Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Pendower Wind Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight weather protection during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is shielding against wind and light rain, making it ideal for crisp days on the trail. A potential consideration is its slim fit, which is excellent for layering but may feel restrictive if worn over bulky garments. Key features include highly wind-resistant nylon fabric with a ripstop face, articulated patterning for freedom of movement, a pre-tensioned hood, and a zippered chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is highly wind-resistant and repels light rain. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours. For heavy rain protection, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
What is the wind resistance rating?
The fabric has a wind resistance rating of 1.2 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). A rating between 1-5 CFM is considered highly wind-resistant.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate measurement. This jacket is a men's Small (S) in a slim fit.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
It's designed for protection against wind and light showers, making it ideal for crisp days. For colder temperatures, it should be worn as part of a layering system over insulating garments.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does 'articulated pattern cutting' mean?
This refers to the way the fabric panels are shaped and sewn, specifically in the sleeves and shoulders, to allow for a greater range of motion and flexibility without restriction.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight when layered
The jacket features a slim fit optimized for layering. Try wearing it over thinner base or mid-layers. If a very bulky mid-layer is desired, consider a jacket with a more relaxed fit.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Zipper snagging
Gently try to free the fabric from the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if the issue persists.
