Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Kielder GORE-TEX InterActive Jacket is designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, waterproof outer layer that adapts to changing mountain conditions. Its primary benefit is the 2L GORE-TEX ePE membrane, which offers exceptional weather protection while maintaining high breathability, though users should note that the regular fit may feel slightly loose for those who prefer a highly athletic, slim silhouette.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX 2L membrane is completely windproof, providing excellent protection against cold mountain gusts.

Can I wear this for winter skiing?

While it is waterproof, it is a shell layer. It works well if you wear a warm midlayer underneath, but it lacks the thermal insulation typically built into ski jackets.

How do I know which midlayers are compatible?

Look for the 'InterActive' label on compatible Berghaus midlayers, which confirms they feature the correct internal zipper attachment.

Does the hood adjust for different head sizes?

Yes, the fixed hood includes adjustment points to ensure it stays in place during windy conditions.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the technical integrity of the waterproof membrane.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a spray-on re-proofer if reactivation fails.

Difficulty zipping in a midlayer

Ensure the midlayer is specifically designated as an 'InterActive' model and check that both zipper pulls are fully aligned at the base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof performance in harsh conditions
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous hikes
  • Versatile InterActive zip allows for layering customization
  • Excellent range of motion due to articulated sleeve design
  • Practical pocket placement for easy access to essentials

Cons

  • Regular fit may not suit those looking for a tailored aesthetic
  • Fixed hood lacks stowaway functionality
  • Limited to specific Berghaus InterActive midlayer compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your jacket, ensure you periodically wash it to keep the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating effective. Use a dedicated technical gear wash rather than standard laundry detergent.

  1. Compatibility: Check that your intended midlayer is part of the 'InterActive' range to ensure the inner zipper alignment is correct.
  2. Adjustments: Use the hem drawcord and cuff velcro straps to create a seal against wind-driven rain.
  3. Care: Tumble dry on a low heat setting after washing to help reactivate the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can compromise the breathable ePE technology.
