FAQs
Is the Berghaus Vaskye jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed with high-quality insulation and is suitable for cool, dry weather, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof shell.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
It is best stored hung on a hanger in a cool, dry place. For travel, you can compress it into your pack, but avoid keeping it compressed for long periods of time.
Can I wear this as a mid-layer?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer for layering under a waterproof jacket in colder conditions.
What is Hydroloft Polyball?
Hydroloft Polyball is a synthetic insulation technology designed by Berghaus to provide warmth through synthetic spheres that offer the look and feel of down while retaining heat even when damp.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the two concealed zipped pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials like smartphones, keys, or wallets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track. If it remains stiff, clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or grit.
Insulation feels compressed or flat
Gently shake or 'fluff' the jacket after removing it from your pack to redistribute the Hydroloft Polyball insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is an insulated garment, no complex setup is required; simply pull on and adjust the hood using the integrated toggle system to suit your head shape. For compatibility, the low-profile design allows it to be worn comfortably under most waterproof shells or over standard base layers. To care for your jacket, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature guidelines. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the thermal performance of the synthetic insulation. It is recommended to air dry the jacket to maintain its loft and shape.
