Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is a versatile insulated layer designed for adult men who prioritize warmth and mobility during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the use of water-resistant Hydroloft Polyball insulation, which provides synthetic warmth that remains effective even in damp conditions while being highly compressible for travel; however, it is primarily an insulation piece and may require a waterproof shell in heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Vaskye is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light drizzle or misty conditions, but it is not waterproof. A shell is recommended for heavy rain.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild, technical detergent. Avoid bleach and heavy agitation.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
It is best stored hanging up in a cool, dry place to prevent permanent compression of the synthetic insulation.
Is the hood removable?
No, the insulated hood is fixed to the collar.
Does the jacket run true to size?
The Berghaus Vaskye is designed with an active fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm over time
The synthetic fibers may have become compressed. Tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to help re-loft the insulation.
Outer fabric staining
Spot clean the affected area with a mild detergent and a soft cloth, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight design for easy layering or packing

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Vaskye utilizes high-performance synthetic fibers, maintenance is straightforward. To clean, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and reduce their lofting capabilities. For drying, use a low-heat tumble cycle; the synthetic balls respond well to low heat which helps restore their original loft. Store the jacket hanging up or loosely packed in a dry, ventilated area to ensure the insulation maintains its longevity.
