Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket - Black - 10

A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand a 5000mm column of water over a 1-inch square before water starts to seep through. This indicates good protection against moderate rain and snow.

5000mvp (Moisture Vapour Permeability) indicates how much moisture vapor can pass through the fabric in 24 hours. A 5000mvp rating means the jacket is capable of allowing 5000 grams of moisture vapor per square meter to escape, providing good comfort during light to moderate activity.

The description states it features an 'adjustable packaway hood,' which means it can be rolled up and stored within the collar, but it is not designed to be fully detached from the jacket.

The Trespass Tilbury is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket, not insulated for warmth. For cold weather, you should wear appropriate insulating layers (like a fleece or thermal top) underneath to stay warm.

This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, camping, cycling, commuting, and general outdoor use where protection from rain and wind is needed.

Regular cleaning with a technical cleaner and occasional re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is essential. Avoid using conventional detergents and fabric softeners, as they can damage the jacket's waterproof properties.

This usually means the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Check your layering. Wearing cotton directly underneath can trap moisture. Opt for wicking base layers made of synthetic or merino wool materials. Also, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Adjust your activity level if you are overheating.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. If the problem persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) specifically designed for outdoor gear.
