Full details

The Berghaus Ridge-Roamer Softshell Jacket in Blue is designed for adult females facing unpredictable weather, offering comfort and protection with its four-way stretch and wind-resistant, breathable fabric. While it excels in managing moisture with a three-layer softshell, taped seams, and waterproof zips, users should be aware that it is machine washable and treated with a PFC-free DWR, not a fully waterproof coating.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the Ridge-Roamer Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, designed to handle rain showers and light rain effectively due to its DWR coating, taped seams, and waterproof zips. For prolonged heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell might be more appropriate.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

What does 'four-way stretch' mean?

Four-way stretch means the fabric can stretch in all four directions – up, down, and side-to-side – allowing for maximum freedom of movement and comfort during activity.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket provides wind resistance and can be layered over warmer clothing like a fleece for added insulation in cooler temperatures.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

After washing and drying, you can reactivate the DWR coating by ironing on a low heat or using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions for re-proofing agents.

What are the pocket features?

It features two waterproof zippered hand pockets for secure storage and one internal laminated chest pocket.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is adjustable around the face and at the back, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need replenishing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a waterproofing treatment or iron on a low heat.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. You can also apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.

The jacket may need airing out. Ensure the vents (if any) are open and allow the fabric to breathe. Check that the internal pockets are not holding moisture.
