FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket features Pertex® Quantum fabric which is designed to repel wind and light rain. It is not fully waterproof, so for heavy or prolonged rain, a separate waterproof shell is recommended.
What kind of insulation does it use?
It uses advanced synthetic Berghaus Hydroloft® Polyball insulation, which provides excellent warmth even in damp conditions.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash your Vaskye Jacket at 30°C. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or air dry flat to maintain insulation loft.
Can I wear this jacket for skiing?
The Vaskye Jacket can be a good mid-layer for skiing in cold, dry conditions. However, for full protection on the slopes, you would typically need a dedicated waterproof and breathable ski shell over it.
Is the hood removable?
The product description indicates 'insulated hood' without specifying if it's removable. Based on the common design of such jackets, it is usually fixed. Info needed: Removability of hood not specified.
What is Pertex® Quantum fabric?
Pertex® Quantum is a lightweight and soft fabric designed to offer significant weight reduction without compromising strength and abrasion resistance. It is often used in insulated garments to help repel wind and light moisture while allowing insulation to loft effectively.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
The Berghaus Vaskye Jacket provides consistent warmth from its Hydroloft® Polyball insulation. For very extreme cold, it performs best as part of a layering system with additional base and mid-layers, or under a protective outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't feel as warm as expected.
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Dirt or moisture can compress insulation. For optimal loft, tumble dry with dryer balls on low heat after washing.
Jacket is getting damp in light rain.
While the Pertex® Quantum fabric repels wind and light rain, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, wear a dedicated waterproof shell over the Vaskye Jacket.
Zipper is snagging or difficult to operate.
Gently clear any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant if needed, ensuring it's suitable for garment use.
