FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Berghaus Cornice 2.0 Jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell. While it offers good protection from the elements, for very cold winter conditions, you will need to layer appropriate insulating mid-layers underneath to provide sufficient warmth.
How do I know if my mid-layer is compatible with the InterActive zip?
Look for the 'InterActive' branding or mention on the mid-layer product information. The Cornice 2.0 jacket's front zip is specifically designed to connect with compatible Berghaus InterActive mid-layers.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. It is important to follow the care label instructions precisely, typically using a mild detergent on a warm cycle and ensuring all zips are closed and pockets emptied.
What does 'PFAS-free' mean for this jacket?
PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals often used in DWR treatments. 'PFAS-free' means this jacket uses an alternative, more environmentally friendly treatment, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.
How long is the warranty on this jacket?
Berghaus clothing, including the Cornice 2.0 Jacket, is covered by the brand's Repairhaus service, which offers free repairs for rips, zips, and other issues. For specific warranty duration, please check the official Berghaus website or your proof of purchase.
What is the Hydrostatic Head and Breathability Rating?
The jacket has a Hydrostatic Head of 28,000mm, indicating excellent waterproofness. Its Breathability Rating is 20 RET, which signifies good breathability, suitable for moderate to high activity levels.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repelling water (water soaks into the fabric)
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this does not work, apply a new DWR treatment.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zip teeth with a brush and water, then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zips. Avoid using oil-based lubricants.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane, reducing breathability. Follow the washing instructions carefully.
InterActive zip not connecting with mid-layer
Verify that both the jacket and the mid-layer are Berghaus InterActive compatible and that the zip types match. Ensure there are no obstructions in the zips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Berghaus Cornice 2.0 Jacket requires minimal setup. Ensure all zips are fully closed and drawcords are adjusted for a comfortable fit before heading out. The hood can be rolled away into the collar when not in use.
Compatibility: The jacket features an InterActive front zip, which is designed to connect with specific Berghaus InterActive mid-layer jackets. This allows you to zip them together to form a single, insulated waterproof layer.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash with a mild detergent, following the care label instructions. Typically, this involves a warm wash cycle (around 40°C) and a double rinse.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat. Once dry, it is recommended to tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a PFC-free water-repellent treatment according to the product's instructions. Berghaus offers a Repairhaus service for professional repairs.
