FAQs

What is the primary function of this vest?

The primary function is to provide warmth as a mid-layer, offering a great warmth-to-weight ratio. It can also be worn as a standalone piece in mild conditions or layered with compatible outer shells.

Can I zip this vest into any jacket?

No, the InterActive zip system is specifically designed to be compatible with Berghaus outer shells that also feature the InterActive zip system.

What type of fleece is used?

It uses Polartec® Classic fleece, renowned for its durability, warmth, and excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

How should I clean the vest to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a 40°C cycle using a non-biological detergent. Tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid fabric conditioner, bleach, and ironing.

Is this vest suitable for very cold or wet weather?

As a fleece vest, it provides warmth but lacks windproof and waterproof capabilities. For very cold or wet conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a suitable outer shell.

What activities is this vest recommended for?

It is recommended for hiking, mountaineering, and general everyday outdoor activities.

What does '50% recycled materials' mean for the product?

It means that half of the material used to construct the vest is sourced from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.

Fleece material is pilling.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washing machine. Use a fabric shaver for affected areas if needed.

Vest does not zip into outer shell.

Confirm that both the vest and the outer shell are Berghaus InterActive compatible models. Ensure the zippers are fully aligned and free of debris before attempting to zip them together.

Drawcord is stuck or difficult to adjust.

Check the drawcord channel for any obstructions. Gently pull and maneuver the cord to free it. If the cord end is frayed, you may need to re-seal it with a flame or replace the cord.
