Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Bowburn Tech Vest is a high-performance base layer designed for active women who prioritize moisture management and freedom of movement during outdoor activities in warm climates. Crafted from lightweight polyester with four-way stretch, it effectively wicks sweat while the HeiQ Fresh finish combats unwanted odours during long days on the trail. While it offers superior comfort and an anti-static finish, users should note that as a dedicated technical base layer, its thin construction is optimized for layering rather than standalone cold-weather protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your vest, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the polyester fibers and inhibit moisture-wicking performance.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a machine, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the technical finish.
- Compatibility: This vest is designed to be worn directly against the skin. It pairs well with other breathable mid-layers or waterproof shells, making it a versatile component of a modular layering system.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric.
