Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Rain-Motion Jacket is designed for adult hikers and trail enthusiasts who require a high-performance, waterproof shell that manages moisture during strenuous activity. It provides an excellent balance of breathability and elemental protection through its 3L Pertex Shield construction, though users should note that the slim-fit design may feel restrictive if you prefer layering heavy insulation underneath.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is designed for active trail use. While it is fully waterproof, it is lightweight, so you must pair it with appropriate base and mid-layers for winter temperatures.
Can I fit a bulky fleece under this jacket?
The jacket features a slim-fit design to minimize flapping. A thin, technical mid-layer is recommended over a thick or bulky fleece.
How do I pack the jacket into itself?
Locate the internal pocket. You can invert the pocket fabric and stuff the entire jacket into the pocket to create a compact package.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs feature elasticated detailing rather than adjustable Velcro tabs to save weight and maintain a streamlined profile.
Does this jacket have underarm vents?
No, this model relies on the inherent high breathability of the 3L Pertex Shield fabric to manage moisture during activity.
Is the DWR coating environmentally safe?
Yes, the jacket uses a PFC-free durable water repellent coating, reducing the chemical impact compared to traditional DWR treatments.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the surface fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water beading.
Internal condensation buildup
Reduce your under-layers to allow the membrane to breathe effectively, or unzip the main front zip slightly during exertion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and highly compressible for easy storage
- Breathable 3L fabric prevents overheating
- Ergonomic fit allows for unrestricted motion
- Pack-compatible pocket placement
- Environmentally friendly DWR coating
Cons
- Slim fit may not accommodate thick mid-layers
- Elasticated cuffs and hem are less adjustable than Velcro tabs
- Specific fit requires careful sizing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure the front zip is fully closed when facing extreme weather. For care, wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Always air dry away from direct heat sources. To restore the DWR coating over time, tumble dry on a low setting or apply a spray-on treatment specifically meant for waterproof breathable fabrics. Do not use standard laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these will clog the membrane and reduce breathability.
