FAQs

What is the main advantage of the longer length?

The longer length provides extra protection for your hips and upper legs against rain and wind, offering more comprehensive coverage than a standard jacket.

How does the double cuff help?

The double cuff design includes an internal elasticated cuff that creates a snug seal around your wrist, effectively preventing water from running up your sleeves.

Can this jacket be used for high-intensity hiking?

It offers good protection, but it is primarily designed for general outdoor use and moderate activity. For very strenuous hikes, you might find it less breathable than jackets specifically designed for high output.

What type of clothing should I wear underneath?

You can layer a t-shirt, fleece, or a lightweight insulated jacket underneath, depending on the weather conditions. Avoid cotton base layers as they can hold moisture.

How do I maintain the waterproofing?

Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's performance.

Is this jacket suitable for children?

This specific model, the Omeara Long Shell - Peak, is designed for adult women based on the available product information.

What are the care instructions for the zip?

Keep the zip clean and free from debris. For stiffness, use a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Ensure the zip is fully closed before washing.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the fabric surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zip teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip track.

Internal cuff is stretched or loose

This is not typically repairable at home. Contact Berghaus customer service for potential repair options or advice.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain

This could be due to condensation from body moisture. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and use the two-way zip for ventilation.
