Trespass Bela Jacket Review

The Company

Trespass is one of the UK's most successful outdoor clothing companies. Founded in 1938, they initially used to make uniforms for the organisations such as the police. From humble beginnings with only 12 machinists they have grown to over 150 stores now nationwide.

As their product lines expanded they spent time and money developing their own special fabrics and waterproof material, such as Tres-tex - a specially designed waterproof fabric. Today Trespass is known for the excellence in outdoor clothing, combining special advances in fabric technology.

The Review

I was given an opportunity to review a jacket from Trespass so I chose the Bela Women's soft-shell jacket.



Bela Soft Shell Jacket In Black

I chose this jacket as I liked the streamlined look of the jacket and the black colour way could be worn over most clothing.

The jacket is very comfortable on. The material is flexible and waterproof without the bulk of a bigger jacket which I liked. It also has the added benefit of being made from a breathable and windproof material, suitable for many weather conditions. The high collar had a chin guard so that no cold air can get in and another useful feature is that the hood can be zipped off which aids the jacket's versatility. The sleeves have cuffs that can be adjusted and the jacket has three pockets to keep most of your items dry and warm

They say the Bela women’s softshell jacket is ideal for hiking or 
biking and I think it is also excellent for outdoor activities such as walking the dog, or even taking the kids to school. 

In fact it's the sort of jacket I wish I had with me when I recently went to San Francisco. San Francisco can be cold and windy even in June and this lightweight jacket would have been perfect to have in my case for my trip, shielding me from the cold, whilst still making me look stylish.


Available in a wide range of colours such as Pansy the jacket is very versatile 


Available in a range of colours including Pansy - a bright pink with purple undertones, Wildberry - a classic purple, Hibiscus - a bright red and Shiraz a wine colour, as well as classic Black you can have a different colour for every day of the week.

I think Trespass have done well producing a jacket with all these features and a range of colours without the bulk of a traditional walkers jacket.

The best thing is the price. At only £24.99 from £79.95 the jacket is excellent value too.
