FAQs
What does 'MADE KINDER' mean for this jacket?
'MADE KINDER' signifies that the product meets Berghaus's criteria for more responsibly made gear, including the use of more than 50% recycled content.
How do I adjust the hood effectively?
The hood features concealed internal and external adjustment points. Use these to cinch the hood around your face for a secure and personalized fit, ensuring maximum protection from the elements.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket provides good protection against wind and light rain due to its design and water-repellent finishes. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.
Can I wear layers underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a standard fit that accommodates layers. The longer length also provides good coverage for base layers or mid-layers.
How does the double cuff help?
The double cuff includes an internal elasticated cuff that fits snugly around your wrist. This design helps to prevent wind and rain from entering the sleeves.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can affect the fabric's loft and DWR performance. Hanging is ideal.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and exposure. Generally, re-apply DWR when water stops beading effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat, or re-applied if necessary. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zip teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.
Jacket feels less breathable than usual.
Check if the internal lining or any ventilation areas are blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Consider a gentle wash with a specialized technical cleaner.
