Berghaus Vaskye - Black

The jacket features PertexQuantum fabric, which is highly wind-resistant and has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to shed light moisture. However, it is not explicitly stated as fully waterproof, so for heavy rain, we recommend wearing a waterproof shell over it.

It uses Hydroloft Polyball insulation, an advanced synthetic insulation that provides excellent warmth and retains its insulating properties even if it gets damp, unlike traditional down.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low with dryer balls, or air dry flat, ensuring it's completely dry before storage.

Yes, its lightweight design and breathability make it suitable for active pursuits like hiking and trekking. The Hydroloft Polyball insulation offers warmth without excessive bulk, allowing for freedom of movement.

Yes, the Berghaus Vaskye Insulated Jacket features a fully adjustable hood for added protection against wind and cold.

The jacket is made from 93% Polyester and 7% Elastane, contributing to its durability, flexibility, and lightweight properties.

Yes, the jacket includes an internal zipped pocket, ideal for securely storing valuables like your phone or keys.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. The Vaskye jacket is an excellent insulating mid-layer or outer layer, but in extreme cold, additional base layers or a waterproof shell might be necessary. Check that the hood and hem are adjusted to seal in warmth.

While designed to be packable, synthetic insulation will always have some volume. To pack efficiently, start by folding the jacket neatly, then roll it tightly from the bottom hem towards the collar/hood. Store it in its stuff sack (if provided, otherwise use a compression sack) to minimize space.

Gently clear any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If stiffness persists, use a specialized zipper lubricant (available at outdoor stores) sparingly on the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

Follow the care instructions for washing. Use a technical wash specifically designed for synthetic insulation and outdoor gear, as these are formulated to remove odors and restore fabric performance without damaging materials. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
