Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for active outdoor pursuits. Utilizing advanced Hydroloft Polyball insulation, this jacket provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and water-resistant protection, making it ideal for changeable mountain conditions. While its synthetic insulation is highly compressible and performs well in damp environments, it is best suited as a mid-layer or light outer layer rather than for extreme high-altitude alpine expeditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light showers and damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wash the Vaskye Jacket in a standard machine?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle and a cleaner specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It is ideal for mild winter days or as a layering piece under a more robust jacket during colder temperatures.
What is the benefit of Polyball insulation?
Polyball insulation mimics the warmth and loft of down while retaining its thermal properties even when damp, unlike natural down.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the Vaskye features an adjustable insulated hood designed to provide a secure fit around the head.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels flat or clumped
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with tennis balls to restore the loft of the synthetic polyball insulation.
Zip is sticking or catching
Ensure the chin guard fabric is clear of the teeth and wipe the zip track with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the Hydroloft Polyball insulation, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Including clean tennis balls in the dryer can help redistribute the synthetic fill.
- Storage: Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger to preserve the loft of the insulation.
- Compatibility: This jacket pairs perfectly with a hardshell jacket for wet conditions or fits comfortably under a heavy-duty parka in extreme freezing temperatures.
