Product Information

Full details

The Men's Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight warmth and comfort. Its key benefit is the hybrid synthetic Polyball insulation, offering excellent heat retention without excessive weight. A potential caveat for some users might be its 100% polyamide outer and lining, which may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers in very high-exertion activities. This jacket features a hood, full zip fastening, and two zipped pockets, making it a practical choice for layering or standalone wear.

FAQs

What is Polyball insulation?

Polyball is a synthetic insulation developed by Berghaus. It provides high levels of warmth and loft, similar to down, but retains its insulating properties even when wet, and is easier to care for.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle due to its polyamide fabric. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rainfall. A separate waterproof outer shell is recommended for such conditions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, it provides excellent warmth for its weight. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more protective outer jacket.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the Berghaus sizing guide for specific measurements. Generally, the jacket should fit comfortably over a base layer, allowing for movement without being too loose.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Berghaus typically offers a warranty on their products against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Berghaus website or your proof of purchase for specific warranty details.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood on the Vaskye jacket is typically integrated and cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and that the insulation has been re-lofted. Tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls as per care instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to free it. If the zip remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth.

Pockets feel bulky or misshapen

Ensure items are not overstuffed into the pockets. After washing and drying, allow the jacket to hang freely for a while to help the fabric settle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance and longevity of your Vaskye Jacket, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent at 30°C (86°F). Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to restore the loft and insulation.
  4. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing while damp.
  5. Zips: Fasten all zips before washing to prevent snagging.
