Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Hillwalker InterActive Jacket is designed for adult males who engage in walking, hiking, and trekking. Its key benefit is providing adaptable, breathable, waterproof protection against changing weather conditions, thanks to its dual-layer GORE-TEX® shell. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility requirement for Berghaus InterActive mid-layers for enhanced warmth. Key features include 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® 2L ePE fabric, a zip-in system for mid-layers, a double stormflap, a roll-away hood, adjustable cuffs and hem, and two zippered hand pockets.

FAQs
What makes this jacket 'InterActive'?
The 'InterActive' designation means the jacket features a specific zip system that allows you to zip in compatible Berghaus mid-layers, creating a single, insulated garment.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
On its own, it provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered over a warm Berghaus IA mid-layer.
How do I clean mud off the jacket?
For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For a full clean, follow the machine washing instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.
What is the primary material and its benefit?
The primary material is a 2-layer GORE-TEX® shell with an ePE membrane. This provides durable waterproofness and breathability.
Can I wear this jacket without a mid-layer?
Yes, the jacket functions perfectly as a waterproof and breathable shell layer on its own. The IA zip is an option for added warmth.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for walking, hiking, and trekking, especially in conditions where variable weather is expected.
How much does the jacket weigh?
The jacket weighs approximately 630g (22.2oz) in a size Large.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and then apply a DWR re-proofer according to product instructions.
Water seems to be leaking through the main zip.
Ensure the double stormflap is correctly aligned and fastened over the main zip. Check the zip for any debris that might be preventing a full seal.
Mid-layer doesn't zip in correctly.
Confirm that both the jacket and the mid-layer have the 'InterActive (IA)' zip system. Ensure the zips are aligned correctly before attempting to zip them together.
Hood is bulky when stowed.
Ensure the hood is fully rolled and secured tightly into the collar compartment. Check for any excess fabric that might be causing bulk.
