Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip is a technical fleece designed for adult males who prioritize mobility and thermal regulation during outdoor activities. Its standout feature is the combination of four-way stretch fabric and a water-repellent finish, making it an excellent layering piece for unpredictable mountain weather, though its relaxed fit may feel too loose for those preferring a slim, athletic silhouette.

FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, it is water-resistant. The DWR finish helps it shed light rain, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated waterproof shell.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While you can, it is designed as a midlayer. It performs best over a thin, synthetic, or wool base layer.
Does it provide wind protection?
The fleece construction offers some wind resistance, but it is not windproof.
What is the fit like?
The Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip features a relaxed fit to allow for layering and movement.
How should I wash it?
Use a gentle machine cycle with cold water and avoid fabric softeners.
Can I tumble dry the fleece?
Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric and the DWR coating.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt, then apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.
The half-zip feels stiff or difficult to slide.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth or debris. If the zipper is clean but remains stiff, a small amount of non-staining dry lubricant can be applied to the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require any technical setup; simply ensure the fit is appropriate for your layering system. It works best under a shell jacket during severe weather or as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions. To care for your fleece, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR coating. It is recommended to air dry the garment to maintain the integrity of the elastic cuffs and the stretch fibers. If the water-repellency fades over time, you can refresh it by applying a technical DWR re-proofer spray.
