Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is windproof and offers some protection, but it is not a waterproof raincoat. Avoid heavy rain to prevent the down from losing its insulation properties.
How do I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket in a stuff sack for long durations to keep the down fluffy.
Can I use regular laundry detergent to wash it?
No. Always use a dedicated down cleaner to ensure the feathers remain clean and the protective coating on the fabric remains intact.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is fixed but features a single-point adjustment to ensure a secure fit.
What is the benefit of the Trango quilt pattern?
Beyond its stylish look, the quilt pattern helps keep the down insulation evenly distributed, preventing cold spots.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is normal for down products. Gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out through the fabric, then rub the area to close the needle hole.
Jacket feels flat after washing
The down has likely clumped. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Explorer Long Down Jacket, store it hanging in a dry, well-ventilated area rather than compressing it for long periods. If the jacket gets dirty, use a specialized down-specific cleaning detergent and follow the garment label instructions precisely. It is highly recommended to tumble dry the jacket with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help the down clusters regain their loft after washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the coating and negatively affect the insulating properties of the down.
