Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket - Red - 12

This rating indicates the amount of water pressure (in millimeters) the fabric can withstand before water penetrates. A 3000mm rating means the jacket can handle light to moderate rain and snow effectively, offering good protection for everyday wear and general outdoor activities.

Yes, the faux fur trim on the hood is designed to be removable. This allows for easier cleaning of the jacket and gives you the option to change the jacket's look.

The jacket is padded and features a furry fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, you may need to layer significantly underneath or consider a jacket with a higher insulation rating.

First, remove the faux fur trim. Close all zippers. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a specialized technical wash for waterproof clothing. Avoid using conventional detergents or fabric softeners, as they can damage the DWR finish and breathability. Air dry thoroughly.

A 'grown-on' hood means it is an integral part of the jacket's design and cannot be detached. However, this specific jacket's description states it has a 'removable fur trim' on the grown-on hood, meaning the hood itself stays, but the fur can be taken off.

As a padded parka with a fleece lining, it will offer substantial warmth and protection. While it is designed for comfort, it will naturally be more substantial and less lightweight than a thin shell jacket. Its parka style often means a slightly roomier fit for layering.

Taped seams are crucial for waterproofing. They involve sealing the tiny holes created by stitching during the jacket's construction. This prevents water from seeping through the seams, ensuring the jacket's waterproof integrity.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof fabrics. Ensure all taped seams are intact; if damaged, professional repair might be needed.

Check your layering system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for the ambient temperature. Also, ensure the adjustable waist drawcord and hood are tightened to prevent cold air from entering.

Remove the faux fur trim from the hood. Gently hand wash it in cold water with mild detergent or follow specific care label instructions for the faux fur. Air dry it flat or hang it, then gently brush to restore fluffiness. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents for the faux fur.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. You can apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax stick or silicone spray) to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
