Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Kielder GORE-TEX InterActive Jacket is designed for adult female hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, waterproof shell that manages unpredictable weather conditions effectively. Its standout benefit is the 2L GORE-TEX ePE membrane, which offers high-performance waterproofing alongside excellent breathability for active pursuits. A key caveat to note is that while it is designed for layering, the regular fit may feel loose if you intend to wear it without a compatible midlayer underneath.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane is inherently windproof, providing a total barrier against windchill.

Can I use any midlayer with the InterActive zip?

No, you must use a midlayer that is specifically labeled as 'InterActive' compatible to ensure the zips align and attach correctly.

How do I adjust the fit of the hood?

The jacket features integrated drawcords or adjustment points (depending on the specific production batch) designed to cinch the hood closer to your head for better visibility and weather shielding.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius using a technical cleaner. Do not bleach or dry clean.

What does 70D face mean?

70D refers to the denier of the yarn. A higher number like 70 indicates a thicker, more abrasion-resistant fabric compared to lighter, thinner hiking jackets.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or apply a fresh DWR spray.

Inner layers feel damp during exertion

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Even breathable membranes struggle to manage high moisture levels if you are wearing cotton or non-wicking synthetic materials underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance waterproof protection
  • Versatile layering capability via InterActive zip
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to articulated sleeves
  • Durable 70D face fabric for long-term wear
  • Breathable design prevents overheating

Cons

  • Requires a separate compatible midlayer for maximum warmth
  • Regular fit may be bulky for some users without layers
  • Fixed hood cannot be stowed away

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To use the InterActive feature, simply align the zip of your compatible Berghaus inner layer with the internal zip of the Kielder jacket. Fasten the attachment points at the collar and cuffs to ensure both layers move as one unit.

Compatibility:

This jacket is compatible with the Berghaus InterActive (IA) range of midlayers. Ensure your midlayer specifically denotes 'InterActive' compatibility.

Care:

To maintain the waterproof membrane's effectiveness, wash the jacket regularly with a technical cleaner designed for GORE-TEX fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. Always tumble dry on a low heat setting after washing to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
