Trespass Kristen Hooded Softshell Jacket - Grey - 8

The Trespass Kristen jacket is rated waterproof at 8000mm, meaning it offers significant water resistance and will keep you dry in light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a full hardshell rain jacket might offer superior protection.

3000mvp (moisture vapor permeability) indicates the fabric's ability to allow 3,000 grams of water vapor to pass through a square meter in 24 hours. This means the jacket is breathable, helping to keep you comfortable by allowing perspiration to escape.

This softshell jacket provides good windproof and water-resistant protection with some warmth from its bonded fur back. For colder winter conditions, it's best used as part of a layering system, with warm base and mid-layers underneath.

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical wash or mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

The main fabric of the jacket is waterproof, and the pockets have zips, which offer good protection. However, like most zippered pockets, they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, so avoid storing highly sensitive electronics in heavy rain.

A 'grown-on hood' means the hood is integrated into the jacket's design and cannot be detached. This often provides a more seamless fit and better weather protection compared to detachable hoods.

The Trespass Kristen Hooded Softshell Jacket is made from Polyester.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Wash the jacket using a DWR-restoring cleaner and/or apply a DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.

Ensure you are using a technical wash and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the membrane. Also, make sure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your body.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Apply a zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth to improve movement.

Softshells are designed for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, ensure you are layering appropriately underneath with a suitable base layer and a warm mid-layer (e.g., fleece) to trap heat effectively.
