Berghaus Wavertree - Black - L

The Berghaus Wavertree Half-Zip Sweater is designed as a water-repellent layer for outdoor activities, offering protection from light rain and wind while maintaining comfort and breathability.

No, the sweater is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light rain and moisture. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to rain, where a fully waterproof garment would be necessary.

Refer to the product description for model sizing information (e.g., 'Our model is 6'0.5" and wears a size medium'). It is recommended to check a Berghaus sizing chart if available for specific chest, waist, and sleeve measurements to ensure the best fit.

The sweater can be worn in cold weather as part of a layering system. It provides some wind resistance, but for significant warmth, it should be layered over insulating base layers or fleece.

The sweater is cut from woven polyester with a grid-mesh lining.

Avoid fabric softeners. After washing, you can reactivate the water-repellent finish by tumble drying on low heat or ironing on a cool setting. For extended performance, consider using a waterproofing spray.

Reactivate the water-repellent finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting for 20 minutes, or by ironing on a cool setting (do not steam). If performance is still low after reactivation, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt and sweat build-up, which can impede breathability. Check that the internal mesh lining is not obstructed. Follow the care instructions for washing.
