Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket requires no special setup. Simply put it on and adjust the hood and cuffs for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed to be compatible with a range of casual and outdoor outfits. Its versatile style pairs well with jeans, leggings, or hiking trousers. Layering underneath with appropriate base and mid-layers (e.g., thermal tops, fleeces) will enhance its thermal performance in colder climates. Ensure inner layers are not excessively bulky to maintain comfort and mobility.
Care Instructions:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your waterproof parka, follow these general care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof clothing. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or air dry away from direct heat. Tumble drying on low can help reactivate the DWR coating. Check the jacket's internal care label for specific instructions.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the waterproof material.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR coating may wear off, causing the outer fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water) even if the internal membrane is still waterproof. You can restore water repellency using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof garments.
