Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vantashell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a lightweight, versatile outer layer that balances weather protection with high breathability. It excels as both a standalone shell during high-output activities and as a dependable component of a mountain layering system; however, users requiring extreme cold-weather insulation may need to supplement it with additional thermal layers due to its streamlined design.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating, making it highly effective against rain and wet weather.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is an excellent outer shell for active winter use, but it is not insulated, so you should pair it with base and mid-layers for warmth.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket uses standard sizing. Since it is designed for active use, it has a fitted cut; choose your normal size for a streamlined fit or size up if you prefer to wear bulky layers underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are secure and zipped, but they are not fully waterproof compartments; keep delicate electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket for extra protection.
Does it come with a hood?
Yes, it features a protective bonded hood with a peak for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the jacket
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath and adjust your pace to allow the breathability function to keep up with exertion.
