Product Information
Full details
This Berghaus Pendower Windproof Jacket is designed for active women seeking protection from wind and light rain during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is its exceptional wind resistance and lightweight design, making it ideal for layering. A potential caveat is its slim fit, which may require careful consideration for layering thicker mid-layers. The jacket features a highly wind-resistant material, articulated patterning for freedom of movement, and a packable design for convenience.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is designed to be windproof and repel light rain. It is not waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The jacket has a slim, women's-specific fit. It should feel snug but allow comfortable movement. It is designed to be layered, so consider the thickness of the layers you intend to wear underneath when choosing your size.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C with a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
The jacket can be easily stashed away in its own side pocket, which doubles as a stuff-sack. This makes it very compact and easy to carry.
What is the ripstop face material?
Ripstop is a weaving technique that makes fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. The 'ripstop face' means the outer surface of the jacket fabric has this feature for added durability.
What does CFM1: 2 wind resistance rating mean?
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. A lower CFM rating indicates higher wind resistance. A rating of CFM1: 2 means that only 2 cubic feet of air can pass through one square foot of fabric per minute, signifying excellent wind blocking capability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy or is not breathable
Ensure you are not wearing excessively thick mid-layers under the slim-fit jacket. Check that the fabric's DWR finish is intact; if not, reapply a DWR treatment. Make sure you are not overheating inside the jacket.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper with a little wax (like a candle or lip balm) applied to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
Elasticated cuffs or hem feel loose
This is a characteristic of the stretch-bound design for comfort and ease of movement. If significant stretching occurs, it may indicate wear and tear over time.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent wind protection for its weight.
- Lightweight and packable design for easy transport.
- Offers good freedom of movement due to articulated design.
- Suitable for layering with other garments.
- Durable ripstop face material.
Cons
- Only repels light rain, not suitable for heavy downpours.

- Hood, cuffs, and hem are stretch-bound rather than adjustable with toggles or zips.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight from the packaging.
Compatibility: The slim, women's-specific fit is designed to layer effectively with other garments. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers made of fleece or synthetic insulation. It is not designed to fit over bulky down jackets.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of your jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash using a synthetic cycle at 30°C or 40°C. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to maintain water repellency, following the product manufacturer's instructions. Do not use fabric conditioners or bleach.
