Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Kielder GORE-TEX InterActive Jacket is designed for adult men who require a reliable, high-performance waterproof shell for unpredictable outdoor environments. Its primary benefit is the 2L GORE-TEX ePE membrane that offers exceptional weather protection while maintaining necessary breathability, though users should note it is a standalone shell that requires a midlayer for added insulation in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Kielder is a 2L waterproof shell. It is designed to be worn over midlayers for warmth.
Can I use any midlayer with the InterActive zip?
The InterActive system is designed for compatibility with specific Berghaus InterActive midlayers.
How do I determine my size?
This jacket features a regular fit. Choose your standard size, keeping in mind that you may want extra room for a fleece or insulating jacket underneath.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is fixed, but it is designed to provide comprehensive coverage in wet conditions.
What is GORE-TEX ePE?
GORE-TEX ePE is an expanded polyethylene membrane that provides high-performance, durable waterproof protection with a lower environmental footprint.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the jacket surface
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a DWR spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate the finish.
Inner layer feels damp
This is likely condensation buildup from high-exertion activity. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking materials and utilize the InterActive zip for better ventilation if the weather permits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your jacket, ensure the InterActive zip is fully engaged when layering. For care, wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner specifically designed for GORE-TEX garments. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the membrane's breathability and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry, then re-activate the DWR treatment with a compatible spray if water stops beading on the surface of the polyester shell.
