Full details

Featuring a strategic blend of Hydrodown and synthetic insulation, it offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for mountaineers and hikers; however, users should note that while it is water-resistant, it is not a fully waterproof shell and may require an additional layer in heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or snow, but it is not a fully waterproof shell for heavy weather.
Can I wear this while wearing a large backpack?
Yes, the pockets are designed to be accessible even while a backpack hip belt is fastened.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
It is recommended to store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung up rather than compressed in its stuff sack for long-term storage.
What is the benefit of body mapping?
Body mapping ensures you get insulation exactly where you need it most while reducing bulk in areas where you generate more sweat.
Can I use standard laundry detergent?
It is best to use a specialized down detergent to preserve the natural oils and the water-resistant treatment on the down feathers.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is common with down products. Gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out, then rub the fabric to reseal the hole.
The jacket feels less warm after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. If the down is clumped, put the jacket in the tumble dryer on a low setting with dryer balls to break up the clusters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Berghaus Theralite is designed as a technical mid-layer or outer layer depending on conditions. It pairs effectively under a heavier waterproof shell in extreme storm conditions or acts as a primary insulator on clear, crisp days. To care for the jacket, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a specific down detergent. Always tumble dry with tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down clusters and restore loft. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents as these can compromise the water-resistant coating and the performance of the down feathers.
