Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Pendower Wind Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight weather protection during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is offering high wind resistance and repelling light rain, making it ideal for crisp trail days, while its slim fit allows for effective layering. A potential caveat is that it is not fully waterproof, so it's best suited for windy conditions or light showers rather than heavy rain. Key features include articulated patterning for freedom of movement, a durable ripstop face, a zipped chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, and a pre-tensioned stretch-bound hood, cuffs, and hem for a secure fit.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Berghaus Pendower Wind Jacket is highly wind-resistant and repels light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.
What is the wind resistance rating?
The fabric has a wind resistance rating of 1.2 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). For context, 0-1 CFM is windproof, and 1-5 CFM is considered highly wind resistant.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash it at 30°C or 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric conditioner or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?
The jacket has a slim fit designed for effective layering. While you can wear a thin fleece, a very thick one might feel restrictive. It's best suited for thinner mid-layers or base layers.
What is the benefit of the articulated cut?
The articulated cut provides enhanced freedom of movement, particularly for the arms. This means you can lift your arms or perform dynamic movements without the jacket riding up or feeling constrictive.
Can the hood be adjusted?
The hood is pre-tensioned with stretch binding around the edge, providing an adaptive, custom fit that moves with your head. It does not have drawcords or toggles for adjustment.
What is the pocket for?
The zipped chest pocket is designed to hold small valuables. It also doubles as a stuff sack, allowing you to pack the entire jacket into it for compact storage and transport, complete with a carry loop.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels slightly tight or restrictive.
This is a slim-fit jacket designed for layering. Ensure you are wearing appropriate thin base or mid-layers underneath. If significant restriction occurs during movement, consider pairing it with thinner garments or using it for less dynamic activities.
Water is not beading off after a few washes.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider reproofing the jacket using a product suitable for nylon outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any reproofing treatment.
Zipped pocket seems stiff.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. If resistance persists, a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
