FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Interactive Jacket is designed to be water-resistant, offering protection against light rain and showers. For full waterproof protection in heavy downpours, consider a dedicated waterproof shell.
What does 'Interactive' mean for this jacket?
The 'Interactive' feature means the jacket has a zip system on the inside that allows you to zip in compatible Berghaus fleece or insulated jackets, creating a warmer, integrated system.
How do I find the right size?
The jacket is a size M for adult males. Refer to Berghaus sizing charts for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit for your body type.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
On its own, it's best for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered with an interactive mid-layer (like a fleece) to provide significant warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a 40°C cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat to maintain the water-repellent finish.
What is the benefit of tumble drying?
Tumble drying on a low heat helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric, ensuring water continues to bead off the surface effectively.
Where can I find compatible inner jackets?
Compatible inner jackets will be marked with the 'Interactive' (IN) system feature. You can usually find these in the Berghaus collection, often detailed as compatible layers on product pages.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Water is not beading on the jacket's surface
The DWR finish may need re-application. Follow the care instructions to wash and tumble dry, then apply a technical fabric re-proofer.
Jacket feels damp inside after activity
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that any compatible interactive layers are also breathable. Check that underarm vents, if present, are open. Tumble drying on a low heat can help reactivate the fabric's moisture-wicking properties.
Interactive zip does not connect with mid-layer
Confirm that both the jacket and the mid-layer are Berghaus 'Interactive' (IN) compatible. Ensure the zippers are clean and correctly aligned before attempting to zip them together.
