The Trespass Daytrip jacket is ready to wear straight out of the package. Simply put it on and adjust the hood and elasticated cuffs for a comfortable fit. For optimal weather protection, ensure the main two-way zipper is fully closed. This jacket is designed to be compatible with various layering systems; wear it over a base layer and a mid-layer (like a fleece) for warmth in colder temperatures, or directly over a t-shirt in milder, rainy conditions. To maintain the jacket's waterproof and windproof properties, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof garments, or a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh powdered detergents, as these can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the PVC coating and taped seams.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Re-proofing (Optional): Over time, the outer fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may diminish. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
