Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket - Grey - 12

Yes, with a waterproof rating of 3000mm and taped seams, the Trespass Faithful Parka is designed to keep you dry in moderate to heavy rain. For extreme, prolonged downpours, no fabric is 100% impenetrable, but it offers excellent protection for typical outdoor conditions.

The product description indicates an 'Adjustable Grown on Hood,' which means the hood is fixed (non-removable). However, the 'Furry Hood Trim' is removable, allowing you to customize the look and feel.

To maintain waterproofing, always follow the care label instructions for washing, using appropriate technical washes. Regularly check if water still beads off the fabric; if not, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when necessary. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR finish.

Yes, with its padding and furry fleece lining, the jacket provides significant warmth. For very cold winter temperatures, we recommend pairing it with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers to create an effective insulation system tailored to your activity level.

3000mvp (Moisture Vapour Permeability) indicates that the fabric allows 3000 grams of moisture vapor per square meter to pass through in 24 hours. This means the jacket is capable of releasing internal perspiration, helping to keep you comfortable and reduce clamminess during light to moderate activity.

As a padded parka with a fleece lining, it will have a more substantial feel and weight compared to a lightweight shell jacket. This extra weight contributes to its warmth and durability, making it suitable for colder weather conditions.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or re-applied. After washing, try tumble drying on low heat for a short period to reactivate DWR. If this doesn't work, purchase a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel and follow its instructions.

This could indicate that you are overdressed underneath the jacket or that the jacket's breathability is being inhibited. Adjust your layering system to lighter options, especially if you're engaging in high-intensity activities. Ensure any inner layers are also breathable to allow moisture to wick away effectively.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. The parka provides insulation, but in very cold conditions, an effective layering system (base layer, mid-layer, then the parka) is essential. Check that the drawcord at the waist and the hood are adjusted snugly to trap warm air.

Regularly clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water. For persistent issues, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or silicone spray) to the teeth and slider. Avoid forcing the zipper.
