Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket - Black - 18

A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before it starts to leak. This indicates good protection against moderate rain and snow.

5000mvp (Moisture Vapour Permeability) indicates the fabric allows 5000 grams of moisture vapor to pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. This is considered a good level of breathability for general outdoor activities, helping to prevent internal condensation.

The Trespass Tilbury is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket. It provides excellent protection from rain and wind but does not offer significant insulation on its own. For very cold winter weather, you would need to wear appropriate insulating layers, such as a fleece or an insulated jacket, underneath.

Always check the care label first. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water (30°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Hang to air dry. Re-proof with a DWR treatment if water stops beading on the surface.

No, the hood is not detachable. It is an 'adjustable packaway hood,' meaning it can be neatly rolled or folded into the collar of the jacket when not in use.

While the jacket offers good breathability (5000mvp), for very high-energy or intense sports like trail running or mountain biking, you might find more specialized jackets with higher breathability ratings (e.g., 10,000mvp or more) offer greater comfort by shedding perspiration faster. However, for moderate activities, it performs very well.

The Trespass Tilbury Waterproof Jacket is made from Polyester.

This often occurs when the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is compromised or the jacket is dirty. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. If cleaning doesn't help, consider reapplying a DWR treatment. Also, check your layering; wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture.

The DWR finish on your jacket has likely worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt, then apply a new DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics. Gently tumble drying on low heat (if recommended on the care label) after treatment can sometimes help activate the new DWR.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris. Once dry, you can apply a specialized zipper lubricant (like a wax stick) to help it run smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Ensure all adjustable drawcords on the hood are properly tightened. Cinch the cords around your face and head for a snug fit. Some hoods also have a rear adjustment to pull the brim back from your eyes.
