Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Hillwalker Jacket in Green (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities like walking, hiking, and trekking. Its key benefit is its adaptability to changing weather conditions through a dual-layer GORE-TEX® shell that offers waterproof and breathable performance. A potential caveat is the need to purchase compatible mid-layers separately for enhanced warmth. Key features include its durable ripstop face, adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem, along with two handwarmer pockets and an InterActive zip for layering.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is designed for a wide range of weather conditions, offering waterproof protection for rain and wind resistance for blustery days. It can be adapted for colder temperatures by zipping in a compatible mid-layer.
How do I know if a mid-layer is compatible?
Look for Berghaus mid-layers specifically labeled as 'InterActive' (IA). These jackets feature a specific zip system that connects seamlessly with the Hillwalker Jacket.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs approximately 630g (22.2oz) in a Men's Large size.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
On its own, it provides protection from wind and rain. For very cold conditions, it is designed to be used as part of a layering system, requiring a warm, compatible mid-layer to be zipped in.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It's recommended to re-proof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or extensive use. Following the care instructions will help maintain its water repellency.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The main body is a 2-layer GORE-TEX® 100% polyamide with an ePE membrane. The trim is 100% polyamide with a PU laminate, and the lining is 100% polyester with a 100% polyester mesh lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove dirt and oils. Then, apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, followed by tumble drying to reactivate it.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Reduced breathability
Wash the jacket to remove any accumulated body oils or dirt that might be blocking the membrane pores. Ensure you are using a breathable mid-layer if one is zipped in.
Hood is not staying in place
Adjust the drawcords around the hood and at the back to secure a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is correctly stowed when not in use to prevent damage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof and breathable performance via GORE-TEX®.
- Durable construction suitable for rugged outdoor use.
- Versatile for different weather conditions with layering options.
- Comfortable fit with adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem.
- Practical features like handwarmer pockets and a stormflap.
Cons
- Mid-layers are sold separately for enhanced warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the jacket and allow it to air out.
- Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to your desired fit before heading out.
- If using a compatible mid-layer, align it with the jacket's InterActive zip and fasten securely.
Compatibility:
- This jacket features an InterActive (IA) zip, designed to connect with Berghaus IA mid-layers (sold separately).
- Ensure any purchased mid-layer is specifically listed as 'InterActive' or 'IA' compatible.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a technical outdoor wash or liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat for at least 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. You can also air dry and then tumble dry to achieve the same result.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR finish (e.g., Nikwax TX.Direct) following product instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Do not iron.
