Stormcloud Waterproof Jacket - Black - Size 10

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
