FAQs
Is the Berghaus Vaskye Jacket waterproof?
No, it is wind-resistant and designed for dry, cold conditions. It will not protect you during heavy rain.
Can I use this for high-intensity mountaineering?
It is suitable for hiking and general outdoor use, but for extreme mountaineering, you may need a more technical, weather-hardened shell.
How should I store this jacket?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the insulation's performance.
Does the jacket come with a warranty?
Berghaus products typically include a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed for a close, comfortable fit to keep wind out, but it does not feature a multi-point adjustment system.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears clumped or flat
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the synthetic fibers back to their original state.
Dirt or stains on the outer fabric
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to protect the Pertex Quantum weave.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clear any debris with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Vaskye is a standalone piece that functions best as part of a layering system. It can be worn over a base layer and under a waterproof shell for maximum utility in harsh conditions. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, ensuring all zippers are closed. It is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball or dryer ball to help the synthetic insulation regain its loft. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the specialized Pertex Quantum fabric.
