Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket arrives ready for use. Before wearing, adjust the drawcord at the waist to achieve your desired fit. The 'grown on hood' is integrated, but its fit can be adjusted using the toggles or straps to ensure it provides optimal protection without obstructing your vision. If desired, attach or remove the hood's fur trim using its integrated fastening mechanism.
Compatibility
This parka jacket is designed to be a versatile outer layer. It pairs well with various mid-layers like sweaters or lighter fleece jackets for added warmth in colder conditions. Its functional design makes it suitable for everyday casual wear, as well as for light hiking, dog walking, and other outdoor pursuits. Due to its padded nature, it's most compatible with cooler weather attire.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties. Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions. General guidelines include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and taped seams. Some waterproof jackets benefit from a short, low-heat tumble dry to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Maintenance: If the water starts to 'wet out' (soak into the fabric instead of beading up), consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for waterproof garments. Store in a dry, cool place.
