackets) in colder weather to provide enhanced warmth without bulk.
- Activities: Suitable for hiking, walking, camping, dog walking, commuting, and general outdoor leisure activities.
- Weather Conditions: Ideal for cool, windy, and wet conditions where breathability and protection are key.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket, especially its waterproof and breathable properties. Always check the garment label for specific instructions, but general guidelines for softshell jackets are:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating and clog the membrane.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric and coatings. Do not iron.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, you may need to re-treat the jacket with a spray-on or wash-in DWR product designed for outdoor gear.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
