FAQs

Is the Berghaus Vaskye Jacket waterproof?

The jacket features Pertex Quantum fabric which is windproof. While it offers good resistance against light moisture, it is not explicitly rated as fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof shell over it.

What type of insulation is Hydroloft Polyball?

Hydroloft Polyball is an advanced synthetic insulation designed by Berghaus. It mimics the warmth and loft of down but offers superior performance in damp conditions, retaining more heat when wet and drying faster.

Can I wear this jacket as an outer layer?

Yes, the Vaskye Insulated Jacket is perfectly suitable as an outer layer in cold, dry, and windy conditions, thanks to its effective insulation and windproof Pertex Quantum fabric.

How should I clean my Berghaus Vaskye Jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, using a specialized cleaner for insulated garments. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to re-loft the insulation. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

How heavy is the jacket?

The Berghaus Vaskye Insulated Jacket weighs approximately 510g for a UK L size, making it a lightweight option for outdoor activities and travel.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

Yes, the jacket features a superb, fully adjustable hood that provides additional protection from wind and cold.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

It's designed to 'take on the big chill' and offers significant warmth. For extremely low temperatures, layering it over appropriate base and mid-layers will enhance its thermal performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm or insulation seems clumpy.

This can happen after washing. Ensure you tumble dry the jacket on a low heat with dryer balls to redistribute and re-loft the Hydroloft Polyball insulation evenly.

Zippers snag or are difficult to operate.

Gently work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if issues persist.

Jacket retains odors after wear.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a technical wash designed for synthetic garments. Ensure it is thoroughly dried afterward to prevent mildew.

Jacket feels too warm during activity.

The jacket is designed for warmth. If you feel too warm, consider adjusting your base or mid-layers underneath, or unzipping the jacket partially to vent heat while maintaining protection.

The Berghaus Vaskye Insulated Jacket requires no complex setup; simply wear it over your clothing. It is highly compatible with various layering systems: wear it as a standalone outer layer in cold, dry, and windy conditions, or integrate it as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket for complete protection in wet and cold environments. To ensure longevity and performance, proper care is essential:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with a technical outerwear cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise insulation performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-loft the synthetic insulation evenly and restore its puffiness. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. Storage: Store the jacket unfolded in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.
