Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it and wear it over your desired base and mid-layers.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as a versatile outer layer for cold, dry, and windy conditions, or as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof shell for wet environments. It pairs well with moisture-wicking base layers and robust outdoor trousers.
Care Instructions:
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Berghaus Vaskye Jacket. Follow these steps:
- Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fastenings. Turn the jacket inside out.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the insulation and fabric.
- Drying: This is a critical step for maintaining the insulation's loft. Low tumble dry, inside out, with clean tennis balls. The tennis balls help to agitate and redistribute the Hydroloft® Polyball insulation, preventing clumping and restoring its loft. This process may take several hours. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store the jacket unfolded in a dry, cool place to allow the insulation to maintain its loft. Avoid compressing it for long periods when not in use.
