FAQs
What does 'InterActive' mean for this jacket?
InterActive (IA) refers to the jacket's front zip system, which is designed to securely zip in compatible Berghaus mid-layers (like fleeces or insulated jackets) to create a combined, warmer system.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a shell jacket. It provides waterproof and breathable protection from the elements but does not contain insulation. You can add warmth by zipping in a compatible IA mid-layer.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Berghaus sizing guide for men's jackets. It's recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare these with the provided chart. Consider if you plan to wear thick mid-layers underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wash this jacket with regular detergent?
No, it is recommended to use a specialized technical wash or liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is needed when water no longer beads on the surface. This can vary depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but typically after several washes or a season of regular use.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs approximately 630g (22.2oz) for a size Large.
Can I use a non-Berghaus mid-layer with this jacket?
While the InterActive zip is designed for Berghaus mid-layers, some universal zip systems might be compatible. However, for the best fit and performance, it is recommended to use a Berghaus InterActive (IA) mid-layer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside.
This could be due to condensation from insufficient breathability or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the underarm zips (if present) are open, and try adjusting the hood and hem. If the issue persists, check the GORE-TEX® membrane for damage and ensure it is clean.
Water is not beading on the surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Re-activate it by tumble drying on a medium heat for 20 minutes. If this doesn't help, apply a new DWR treatment following the product instructions.
Front zip is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip. Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zip teeth.
Jacket is no longer windproof.
Check the integrity of the GORE-TEX® membrane and the sealing of the stormflap. Ensure cuffs and hem seals are functioning correctly. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:

- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat for approximately 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Hang to dry completely afterwards.
- Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions, usually before the final rinse cycle or after washing and drying.
