Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5-meter column of water before significant leakage occurs. This offers good protection against moderate rain.
What does 5000mvp breathability mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Permeability. A 5000mvp rating means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating a moderate level of breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Trespass sizing chart, which usually provides chest and height measurements. This jacket is available in sizes XS through XXL.
Is the hood adjustable?
While specific details may vary by production batch, packaway jackets often feature an elasticated or adjustable hood for a snug fit.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. For specific details, please check the product packaging or the Trespass official website.
Can I wash the jacket with regular laundry?
It is recommended to wash the jacket separately on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and to avoid fabric softeners and bleach to preserve its technical properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems to be leaking water.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the taped seams are intact. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the outer fabric is no longer beading water.
Jacket feels clammy inside, even when not raining.
This can be due to the breathability limits being reached during high exertion. Open the main zipper slightly or remove the jacket temporarily to air out. Ensure you are not overheating by layering appropriately.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pouch.
Ensure the jacket is as dry as possible and folded neatly before attempting to pack. Start by stuffing it loosely into the pouch, then work it in by hand.
