Trespass Kristen Softshell Jacket - Grey - 8

The product description does not state if the hood is removable. It is integrated for consistent protection against the elements.

"8000mm" refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning a column of water 8000mm high can be placed on the fabric before water begins to seep through. This provides good resistance for moderate rain and snow.

"3000mvp" stands for 3000 grams per square meter per 24 hours (Moisture Vapor Permeability). This indicates how much water vapor (perspiration) can pass through the fabric, helping you stay comfortable and dry from the inside.

The Trespass Kristen jacket offers windproof and waterproof protection, along with a fur-bonded back for added warmth. For true winter conditions, especially sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over appropriate thermal base and mid-layers for sufficient insulation.

It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Softshell jackets are typically designed to be worn over light layers, so consider your usual sizing for outer garments.

While breathable, this jacket is best suited for light to moderate outdoor activities like walking, hiking, and general outdoor use. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer specialized activewear with even higher breathability ratings and more stretch.

If water stops beading on the surface, you can restore its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.

Ensure zippers are fully closed. Check if the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs reapplication; over time, DWR can wear off, affecting surface water bead-off.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

This softshell is designed for protection against elements and some warmth, but it's not a heavy insulation layer. For colder temperatures, layer appropriately with a warm mid-layer underneath (e.g., a fleece or down vest).
