FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and dampness, but it is not intended for heavy, continuous rainfall.
Can I pack this jacket into its own pocket?
Yes, it is designed to pack down into its integrated rear pouch pocket for easy storage.
What does 'four-way stretch' mean?
The fabric is engineered to stretch both horizontally and vertically, providing a wider range of motion than standard static fabrics.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features a single-point adjustment system located on the back or side, which allows you to cinch it for a tighter fit against wind.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated to provide a secure fit that keeps draughts out without the need for manual Velcro adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a compatible spray-on water repellent treatment designed for softshell jackets.
Bungee cords are difficult to pull
Check the cord locks for debris or grit. Gently rinse with water to clear the mechanism and ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Whinfell jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-resistant treatment.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the stretch fibers.
- Storage: When packing into the rear pocket, ensure the garment is dry to prevent odors or fabric degradation.
- Compatibility: The relaxed fit allows for comfortable layering over base layers or light t-shirts. Avoid wearing heavy, bulky sweaters underneath, as this may restrict the effectiveness of the four-way stretch fabric.
