Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, insulated layer for cold-weather outdoor activities. Featuring advanced Hydroloft Polyball insulation and wind-resistant Pertex Quantum fabric, this jacket offers an excellent balance of warmth and breathability while maintaining a packable design. Please note that while the jacket is highly insulating, it is not designed to be a fully waterproof shell, so it should be paired with a rain layer in wet conditions.

FAQs
Is the Berghaus Vaskye Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is designed for insulation and wind resistance. It is not waterproof and should be paired with a rain shell during wet weather.
Can I wear this while hiking in deep snow?
Yes, it is excellent for cold, dry conditions. If you expect melting snow or moisture, ensure you wear a waterproof layer over the top.
How should I store the jacket long-term?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in its stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the insulation's loft.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme high-altitude conditions?
While very warm, it is intended for general winter use. For extreme mountaineering, you may need a more specialized, heavier-weight expedition jacket.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
Yes, the integrated hood is designed to provide extra warmth and protection for the head and neck against wind chill.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels lumpy after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dedicated dryer balls to break up clumps and restore loft.
Outer fabric has a small snag
Use a specialized gear repair patch or adhesive ripstop tape to prevent the snag from turning into a tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Vaskye Jacket, follow these care instructions. Always check the garment label for specific temperature settings. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the windproof properties of the Pertex fabric. For drying, use a tumble dryer on a low setting with dryer balls to help redistribute the Polyball insulation evenly. When layering, this jacket works best under a waterproof hardshell if you anticipate precipitation, as the Vaskye is focused on insulation rather than weatherproofing.
