Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket - Black - 12

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm. This means it can withstand 5000mm of water over a square inch before water starts to penetrate. It is suitable for light to moderate rain and snow, keeping you dry during most everyday outdoor activities and light showers.

The Trespass Tilbury is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket, not an insulated winter jacket. While it provides excellent protection from wind and rain, for cold winter weather, you would need to wear appropriate warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal base layers, to stay warm.

The jacket features an adjustable packaway hood. This means it can be cinched down for a snug fit using its adjusters, and conveniently rolled up and stored within the collar when not needed, rather than being completely detachable.

Always follow the care label. Generally, close all zippers, machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powder detergents. Air dry thoroughly.

This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including daily commuting, dog walking, light hiking, casual urban exploring, and general outdoor use in changeable weather conditions where light to moderate rain and wind are expected.

You'll notice the DWR needs reapplication when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks into the outer layer (this is called "wetting out"). The jacket may still be waterproof due to the internal membrane, but the fabric will feel cold and heavier.

Yes, the Trespass Tilbury jacket is equipped with two secure zip pockets, perfect for keeping your essential items like keys, phone, or a small wallet safe and dry during your outdoor adventures.

5000mvp (Moisture Vapor Permeability) indicates how much water vapor (perspiration) can escape through the fabric over a given period. A 5000mvp rating means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric in 24 hours, making the jacket comfortably breathable for moderate activity without feeling clammy.

This usually means the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket using a specialized technical cleaner for waterproof garments, then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. If still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to the teeth and pull the slider back and forth several times.

Wash the jacket again using a technical outerwear cleaner, which often has odor-neutralizing properties. Ensure thorough rinsing. If the odor persists, a specialized enzyme cleaner for athletic wear might be necessary, followed by air-drying in a very well-ventilated area. Avoid storing the jacket damp.
