Berghaus Prism Polartec Interactive Jacket - Grey - XS

An 'interactive' jacket is designed with a specific zip system that allows it to be zipped into a compatible waterproof or windproof outer shell. This creates a two-in-one system for enhanced warmth and weather protection.

No, the Berghaus Prism Polartec Interactive Jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It provides insulation and breathability but will get wet in heavy rain. It is designed to be worn on its own in dry conditions or zipped into a waterproof outer shell.

Polartec is a brand of high-performance fleece fabrics known for their warmth, breathability, durability, and lightweight properties. It's designed to provide excellent insulation without excessive bulk.

Look for a description on your outer jacket that mentions 'interactive zip' or 'interchange compatible'. The Prism jacket typically uses a full-length front zip that aligns with these compatible shells.

As a mid-layer, it's excellent for very cold weather when combined with an appropriate outer shell. On its own, it is best suited for cool to mild temperatures.

Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with liquid detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to preserve the fleece's properties.

This specific guide entry is for size XS. However, the Berghaus Prism Polartec Interactive Jacket is typically available in a range of sizes from XS to XXXXL. Please check the product listing for available sizes.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to realign the zipper teeth. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.

This jacket is primarily an insulation layer. For colder or windier conditions, consider wearing it with a compatible interactive shell or a windproof outer layer.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, follow the care instructions precisely: wash cold, use liquid detergent, and avoid harsh tumbling. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver.

Ensure you are washing it correctly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can flatten fleece fibers. Tumble drying on a low heat can sometimes help restore loft.
