Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is a versatile, insulated mid-layer designed for adult men who need reliable thermal protection during outdoor activities. Featuring Hydroloft Polyball insulation, it provides excellent warmth-to-weight performance and water resistance, making it an ideal choice for hiking or daily commutes. While it offers superior comfort and compressibility, users should note that as a synthetic insulated jacket, it is best utilized as part of a layering system in extreme weather conditions rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof shell.

FAQs
Is the Vaskye Jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant thanks to the synthetic Hydroloft fill, but it is not a waterproof shell and should be paired with a rain jacket in heavy downpours.
How do I choose the right size?
The Vaskye follows standard generic apparel sizing. For a layering piece, choose your regular size, or size up if you intend to wear heavy fleeces underneath.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent and ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed.
What temperature is this jacket best for?
It is best suited for cool-to-cold conditions, acting as an insulating layer that traps body heat effectively.
How should I store it for long periods?
Always store the jacket hanging up or loosely folded to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears flat or thin
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat for 10-15 minutes with clean tennis balls to re-loft the synthetic fibers.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit, then lubricate with a light silicon spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Vaskye Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle, cool cycle using a technical detergent designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore the loft of the Polyball insulation. You can add clean tennis balls to the dryer to help fluff the fill.
- Storage: Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place rather than compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain its loft.
- Compatibility: The Vaskye is designed to fit under standard hard-shell jackets; ensure your outer layer has enough room to accommodate the bulk of the insulation for the best results.
