FAQs

What is Hydroshell fabric?

Hydroshell is Berghaus' own waterproof, breathable, and lightweight fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.

Is this jacket suitable for winter use?

While the jacket offers good weather protection, it is best suited for milder temperatures. Layering is recommended for colder conditions.

What is DWR?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a finish applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They are designed to protect contents from light rain.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood has adjustable toggles that allow you to customize the fit around your head and face for better coverage.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 285g.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the DWR finish; re-proof the jacket if necessary. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the hood toggles to tighten the fit around your head.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper wax or lubricant.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Ensure you are not over layering. Adjust the venting features like pit zips if available, to improve breathability.
