The Berghaus RG Alpha 2.0 Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for active adults who need reliable protection during hill walking or daily commutes. Utilizing Berghaus's proprietary Hydroshell technology, it offers a robust balance of breathability and waterproof performance. While it excels in wet weather protection, users should note that as a shell layer, it does not provide significant insulation, necessitating a separate base or mid-layer in colder temperatures.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket using a mild, technical cleaning solution specifically formulated for waterproof breathable fabrics.
The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is not insulated. You can use it in winter provided you wear sufficient warm mid-layers underneath.
Hydroshell is Berghaus's signature waterproof and breathable fabric designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while ensuring internal moisture can escape.
The RG Alpha 2.0 features a rollaway hood which can be secured when not in use.
The pockets are zipped and secure, but they are not fully seam-sealed or waterproof. It is recommended to keep electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket during heavy rain.
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Check your layering system. If you are wearing non-breathable materials underneath, sweat may be trapped. Switch to moisture-wicking synthetic or merino base layers.
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care steps: Always wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments; avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating. Hang-dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. Because this is a shell layer, it is fully compatible with fleece or synthetic mid-layers. When choosing your size, consider the bulk of the layers you plan to wear underneath. The adjustable hem should be pulled snug during high winds to minimize the "chimney effect," where air flows up from the bottom of the jacket.
