No, the jacket features `Pertex® Quantum` fabric which is designed to repel wind and light rain, providing excellent resistance to moisture. However, it is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof, so for heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof shell is recommended.
You can machine wash your jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry by laying it flat or hanging it, and you can use dryer balls on a very low heat setting to help restore the insulation's loft.
`Hydroloft® Polyball` is Berghaus' advanced synthetic insulation. It's engineered to mimic the warmth and feel of down while offering superior performance in damp conditions, meaning it retains more warmth even when wet.
The Vaskye Jacket provides excellent warmth for its weight. For extremely cold temperatures, it is best utilized as part of a comprehensive layering system, combined with appropriate base layers and an outer shell, to maximize thermal efficiency.
The Vaskye Jacket features an integrated insulated hood that is designed to provide continuous warmth and protection. It is not removable.
The jacket is designed to be highly packable, compressing down nice and small. This makes it convenient for stowing in your backpack or travel bag, ensuring you're prepared for changing conditions without added bulk.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can compress insulation. Check for proper layering underneath; a good base layer enhances warmth. Also, confirm you're not over-compressing the jacket when stored, which can temporarily reduce loft.
The `Pertex® Quantum` fabric has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that can wear off over time. Wash the jacket as directed, which can sometimes reactivate the DWR. If not, consider reapplying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically for technical outerwear.
After washing, the synthetic insulation can sometimes clump. Air dry the jacket and periodically fluff it by hand to redistribute the `Hydroloft® Polyball`. You can also tumble dry on a very low heat setting with a few clean dryer balls (like tennis balls) to help break up clumps and restore loft.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or old toothbrush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Your Berghaus Vaskye Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it, zip it up, and you're ready to enjoy its warmth. For optimal performance, ensure all zippers are fully closed to trap warmth effectively.
This jacket is designed to integrate seamlessly into a layering system. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath for comfort, and pair it with a waterproof and windproof shell over the top for complete protection in adverse weather conditions. Its relatively slim profile allows for comfortable layering without excessive bulk.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket:
