FAQs

How often should I wash the jacket?

Wash the jacket when it appears dirty or when its waterproof performance diminishes. Frequent washing is not necessary, and excessive washing can degrade the DWR coating.

Can I iron the jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. If necessary, use a low-heat setting on a tumble dryer.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a technical wash detergent specifically designed for waterproof and breathable garments. Avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners.

How do I re-proof the jacket?

After washing, apply a DWR spray to the clean and damp jacket. Follow the instructions on the DWR product for best results.

What is GORE-TEX?

GORE-TEX is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Where is the jacket manufactured?

Manufacturing details can vary; check the jacket's label for specific information.

What is the warranty on the jacket?

Warranty information can vary. Consult the Berghaus website or the retailer where you purchased the jacket for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Wash and re-proof the jacket using a technical wash and DWR spray. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX material and repair if necessary.

The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Clean the jacket as per care instructions. Dirt and oils can clog the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane, reducing breathability.

Adjustable cords are not functioning correctly.

Check for any tangles or obstructions in the cord mechanisms. If the cords are damaged, replace them with appropriate replacements.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate the zippers with a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can damage the fabric.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a technical wash detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
