Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Jacket in Black (Size L) is designed for adults seeking reliable protection in diverse weather conditions. Its key benefit is the durable, waterproof, and breathable GORE-TEX ePE fabric, offering excellent defense against the elements while remaining environmentally conscious. A potential consideration is that while it offers a PFAS-free construction, it may not provide the same level of insulation as jackets with synthetic fill unless paired with a compatible mid-layer.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Jacket is a waterproof shell and is not insulated. It is designed to be layered over warm mid-layers for added insulation in colder weather.
What does '2L GORE-TEX ePE' mean?
This refers to the jacket's construction using two layers of GORE-TEX fabric made from expanded polyethylene (ePE). It provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable properties. The 'ePE' indicates a more environmentally conscious material choice.
How do I clean my Berghaus jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using a technical wash or liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softener. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat to restore the DWR, or iron on a low setting.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
Yes, the 2L GORE-TEX ePE fabric is fully waterproof and designed to withstand heavy rain. The double storm flap and adjustable features further enhance protection.
What is the benefit of the InterActive zip?
The InterActive zip allows you to attach compatible Berghaus fleeces or mid-layers directly to the jacket, creating a single, more insulated garment and preventing layers from shifting.
Does the hood come off?
The hood is adjustable, fully removable, and can be rolled away for neat storage when not in use.
What should I do if the waterproofing seems to be failing?
If water is no longer beading on the surface, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs reactivating. This can often be achieved by tumble drying on a low heat setting or gently ironing. If this doesn't help, consider applying a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions. If water no longer beads on the surface, reapply a DWR treatment. Check the storm flap is properly closed.
Hood is not fitting well or is too loose
Adjust the multiple points on the hood using the drawcords to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure any stow-away features are fully retracted.
Front zip is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the storm flap is clear of the zip. Gently try to work the zip. If it persists, apply a wax-based lubricant or silicone spray to the zip teeth.
InterActive zip not connecting with mid-layer
Confirm that both the jacket and the mid-layer are Berghaus InterActive compatible. Ensure both zips are fully extended and aligned correctly before attempting to zip them together.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly waterproof and breathable thanks to GORE-TEX ePE fabric.
- Environmentally conscious design with PFAS-free materials.
- Versatile layering options with the InterActive zip system.
- Effective protection against wind and rain with storm flap and adjustable features.
- Durable construction for long-lasting use.
Cons
- May require a separate mid-layer for significant warmth in very cold conditions.
- The 'roll away' hood might be less secure in extreme winds compared to fixed hoods.
- While durable, the ePE fabric might be less soft than some other shell materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The jacket is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for a comfortable and secure fit before heading out.
Compatibility: The jacket features an InterActive zip designed to connect with compatible Berghaus mid-layer fleeces. Check the Berghaus range for specific InterActive-compatible garments if you plan to layer for extra warmth.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric conditioner.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for approximately 20-30 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If you don't have a tumble dryer, hang to dry and then iron on a low setting with a towel between the iron and the fabric.
- Re-waterproofing: If the DWR finish is no longer effective (water no longer beads on the surface), apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in product following the manufacturer's instructions.
