Berghaus Vaskye Insulated Jacket - Grey

No, the jacket features Pertex Quantum fabric which is windproof and highly breathable. While it offers good protection against light moisture, it is not explicitly designed or rated as waterproof.

The jacket uses advanced synthetic Hydroloft Polyball insulation. This material is designed to offer excellent warmth, similar to down, and retains its insulating properties even when damp.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help restore the insulation's loft, or air dry thoroughly by laying flat.

Yes, thanks to its windproof Pertex Quantum outer fabric, the Berghaus Vaskye Insulated Jacket can be effectively worn as an outer layer in cold and windy, but dry, conditions.

The jacket is designed to be highly packable. It conveniently compresses for easy storage and transport, making it an excellent choice for travel or when space is limited in your backpack.

The product weight for a Size UK L is 510g. Weight may vary slightly for other sizes.

Ensure the hood is fully adjusted and secured, and that the hem and cuffs are snug to trap heat. Consider wearing appropriate base layers underneath to maximize insulation. If conditions are extremely cold or wet, add an additional mid-layer or a waterproof outer shell.

Ensure all air is squeezed out of the jacket as you fold or roll it. Start from the bottom hem and roll tightly towards the hood. If provided, utilize the jacket's own pocket for self-stuffing, or use a compression sack (if you have one) for maximum packability.

Lubricate the zipper teeth with a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path. Always use the zipper slowly and deliberately. The soft chin guard is designed to prevent upper zip rubbing, so ensure it's positioned correctly.
