Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vantashell Jacket is designed for active outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, versatile outer layer capable of handling unpredictable weather. It offers a high 20,000mm hydrostatic head for superior water resistance while maintaining excellent breathability for high-exertion activities. While it provides excellent protection, users should note that as a softshell-inspired design, it is best suited for layered systems rather than extreme arctic conditions.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, with a 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating, it provides high-level water resistance suitable for most heavy rain scenarios.
Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?
Yes, it features a protective hood with a bonded peak that can be adjusted for a secure fit.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals.
Is this suitable for winter hiking?
It serves as an excellent outer shell, but you should layer it over thermal mid-layers for warmth, as it is not an insulated jacket.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester designed for performance.
Does the jacket provide visibility in the dark?
Yes, the jacket includes integrated reflective details for improved safety in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating may need refreshing; wash the garment and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket despite high breathability.
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers and adjust your ventilation by loosening the hem or front zip during high-exertion segments.
Zippers feel stiff or stuck.
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove grit or debris, then apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Vantashell Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. The garment is compatible with a standard layering system; wear it over moisture-wicking synthetics or Merino wool for best results. When cleaning, use a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry to help reactivate the water-resistant finish. Always store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away in a backpack or storage bin to prevent mildew growth.
