Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Butterwick Jacket is designed for active adults who need a lightweight, packable softshell for high-output outdoor pursuits like hiking and trekking. Its primary strength lies in its four-way stretch fabric and DWR finish, providing excellent mobility and protection against light showers. However, it is important to note that this is a lightweight softshell, not a fully waterproof hardshell, meaning it may struggle to keep you dry during sustained, heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which is suitable for light showers but is not waterproof.
Does it have a helmet-compatible hood?
The hood is designed for a close, comfortable fit around the head, but it is not specifically rated for use over climbing helmets.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is a lightweight softshell, so it is best used as a breathable layer in mild to warm conditions, or as part of a layering system.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket is designed to fold into its own rear zipped pocket, which also features a hanging loop.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, it features four-way stretch polyester, which provides excellent freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray.
Jacket feels bulky when packed
Ensure you are using the designated rear zipped pocket pouch and compressing the fabric evenly as you fold it in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Butterwick, follow these care guidelines:
- Hem Adjustment: Use the two-point bungee cord and lock system at the hem to create a custom, draft-excluding seal.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR treatment.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface after a few months of use, apply a re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away into its pocket for extended periods to prevent odor buildup.
