Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip is a technical fleece engineered for climbers and active outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize freedom of movement and thermal efficiency. It excels in high-output activities due to its four-way stretch fabric and adjustable ventilation, though it is primarily designed as a mid-layer and may require a shell jacket in heavy or sustained rain.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this garment waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant. It features a DWR coating to shed light rain, but it is not a waterproof shell.

Can I wear this under a harness?

Yes, the articulated fit and low-profile design make it highly compatible with climbing harnesses.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle, cold-water machine cycle and avoid heavy detergents or fabric softeners.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the fleece is designed specifically to balance warmth with breathability during high-output activities.

Does it have a hood?

No, this model is a half-zip without a hood, which reduces bulk when layering under a shell jacket.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofing treatment.

Fabric snagging on rough rock faces

While durable, the fleece is a technical fabric. Avoid dragging it directly against sharp granite or abrasive surfaces to prevent pilling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to four-way stretch
  • Effective temperature regulation via half-zip venting
  • DWR coating provides reliable protection against light showers
  • Lightweight and breathable for high-intensity movement

Cons

  • Limited water protection compared to a hardshell jacket
  • Single pocket may be insufficient for those carrying many accessories
  • Not intended for extreme cold weather insulation on its own

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the performance of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical gear cleaner if possible to protect the DWR finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric's elasticity.
  3. DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads off the fabric, re-apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical apparel.
  4. Compatibility: The slim-cut design makes it an ideal mid-layer. It fits comfortably under most standard climbing harnesses and shell jackets without creating excess bulk.
