Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Bowburn Tech Vest is a high-performance technical layer designed for active women who need reliable moisture management during outdoor pursuits in warm conditions. It offers exceptional freedom of movement thanks to its four-way stretch fabric and features integrated odor control for multi-day comfort; however, users should note that as a dedicated technical base layer, it is designed for layering rather than standalone heavy-duty protection.

FAQs
Is this vest suitable for running?
Yes, the four-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for running in warm weather.
Does the odor control wear off?
The HeiQ Fresh technology is durable, but its effectiveness can be reduced if harsh detergents or fabric softeners are used regularly.
Can I wear this as a standalone top?
Yes, the tank style is designed for standalone wear in warm, active conditions.
How does the sizing run?
The vest follows standard technical sizing; for an active, close-to-body fit, stick to your regular size.
Is the material UV protective?
While the polyester blend provides some light barrier, it is not specifically rated as a sun-protective garment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after short use
Ensure the vest is worn directly against the skin rather than over a cotton t-shirt, which can trap moisture.
Odor buildup after long-term use
Check that you are not using fabric softeners during the wash cycle, as they can clog the HeiQ Fresh finish.
Snagging on the fabric surface
Avoid contact with sharp rock faces or velcro fasteners from other equipment to maintain the smooth finish of the technical fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a technical vest, this item is intended to be worn directly against the skin to maximize moisture wicking. It is highly compatible with other Berghaus technical mid-layers and waterproof shells. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and diminish the garment's wicking performance. Always air dry the vest rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to preserve the elasticity and the integrity of the odor-control finish.
