Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket is designed for active adults who need a balance between core warmth and high-output breathability. By combining Hydroloft Polyball insulation in the core with fleece panels on the arms and sides, it provides a specialized solution for hiking, climbing, or fast-paced winter activities. While the hybrid construction offers excellent mobility, users should note that the fleece sections are less wind-resistant than the insulated core, making it best suited for high-energy pursuits rather than static, exposed conditions.

FAQs
Is the Vaskye jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, and should be layered under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this jacket for intense winter hiking?
Yes, it is ideal for high-exertion hiking as the hybrid design prevents overheating while keeping the core insulated.
How do I determine the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing; refer to the Berghaus size guide for chest and sleeve measurements to ensure an athletic fit.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed for a snug, comfortable fit to complement the mobility provided by the fleece construction.
What is the best way to pack this jacket?
Due to the synthetic insulation, you can fold or compress the jacket firmly into your pack; it will naturally loft back up once unpacked.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels less warm after washing
Ensure the garment is thoroughly dried and gently shaken to redistribute the Polyball insulation.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; a soft brush can be used to clean the tracks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a technical hybrid jacket, the Vaskye is designed to be worn either as a mid-layer under a shell or as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. To maintain its performance, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent that is safe for synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the breathability and loft of the fleece and insulation. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the shape and longevity of the materials, and ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric.
