FAQs

Is the fabric waterproof?

The fabric is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which makes it ideal for light rain and spray, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy, sustained downpours.

Does this garment provide insulation?

It is designed as a mid-layer or active top. While the grid-mesh construction offers some warmth, it is primarily focused on breathability and temperature regulation.

How should I choose the right size?

The Wavertree has an athletic fit designed for performance. If you intend to wear heavy layers underneath, you might consider sizing up, though the stretch fabric is designed to fit close to the body.

Can I use fabric softener?

No. Fabric softeners leave a residue that can clog the pores of the technical fabric, reducing its breathability and water-repellent properties.

What is the purpose of the peaked cuffs?

Peaked cuffs are designed to extend slightly over the back of the hand, providing an extra barrier against wind and cold air entering the sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a specialized DWR restorer spray.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.

Check for fabric caught in the teeth. If clear, use a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant or clean the teeth with a soft toothbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Wavertree, follow these maintenance steps:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR treatment.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the stretch fabric. Avoid direct high-heat sources like radiators.
  3. DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a spray-on DWR restorer to maintain the garment's water-repellent performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure all zippers are closed to prevent snags during storage.
