Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Bowburn Tech Vest is a high-performance base layer designed for active women who prioritize comfort and moisture management during warm-weather outdoor activities. By utilizing a specialized polyester-elastane blend with four-way stretch, it offers exceptional freedom of movement and keeps you dry by wicking sweat away from the skin. While the garment provides superior odour control through its HeiQ Fresh finish, users should note that as a technical-fitting sleeveless top, it is best suited as a primary layer in high-exertion scenarios rather than for thermal insulation in cold climates.

FAQs
Is this vest suitable for layering?
Yes, it is designed as a base layer and fits comfortably under other technical jackets or mid-layers.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. High heat can damage the elastane fibers and reduce the lifespan of the anti-bacterial treatment.
What does the HeiQ Fresh finish do?
It is a silver-based treatment that prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresher for longer.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the vest is made from a polyester and elastane blend that features four-way stretch for maximum mobility.
How should I choose my size?
Refer to standard UK dress sizing. The vest is designed for an athletic, form-fitting feel.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after light activity
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable outer layer that is trapping moisture. If the vest is saturated, allow it to air out in a well-ventilated area.
Odour buildup after long-term use
Wash the garment according to instructions. If smells persist, perform a thorough wash to remove any accumulated oils or sweat residue that may be masking the anti-bacterial finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for warm weather
- High level of comfort due to soft, lightweight fabric
- Odor-control treatment allows for longer wear between washes
- Great range of motion provided by four-way stretch
Cons
- Sleeveless design offers no warmth for chilly conditions
- Synthetic material may not feel as natural as merino wool options
- Requires careful laundering to maintain anti-bacterial finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the performance fabric, it is recommended to wash the garment in cool water with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can leave a residue on the fibers that compromises the moisture-wicking properties and the effectiveness of the HeiQ Fresh treatment.
For best results, air dry the vest away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the fabric. The vest is designed to be form-fitting; ensure you select your correct UK dress size to fully benefit from the stretch-bound arm holes and ergonomic cut. It layers effectively under technical shells or fleeces if the temperature drops, but functions best as a standalone piece in warm environments.
