FAQs

What is Hydroshell fabric?

Hydroshell is Berghaus' proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology designed to keep you dry and comfortable in wet conditions by preventing water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of my jacket?

Regular cleaning with a technical wash, reactivation of the `DWR` finish by tumble drying on low heat, and reapplication of a specialized `DWR` treatment product when water no longer beads on the surface are key steps to maintaining waterproofness.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The Stormcloud Jacket is a lightweight waterproof shell, not insulated. For very cold weather, you will need to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket, to stay warm.

Are the pockets truly accessible when wearing a large backpack?

Yes, the two zipped hand pockets are specifically designed to be positioned higher on the body, allowing for easy access even when you are wearing a rucksack with a hip belt fastened.

What does '10,000 hydrostatic head' mean?

A `10,000 hydrostatic head` rating means the fabric can withstand a 10,000mm column of water before it starts to leak. This indicates a high level of waterproof protection, suitable for significant rain.

What is the weight of this jacket?

This jacket weighs approximately `275g`, making it a very lightweight option for a fully waterproof shell.

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, typically it is machine washable. However, always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate washing instructions, and use a technical wash designed for waterproof clothing.

What material is the jacket made from?

The Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Jacket is made from `Nylon`, utilizing Berghaus' Hydroshell fabric technology.

Troubleshooting

My jacket feels wet inside, even though it's waterproof.

While the jacket is waterproof, internal moisture can build up if your body is producing more sweat than the fabric can breathe out. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers (not cotton) and adjust ventilation by unzipping the front slightly if conditions allow. Also, consider if the `DWR` needs reactivating or reapplying as a 'wet out' face fabric can reduce breathability.

Water isn't beading on the surface; it's soaking into the fabric.

This indicates the `DWR` (Durable Water Repellent) finish is wearing off. Reactivate the `DWR` by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes (if care label permits). If this doesn't work, reapply a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.

The hood doesn't stay in place or fit well.

Utilize the adjustable drawcords on the hood to customize the fit around your face and head. Pull the cords to tighten and release them to loosen, ensuring a snug fit that moves with your head.

Pockets are difficult to zip.

Ensure there's no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper carefully with a specialized zipper lubricant if it continues to be stiff. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

Setup

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket is designed as an outer shell and integrates seamlessly with a layering system. Pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer for optimal performance in varying temperatures.
  • Rucksacks: The strategically placed higher hand pockets ensure they remain accessible even when wearing a rucksack with a hip belt, enhancing its utility for hikers and backpackers.
  • Activities: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hill walking, hiking, trekking, and general outdoor use in wet conditions.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket.

  1. Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can compromise the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry. If tumble drying, a short period of low heat can help reactivate the `DWR` (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  3. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the `DWR` finish may wear off, causing the fabric to "wet out" (water stops beading and soaks into the face fabric). When this happens, reapply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof breathable outerwear.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hung up, to maintain its shape and fabric integrity.
