Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Wandermoor Wind Smock is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a lightweight, packable, and wind-resistant layer for unpredictable weather. It provides excellent freedom of movement through its four-way stretch construction and PFC-free water-repellent coating. Please note that while it is highly effective against wind and light spray, it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket and should be used as part of a layering system in heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is the Wandermoor Wind Smock waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR coating, but it is not fully waterproof and will soak through in heavy or continuous rain.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It is best used as a wind-blocking shell. In winter, it should be layered over insulating base layers or mid-layers to provide warmth.
How do I turn the pocket into a bag?
The smock is designed to be inverted into its own kangaroo pocket. Once packed, the integrated straps allow it to be worn as a cross-body bag.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent coating is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in traditional DWR treatments but can be harmful to the environment.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood features a stretch-bound edge for a secure fit, but it does not have a drawcord adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR reactivation or re-proofing spray.
Difficulty folding the smock into the kangaroo pocket
Ensure all air is pressed out of the fabric while folding. Start by folding the sleeves inward to create a narrow rectangle before rolling it toward the pocket opening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Wandermoor Wind Smock performing at its peak, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for synthetic fabrics. Avoid heavy detergents or fabric softeners.
- DWR Reactivation: Over time, water-repellent performance may fade. Tumble dry on a low, gentle setting or iron on a cool setting (with a cloth barrier) to reactivate the DWR treatment.
- Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding it into its kangaroo pocket for long-term storage to prevent mildew and odors.
- Compatibility: This smock is intended as an outer layer in fair conditions or a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during severe storms. It fits comfortably over base layers or light fleeces due to its relaxed, flexible design.
