Trespass Kristen Hooded Softshell Jacket - Grey - 14

A waterproof rating of 8000mm means the fabric can withstand a column of water 8,000 millimeters high before water starts to penetrate. This indicates good water resistance, suitable for moderate rain and snow.

Yes, with its windproof protection, 8000mm waterproof rating, and bonded fur back for warmth, it's suitable for milder winter conditions or as an outer layer in colder winter weather when paired with appropriate insulating mid-layers.

A softshell jacket is a versatile outerwear piece designed to provide a balance of warmth, breathability, and weather protection. Unlike hardshells, they are typically more flexible, quieter, and offer some insulation, making them comfortable for active use.

The Trespass Kristen jacket is available in UK women's dress sizes. It's recommended to consult the Trespass sizing chart for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit, allowing for comfortable layering underneath if desired.

Yes, the durable Polyester material and design are suitable for wearing a backpack. However, prolonged heavy pressure from backpack straps can compress the waterproof membrane over time, potentially reducing its effectiveness in those specific areas.

The product description specifies two external zip pockets. There is no mention of internal pockets, so it is likely that there are none.

This can happen with regular wear and washing. Ensure you are washing the jacket correctly with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, and consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically for softshells if the original coating has worn off. Always air dry.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap and water to remove any dirt or debris. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to the teeth and slider. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Ensure you are not overdressing underneath the jacket. The breathable membrane works best when moisture can pass through. Also, check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and oil can clog the membrane. Regular cleaning according to care instructions can restore breathability.

Improper washing or drying can affect the fur's texture. Always follow the specific care instructions (once available) for fabrics with bonded fur. Gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle, followed by air drying flat, can often help maintain its loft and softness.
