Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Interactive Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult men who prioritize reliable protection during outdoor excursions in unpredictable weather. Utilizing 2L GORE-TEX ePE fabric, it offers a robust combination of waterproofing, breathability, and durability, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in challenging conditions. While this jacket excels in versatility and protection, it is primarily designed as a shell layer, meaning those requiring extra warmth will need to pair it with an insulation layer, such as a compatible fleece, to get the most out of it in freezing temperatures.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the GORE-TEX 2L fabric construction provides excellent wind protection to keep you warm in blustery conditions.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, but use a technical cleaner specifically for waterproof gear and avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.

What does 'InterActive' mean?

It is a system that allows you to zip a compatible inner fleece directly into the jacket to create a single, cohesive insulating layer.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is a rollaway design, meaning it can be neatly stowed inside the collar area when not needed, rather than being completely detachable.

Will this keep me warm in winter?

The jacket provides protection from wind and rain, but it is not insulated. You should pair it with a fleece or synthetic mid-layer to stay warm in cold temperatures.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it for long periods to prevent mold or fabric degradation.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

InterActive fleece does not zip in correctly

Verify that your fleece is a genuine Berghaus InterActive-compatible model and ensure no internal drawcords are caught in the zipper teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable technology
  • Versatile InterActive design compatible with mid-layers
  • Fully adjustable hood for varied weather conditions
  • Durable material built for long-term outdoor use
  • Secure zipped storage for personal items

Cons

  • Does not provide significant warmth on its own
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the waterproof membrane functional
  • Fit may vary significantly if layered with bulky items

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the performance of your jacket, ensure you adjust the hem and cuffs to fit snugly over your mid-layers. For the InterActive feature, ensure your fleece layer is marked as 'InterActive' (IA) compatible to allow the zippers to align correctly.

Care instructions are vital for GORE-TEX garments: wash with a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. Periodically tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric.
