Berghaus Vaskye Jacket - Grey

The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket features Pertex Quantum fabric, which is highly wind-resistant. While it will offer some protection against light moisture and snow, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain. For heavy wet conditions, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof shell over it.

Hydroloft Polyball is an advanced synthetic insulation developed by Berghaus. It consists of small, down-like synthetic fiber balls that provide excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and maintain their insulating properties even when damp, unlike traditional down.

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section in this guide for detailed steps, including using a gentle cycle, appropriate detergent, and tumble drying with dryer balls to re-loft the insulation.

The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is ideal for cold seasons, including autumn and winter. Its excellent insulation makes it suitable for cool to freezing temperatures, especially when combined with appropriate layering.

The jacket is designed to be lightweight and conveniently packable. It can be compressed into a small size, making it easy to store in a backpack or luggage without taking up much space, perfect for travel or varying weather conditions.

Yes, the Berghaus Vaskye Jacket is equipped with a fully adjustable hood, allowing you to customize the fit for enhanced protection against wind and cold.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath for the temperature. Check that the jacket's fit is not too loose, which can allow cold air to circulate, or too tight, which can compress the insulation. Verify the adjustable hood and cuffs are snug to prevent heat loss.

This is common with synthetic insulation if not dried properly. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help agitate and redistribute the insulation, restoring its loft and evenness. Repeat the drying cycle if necessary until fully dry and fluffy.

While the Pertex Quantum fabric is primarily wind-resistant, it often comes with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If water is soaking in rather than beading, the DWR may need to be refreshed. Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions, then consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a silicone-based product) to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
