Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Ridge-Roamer Waterproof Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts who require a versatile, high-performance outer layer that balances weather protection with comfort. Designed with four-way stretch fabric and a highly breathable construction, it allows for maximum freedom of movement during strenuous activities while shielding you from wind and precipitation. While it excels in comfort and mobility, users should note that as a softshell hybrid, it is best suited for mixed weather conditions rather than prolonged heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

It features three-layer construction and fully-taped seams for high water resistance, suitable for most weather, though it functions as a breathable hybrid softshell.

Can I use this for rock climbing?

Yes, the four-way stretch fabric and two-way zipper make it an excellent choice for climbing and activities requiring a high range of motion.

How do I wash the jacket?

Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat tumble drying.

Does it have a hood adjustment?

Yes, the hood is adjustable around the face and at the back to ensure a secure, snug fit.

Is the DWR coating environmentally safe?

Yes, the jacket uses a PFC-free durable water repellent coating.

Can I fit a mid-layer underneath?

The jacket is designed for an active fit; while it accommodates a base layer and light fleece, it is tailored to remain relatively slim.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric surface rather than beading.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR water-repellent spray.

Condensation build-up inside the jacket.

While breathable, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to assist with vapour transfer.

Zippers feeling stiff or difficult to slide.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove grit or debris, then apply a silicon-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior breathability compared to standard hard-shell jackets
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to four-way stretch fabric
  • Comprehensive protection from wind and light-to-moderate rain
  • Fully-taped seams ensure long-term durability
  • Customizable fit via hood, hem, and cuff adjustments

Cons

  • Not a fully seam-sealed hardshell for extreme, sustained rain
  • Softshell material may be heavier than specialized lightweight rain shells
  • Limited to specific color profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, focus on proper fit adjustments upon first wear. Use the cord locks at the hem and the dual-adjustment points on the hood to customize the silhouette to your body shape, which prevents wind from entering the torso area.

Care instructions include washing in cool water with a technical outerwear detergent to maintain the DWR coating. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the breathable and water-repellent properties of the fabric. Periodic re-treatment with a spray-on DWR product is recommended once water stops beading on the surface after a wash.
