Trespass Clea Parka Jacket - Black - Size 8

A 5000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before leakage occurs. This is considered good protection for heavy rain and typical wet weather conditions.

The Trespass Clea Parka is 'lightly padded' and offers warmth, but for extreme sub-zero winter conditions, it is recommended to wear additional insulating layers underneath to ensure adequate warmth.

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical cleaner for waterproof garments (avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners). If water stops beading on the surface, you may need to re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment.

Yes, generally waterproof jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for precise washing temperature and instructions. (Info needed: specific washing temperature from care label).

Tres-Shield fabric is a proprietary material designed by Trespass to be highly durable and resilient, providing long-lasting performance and protection against the elements, particularly wind and water.

Yes, the jacket features adjustable drawcords, typically at the hood and/or hem, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out wind and rain more effectively.

The jacket is 'lightly padded.' For colder conditions, consider wearing additional thermal base layers and mid-layers underneath to boost insulation and trap more warmth.

First, check that all zippers are fully closed and any storm flaps are properly secured. Ensure drawcords are tightened to prevent water ingress. If water is seeping through the fabric itself, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need to be refreshed with a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.

This can sometimes happen if too much detergent is used or if fabric softener was applied (which should be avoided). Re-wash the jacket without detergent or with a technical cleaner, ensuring a thorough rinse cycle. Air dry completely.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or silicone spray) can often help them glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
