Product Information

Full details

Featuring a soft-touch, four-way stretch construction, this garment prioritizes freedom of movement and comfort during vigorous hikes or daily commutes, though its weather-resistant finish is intended for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which makes it water-resistant for light showers, but it is not fully waterproof.

Can I layer this under a shell?

Yes, the Wavertree is designed as an ideal mid-layer that fits comfortably beneath a heavier waterproof shell.

How do I wash the Berghaus Wavertree?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What is the purpose of the grid-mesh lining?

The lining is designed to lift the fabric away from the skin, promoting better airflow and breathability during exercise.

Does the hem allow for a snug fit?

Yes, the integrated bungee and lock system allows you to tighten the hem against your waist to prevent wind from entering.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Check the zipper track for debris or fabric threads. Use a zipper lubricant or a light touch of beeswax to restore smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to four-way stretch fabric
  • Breathable grid-mesh lining prevents heat buildup
  • Effective wind-blocking design at the cuffs
  • Secure storage with weather-protected zip pockets
  • Versatile design suitable for varied outdoor activities

Cons

  • DWR finish is not a substitute for a waterproof rain shell
  • Half-zip design offers less ventilation control than a full-zip
  • Limited to adult sizing options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, always secure all zips before washing and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the DWR finish. For the best fit, utilize the bungee and lock hem system to seal out drafts when static, and loosen it during high-exertion periods to maximize ventilation. If the water-repellency begins to fade over time, consider using a technical garment re-proofer to restore the factory finish. Always hang the garment to air dry rather than using high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the stretch fibers.
