Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Pendower Wind Jacket is designed for adult women seeking protection from wind chill and light rain during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is its highly wind-resistant material and slim fit that minimizes flapping, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is that it is designed for light moisture resistance, not heavy downpours. This jacket offers essential wind protection and freedom of movement for active use.

FAQs
What is the wind resistance rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a wind resistance rating of CFM1: 2, indicating a high level of protection against wind.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is designed to repel light moisture and protect against wind chill. It is not waterproof and will not perform well in heavy rain.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
The jacket can be stuffed into its own zippered side pocket, which doubles as a stuff-sack. A carry loop is also included for convenience.
What material is the jacket made from?
The body of the jacket is made from 100% polyamide with a ripstop face for durability.
Can I wear this jacket over a thick fleece?
Due to its slim, women's-specific fit, it is best paired with thinner mid-layers. For thicker fleeces, consider a more relaxed fit jacket.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment if repellency decreases.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive during movement.
Ensure the articulated patterning is aligned correctly with your body. If layering, use thinner mid-layers as the jacket has a slim fit.
Wind is still penetrating the jacket.
Check that the hood, cuffs, and hem are adjusted snugly. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed.
Reduced water repellency after washing.
Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray or wash-in product according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can impair performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no specific setup. Simply put it on and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem using the pre-tensioned stretch binding for a secure fit.
