Berghaus Vaskye Jacket - Green - M

No, the Pertex® Quantum fabric repels wind and rain effectively for light to moderate conditions, but the jacket is not described as fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof shell over it.

The jacket uses Berghaus Hydroloft® Polyball insulation, which is an advanced synthetic fill designed to provide excellent warmth, even when damp, and maintains its loft well.

While it provides warmth, this jacket is primarily designed for general outdoor activities. For skiing or snowboarding, you might prefer a jacket with specific features like powder skirts, dedicated lift pass pockets, and higher waterproof ratings. However, it can serve as a very effective mid-layer.

The jacket is highly packable due to its synthetic insulation and Pertex® Quantum fabric. It compresses down significantly, making it easy to store in a backpack without taking up much space.

Pertex® Quantum is a lightweight and durable fabric known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It's designed to trap air for insulation efficiency, offer wind protection, and repel light moisture.

Based on the description of an 'insulated hood,' it is integrated into the jacket design and typically not removable on this model.

This specific Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for men, as indicated by the 'gender: Male' attribute.

The insulation might be compacted or dirty. Ensure the jacket is clean by following the washing instructions. Tumble drying with tennis balls helps restore the loft and thermal efficiency of the Hydroloft® Polyball insulation.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket as instructed, and if the issue persists, apply a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product for outdoor technical fabrics.

Wash the jacket using a specialized technical apparel cleaner designed to remove odors. Ensure it is completely dry after washing. Avoid storing damp clothing.
