Trespass Faithful Parka Jacket - Green - 8

Yes, the faux fur trim around the hood is designed to be easily removable for washing or if you prefer a different look.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. However, always refer to the care label for specific instructions. It's generally recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with a specialist cleaner for waterproof fabrics and avoid fabric softeners.

3000mm waterproof refers to the jacket's resistance to water pressure. It means the fabric can withstand a column of water 3,000 millimeters high before water starts to penetrate, indicating good protection against rain and wet conditions.

The jacket features a padded and furry fleece lining, providing good insulation for colder weather. While suitable for many winter conditions, its warmth can be enhanced by layering appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for very cold or extreme temperatures.

The hood is a 'grown on' style, meaning it's integrated with the jacket. It typically includes drawcords or togg that allow you to cinch it around your face or adjust its depth for a snugger, more protective fit against wind and rain.

The main zip pockets are designed to be water-resistant, offering protection for your belongings from light rain. The patch pockets with flaps offer good protection, but for highly sensitive items in heavy rain, additional waterproof protection is advised.

This often means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner for waterproof garments, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and mild detergent (avoiding fabric softeners). Air dry the jacket flat or on a hanger, rather than tumble drying on high heat, which can affect the fleece's texture. Gentle brushing with a soft brush once dry might help restore some fluffiness.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a zipper wax specifically designed for outdoor gear to the teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.
