Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, insulated layer for cold-weather outdoor activities. Featuring synthetic Hydroloft Polyball insulation and wind-resistant Pertex Quantum fabric, this jacket offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for hiking or winter commuting. While highly effective at retaining heat, the synthetic insulation is slightly heavier and bulkier than premium down alternatives.

FAQs
Is the Berghaus Vaskye Jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a windproof Pertex Quantum shell which is water-resistant, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and follow the specific care instructions on the internal label.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer?
Yes, its low-profile micro-baffle construction makes it suitable as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in extreme weather.
What is Hydroloft Polyball?
It is a synthetic insulation technology developed by Berghaus that mimics the structure and loft of down to provide warmth even when wet.
Does it come with a storage bag?
The jacket is designed to be packable, but it does not typically come with a dedicated separate stuff sack; it packs efficiently into its own pockets or a pack corner.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme mountain climbing?
It is excellent for active winter use, but for extreme mountaineering, you may require additional specialized technical layers.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels clumped or uneven
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with tennis balls or a dryer ball to redistribute and re-loft the synthetic fibers.
Outer fabric no longer sheds light moisture
The DWR coating may have worn off. Apply a technical fabric re-proofer spray compatible with synthetic garments to restore water repellency.
Zipper sticking or not closing smoothly
Check for fabric debris caught in the zipper track. If clean, gently rub a graphite pencil tip or specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Vaskye Jacket, always consult the garment's internal care label before washing. Generally, wash synthetic jackets in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the Pertex fabric. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help the Polyball insulation loft back up. When storing, try to hang the jacket in a cool, dry place rather than keeping it compressed for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
