Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket is straightforward:
- Adjust the Fit: Use the adjustable drawcord at the waist to cinch in the jacket for a more flattering fit and to help retain warmth.
- Hood Options: Decide whether to use the removable hood with faux fur trim based on weather conditions or personal style. The adjustable grown-on hood can be cinched for maximum protection in wind or rain.
- Layering: For colder conditions, wear appropriate base and mid-layers underneath to maximize the jacket's warmth. The jacket's design allows for comfortable layering without feeling overly bulky.
Compatibility
This parka jacket is designed to be highly compatible with various weather conditions and outfits:
- Weather: Suitable for cold, windy, rainy, and damp conditions. Its waterproof and windproof features make it a reliable outer layer.
- Layering: Easily accommodates sweaters, fleeces, and thermal tops underneath for increased warmth in colder climates.
- Style: Its classic parka design with faux fur trim makes it suitable for both casual everyday wear and more adventurous outdoor excursions.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance and extend its lifespan.
- Cleaning: Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed washing instructions. Generally, for waterproof and breathable garments:
- Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Use a technical wash designed for waterproof clothing; avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can impair the fabric's performance.
- Wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally, away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying is generally not recommended unless specified on the care label, and even then, often on a low heat setting to reactivate any Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the jacket's DWR finish may wear off. Info needed: Specific recommendations for re-waterproofing treatments should be checked with the manufacturer. Typically, a spray-on or wash-in DWR product can be applied to restore water repellency.
