FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is water-resistant due to its polyamide outer fabric, offering protection against light rain or drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof and is best used as a warm layer or with a separate waterproof outer shell in heavy rain.

What type of insulation does it use?

It uses Synthetic Hydroloft Polyball insulation, which is designed to provide lightweight warmth and comfort, performing well even in damp conditions.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the size chart provided by Berghaus for accurate measurements. The jacket is listed as a Men's Medium (M) in blue.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket provides good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions as a standalone piece or as part of a layering system. For extreme cold, it may be necessary to layer additional insulating garments underneath.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, then tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid fabric softeners.

Is the hood adjustable?

The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable. It is an attached hood designed to offer general protection.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the slider back and forth. If a fabric snag is visible, carefully try to pull the fabric away from the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Reduced insulation effectiveness

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying to restore the loft of the synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Pockets feel bulky

Ensure items are not overstuffed into the zipped pockets. Distribute contents evenly and avoid carrying excessively large items.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to synthetic insulation.
  • Highly packable, making it convenient for travel and storage.
  • Durable polyamide outer shell provides good wind resistance.
  • Comfortable for everyday wear and light outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold conditions.
  • The blue color might not suit all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for adult males and pairs well with casual wear, hiking attire, or as a layering piece under a waterproof shell. It is suitable for various outdoor activities and general everyday use.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulation's effectiveness.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It may be beneficial to add a few clean tennis balls to the dryer to help restore the insulation's loft.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term compression, which can impact the insulation.
