Trespass Adults Waterproof Jacket Qikpac - Lightweight Packaway Raincoat, 2 Zip Pockets, Full Body Front Zip, Adjustable Hood, Storm Flap, Ventilated Back, Foldable Packs in Pouch

In our testing and based on user feedback, the Trespass Qikpac jacket offers good waterproofing for light to moderate rain and showers. It effectively prevents water from penetrating during typical wet weather conditions, keeping the wearer dry. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or extreme wet conditions, more technical jackets with higher hydrostatic head ratings might be preferable.

Multiple user reviews indicate that the Trespass Qikpac jacket tends to run small. We strongly recommend that customers consider ordering one size larger than their usual fit to ensure a comfortable wear, especially if planning to layer clothing underneath. Checking specific size charts provided by the retailer is also advisable.

The breathability of the Trespass Qikpac jacket is a common point of concern among users. While it features a back vent, it offers limited effectiveness in managing internal moisture during strenuous activities. For vigorous walking or hiking where significant body heat is generated, condensation build-up can occur. It is better suited for less intense activities or very windy conditions where airflow is naturally enhanced.

To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity, we recommend washing it on a cool, gentle cycle (typically 30-40°C) with a technical wash product designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's membrane. Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label, and air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting if recommended.

Yes, you can layer items under the Trespass Qikpac jacket, but due to its tendency to run small, it's advisable to size up if you plan on frequently wearing thicker mid-layers. A lightweight fleece or a thermal base layer, such as a Mountain Warehouse microfleece top, would be suitable without making the fit too restrictive. Avoid overly bulky jumpers.

The jacket's design, including its storm flap and adjustable hood, offers decent protection against wind. While its primary function is waterproofing, it does provide a good barrier against wind chill, making it suitable for breezy days. The back vent may also perform slightly better in windy conditions, aiding in air circulation.
