FAQs

Is the Berghaus Wavertree Half Zip fully waterproof?

No, it features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which is intended for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

Can I machine wash this garment?

Yes, machine wash according to the care label, preferably using a mild technical detergent.

What is the benefit of the grid-mesh lining?

The grid-mesh lining helps circulate air and manage heat, preventing you from becoming too sweaty during high-exertion activities.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, it is equipped with several zip pockets, including a chest pocket, all secured with bonded flaps.

Can I adjust the fit at the waist?

Yes, it features a bungee and lock adjustment cord at the hem to help you seal out draughts.

What is meant by 'peaked cuffs'?

Peaked cuffs are contoured to provide extra coverage over the back of the hand, which helps better block wind compared to straight-cut cuffs.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and reapply a DWR spray treatment.

Bungee hem cord is not holding position.

Ensure the toggle lock is free of grit or debris. Clean the toggle mechanism with warm water if it sticks.

Feeling damp inside while active.

The mid-layer may be trapped under a non-breathable outer shell. Ensure your outer layer is also breathable to allow moisture to escape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric
  • Effective heat management with grid-mesh lining
  • Adjustable hem helps tailor the fit and prevent draughts
  • Multiple secure storage pockets with bonded flaps
  • Versatile design for various outdoor activities

Cons

  • DWR finish requires periodic re-treatment to maintain performance
  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • Limited to mid-layer applications in extreme freezing temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions. Wash the jacket using a technical garment cleaner to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the mesh lining and inhibit the DWR performance. If the water-repellent effect begins to fade after heavy use, consider applying a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the fabric's ability to bead water. Store the garment on a hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain the shape of the cuffs and hem.
