Berghaus Vantashell Jacket - Grey - M

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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