FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Jacket is best suited for cool to mild weather conditions, offering good protection against wind and light rain. It is not designed for heavy downpours or extreme cold.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Berghaus sizing chart for men's jackets. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare these measurements to the chart. This particular jacket is size L.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
While you can layer insulating items underneath, this jacket itself provides limited insulation. For very cold conditions, consider adding a warmer mid-layer or a more insulated jacket.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket offers water resistance, meaning it can handle light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams would be more appropriate.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
The frequency of re-proofing depends on usage and washing. A general guideline is to re-proof when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use.
Can this jacket be machine washed?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Please refer to the care label inside the garment for precise instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth. Slowly work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Water is penetrating the fabric during rain.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Jacket feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and residue can clog the fabric pores. Check that any inner layers worn are also breathable.
