Trespass Modesty Waterproof Jacket - Black - 8

Yes, the Trespass Modesty Jacket is designed with a durable shell, TPU membrane, and a reinforced storm flap to provide excellent waterproofing, making it highly effective against heavy rain.

Always check the care label first. Generally, use a technical cleaner for waterproof garments, wash on a gentle, cool cycle, and avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Air dry completely, or tumble dry on low if the label permits to reactivate the DWR.

The jacket features a lightly padded, quilted lining for warmth without bulk. It's suitable for cool to chilly conditions and can be layered with additional garments for colder winter days, but it is not designed for extreme arctic temperatures as a standalone item.

The two-way full front zip allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom. This is useful for increasing ventilation without fully unzipping, or for improved comfort and movement when sitting or climbing.

The description mentions 'three zip pockets' which typically offer good resistance to water, especially when zipped. However, for highly sensitive electronics, it's always recommended to use an additional dry bag or waterproof case within the pockets during prolonged heavy rain.

The back hem vent, combined with the extended length, allows for greater freedom of movement, especially when walking or sitting. It also helps with air circulation, preventing the jacket from feeling restrictive while adding to the overall comfort and style.

This often means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating needs reactivation or the jacket needs cleaning. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof gear, then tumble dry on low heat (if label permits) or iron on a very low setting to reactivate the DWR. If severely worn, a DWR re-proof spray or wash-in product can be applied.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to help it run smoothly. Ensure the storm flap is properly aligned when zipping.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect insulation performance. After washing, gently tumble dry on low with a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute and fluff up the polyester filling. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods during storage.
