Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed from 2L GORE-TEX ePE fabric, which is industry-standard for waterproof and breathable protection.
Can I wear this jacket in summer?
Yes, it is lightweight enough for summer showers, though the GORE-TEX membrane is more beneficial in cooler, wetter climates.
Does the hood detach?
The hood is a rollaway design, meaning it stores neatly into the collar rather than detaching completely.
What is the InterActive system?
It is a zip system that lets you securely attach a compatible Berghaus fleece or insulated mid-layer inside the jacket.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical cleaner for GORE-TEX, wash on a gentle cycle, and always rinse thoroughly.
Is this suitable for heavy snow?
It provides excellent protection against wind and rain, but ensure you layer it with appropriate insulation underneath for very cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water beading.
Condensation building up inside
Check your layering system. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and adjust the jacket vents or zip to regulate heat.
InterActive zip not connecting
Ensure you are using a genuine Berghaus InterActive-compatible mid-layer; some standard jackets may not have the matching zip track.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your jacket, ensure you adjust the hem and cuffs properly to fit your base layers before setting out. The jacket is compatible with the Berghaus InterActive (IA) range, meaning you can zip compatible fleece mid-layers directly into the internal zip track. For care, wash the jacket in cool water with technical garment detergent designed for GORE-TEX fabrics. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof membrane's performance. Regularly re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior once water stops beading on the surface to ensure continued peak performance.
