Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket is designed for adult men who need a versatile mid-layer for high-intensity outdoor activities. By combining synthetic Hydroloft Polyball insulation in the core with breathable fleece on the sleeves and sides, it offers an ideal balance of core warmth and freedom of movement; however, because it is a hybrid garment, it is not intended to be a standalone waterproof outer shell in heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for breathability and warmth, not as a shell for heavy rain.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its low-profile hybrid design makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn beneath a hardshell.
What is Hydroloft Polyball insulation?
It is a synthetic, ball-fiber insulation that mimics the properties of down to provide warmth while remaining effective even if it gets slightly damp.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed with a comfortable, close-fitting profile for integrated protection, but does not feature mechanical adjustment toggles.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appearing clumped
Lightly shake the jacket or tumble dry on a low, cool setting with clean tennis balls to redistribute the Hydroloft fibers.
Zipper sticking or stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and wipe clean of any trail grit; apply a light lubricant like graphite if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Vaskye, avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. It is recommended to machine wash on a cool setting with the zippers closed to protect the teeth. Air drying is preferred, though a cool tumble dry may be used if the care label permits. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard shell layers; it fits neatly under a hardshell jacket for added weather protection when conditions worsen. When not in use, store in a cool, dry place rather than compressing it in a stuff sack for extended periods.
