Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Rain-Motion Jacket is designed for active adult males who require reliable weather protection during high-intensity trail activities in cold or wet conditions. Built with 3L Pertex Shield fabric, this jacket offers an excellent balance of waterproof performance and breathability, ensuring you remain dry without overheating. While the slim fit maximizes mobility and reduces bulk, users should note that the athletic cut may feel restrictive if you prefer layering heavy garments underneath.

FAQs
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, it features a pre-tensioned elasticated design that provides an adaptive, custom fit without needing manual toggles.
Can I fit a fleece underneath?
The jacket has a slim fit. A thin or medium-weight fleece will fit comfortably, but very bulky layers may restrict movement.
How do I pack the jacket?
The internal zipped pocket acts as a stuff sack. Simply fold the jacket into the pocket and secure it using the integrated carry loop.
Does it have pit-zips for venting?
No, it uses an internal storm flap with a snap closure behind the main zip to allow for controlled ventilation.
Is the material PFC-free?
Yes, it uses a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish to the face fabric for environmentally conscious weather protection.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets use water-resistant zips, though they are not fully submersible; they are designed to protect items from rain during transit.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then heat-set it according to product instructions.
Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof
This is often due to internal condensation from high activity. Ensure you are not over-layering and use the internal snap-closure vent to improve airflow.
Zip feels stuck or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the internal storm flap and clean the zip tracks with a soft brush to remove grit or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your jacket requires proper maintenance to preserve its waterproofing. For the best fit, ensure you wear moisture-wicking base layers to complement the breathable nature of the fabric.
- Cleaning: Wash in warm water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells to remove sweat and oils that can clog the membrane.
- DWR Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-beading finish on the outer face fabric.
- Storage: Avoid storing the jacket compressed in its stuff sack for extended periods; hang it up once home to allow the fabric to breathe and recover its loft.
