Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Vantashell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a high-performance outer layer for challenging winter conditions. It excels by balancing impressive weather resistance with high-level breathability, making it an ideal choice for hiking and climbing where temperature regulation is critical. While it offers premium technical protection, it is important to note that as a softshell, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a heavy-duty expedition parka.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, with a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm, it provides highly effective protection against heavy rain and snow.

Can I use this for mountain climbing?

Absolutely, its breathability and durable polyester construction make it well-suited for high-output mountain activities.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features four secure zipped pockets for convenient storage.

Should I size up for layering?

The Vantashell is designed to be worn over layers; however, if you plan to wear very thick mid-layers, consider your layering needs when selecting your size.

Is this machine washable?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and ensure all zips are closed before cleaning.

Does it have reflective features?

Yes, it includes reflective details to improve your visibility in low-light environments.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish, or apply a spray-on re-proofer.

Feeling clammy inside the jacket during activity

Ensure your base layers are made of moisture-wicking synthetic or wool materials rather than cotton, and adjust your front zip or hem cinch to increase ventilation.

Hood feels loose in high winds

Utilize the integrated adjustment points on the hood to secure it closer to your head or helmet for a more aerodynamic fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of waterproof protection and breathability
  • Versatile layering capability for various winter sports
  • Durable polyester construction for long-term reliability
  • Ample storage space with four zipped pockets
  • High-visibility elements included for safety

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme sub-zero static temperatures without base layers
  • Limited color options in the XXL size range
  • Requires regular DWR maintenance to maintain water beading

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the performance of your Berghaus Vantashell, ensure the jacket is properly layered underneath with moisture-wicking base layers to allow the breathability features to function as intended. When washing, use a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear to ensure you do not strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating. Always close all four zipped pockets before putting the jacket in the wash. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the technical polyester fabric. For best results, tumble dry on a low heat setting periodically to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
