Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Wavertree Hooded Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults seeking a reliable, lightweight outer layer for varied outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of four-way stretch fabric and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, ensuring both comfort and protection from light elements. While it excels at breathability during movement, users should note that it is designed as a soft-shell style layer, meaning it provides minimal insulation for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which makes it water-resistant. It will protect you in light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain shell.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It is best used as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in very cold weather.

How do I choose the right size?

This jacket uses standard adult sizing. It is designed for an active fit, so if you plan to wear bulky layers underneath, consider how that impacts your usual size preference.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the zip pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and other trail essentials.

Does the hood have an adjustment cord?

The hood is designed for a streamlined fit; check the specific product iteration, but generally, this model relies on its stretch construction to sit securely.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

The hem cord feels loose or slips

Ensure the bungee lock mechanism is free of grit or debris. Clean the lock with warm water if it fails to grip the cord securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric
  • Lightweight construction prevents overheating
  • Water-resistant finish handles light showers
  • Practical pocket layout for secure gear storage
  • Adjustable hem helps retain body heat

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Offers limited warmth in freezing conditions
  • Requires periodic re-application of DWR treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, utilize the bungee and lock cord at the hem; pulling this tight will prevent wind from riding up the back of the jacket. The jacket is designed with a clean, ergonomic cut that layers well over base layers or thin fleece pullovers.

Care Instructions:

  • Wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner to maintain the DWR finish.
  • Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the mesh lining and inhibit the water-repellent properties.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to ensure the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
  • Periodically re-apply a DWR spray treatment if you notice water no longer beads off the fabric surface.
