Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Vantashell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, high-performance softshell for winter outdoor activities. It serves as an excellent standalone piece for brisk conditions or as a functional layer within a broader mountain kit, offering robust weather protection in a versatile grey design; however, users should note that as a softshell, it is intended for active use and may not provide the full waterproof protection of a dedicated hardshell jacket.

FAQs

Is the Vantashell completely waterproof?

No, the Vantashell is a wind-resistant softshell. It provides excellent protection against light drizzle and wind, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof hardshell.

Can I wear this jacket for skiing?

It works well as a mid-layer during high-intensity skiing or as an outer shell on dry, sunny days. For wet, snowy conditions, you may need a waterproof outer shell over it.

What is the best way to store the jacket?

Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation.

How do the pockets hold up with a backpack?

The pockets are designed to be accessible even with a hip belt, though it is best to pack smaller, flatter items in them to maintain comfort.

Is the material stretchy?

The polyester construction offers a degree of natural flex that allows for a full range of movement required for climbing and hiking.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks.

Clear any debris or grit from the teeth and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite.

Fabric losing its water-repellent finish.

Wash the jacket to remove surface dirt and then apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic softshells.

Hem cord tension isn't holding.

Inspect the toggle for trapped dirt; clean with warm water and ensure the cord is correctly routed through the housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Four-pocket design offers exceptional storage for a softshell
  • Highly versatile for both standalone and layering configurations
  • Bonded dropped cuffs increase protection against the elements
  • Adjustable hem ensures a secure, custom fit
  • Durable material suitable for varied outdoor conditions

Cons

  • Not a fully waterproof hardshell, may saturate in heavy sustained rain
  • Available in limited colour options
  • Material choice is optimized for wind resistance rather than extreme thermal insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vantashell, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water using a technical gear cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can clog the pores of the polyester fabric and reduce its breathability and wind resistance.

Regarding compatibility, the jacket is sized for a regular 'M' fit, allowing for a base layer or a thin fleece underneath. If you plan to wear it under a hardshell, ensure your outer shell has a generous cut to accommodate the Vantashell's bulk. To adjust the hem, simply pull the internal drawcord to your desired tension and secure it with the integrated toggles.
