Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Ridge-Roamer Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a versatile, all-weather outerwear solution, particularly for unpredictable conditions. Its key benefit is offering robust protection against rain and wind while remaining comfortable and breathable thanks to its four-way stretch, three-layer softshell fabric. A minor caveat is its specific focus on outdoor, active use, making it less suited for casual, everyday fashion in mild weather. Key features include advanced moisture management, wind resistance, and adjustable elements for a personalized fit.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is ideal for unpredictable weather, offering protection against rain showers and wind. It's designed for mild to cool conditions when layered appropriately.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While it offers wind resistance and can be layered, it is a softshell jacket and does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, you will need to add insulated layers underneath.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the water-repellent finish.

Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket features a three-layer softshell fabric with a PU membrane, fully taped seams, and waterproof zips, providing a high level of water resistance and protection suitable for rain showers.

What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?

PFC-free DWR means the jacket has a Durable Water Repellent coating that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment. This coating helps water bead off the fabric's surface.

Does the hood offer full adjustability?

Yes, the hood is adjustable around the face and at the back, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind and rain.

What is the purpose of the two-way front zipper?

The two-way front zipper provides flexibility. You can unzip from the top or bottom, allowing for ventilation or easier access without fully removing the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Ensure the jacket is clean and then reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help reactivate existing DWR.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite not being wet from rain

This could be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the garment is not overly layered underneath and that the fabric's breathable membranes are not blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash according to care instructions.

Hood adjustment is not holding its position

Check that the cord locks are functioning correctly. Ensure the drawcord is properly threaded through the toggles. If the cord lock is damaged, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection against wind and rain.
  • High level of breathability for active use.
  • Superior comfort and freedom of movement due to four-way stretch.
  • Durable construction with taped seams and waterproof zippers.
  • Adjustable features for a customized and secure fit.

Cons

  • May be too warm for very mild or hot weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required for the Berghaus Ridge-Roamer Softshell Jacket. It is ready to wear out of the packaging. Adjust the hem cord locks and hood drawcords for a personalized fit before heading outdoors.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. It can be layered over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and water repellency:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Wash with similar colours. Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric to ensure optimal water repellency. Follow the instructions on the DWR product. Do not iron.
