FAQs
What is the main benefit of the InterActive zip system?
The InterActive zip system allows you to zip this gilet into a compatible Berghaus outer shell, creating a single, highly effective layered garment for protection against wind and rain.
What activities is this gilet best suited for?
It is recommended for hiking, mountaineering, and general outdoor activities. Its warmth and breathability also make it suitable for everyday wear in cooler conditions.
How much does the gilet weigh?
The gilet weighs approximately 350g for a size Large.
Is this gilet waterproof?
No, the gilet itself is not waterproof. It is designed as an insulating mid-layer. For waterproof protection, it needs to be zipped into a compatible waterproof outer shell.
What does 'MADEKIND' production mean?
MADEKIND production signifies that the garment is constructed from a significant portion of recycled materials (over 50% in this case), contributing to more sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing.
How should I care for my fleece gilet?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors using a non-biological liquid detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat or dry flat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not iron or dry clean.
Can I wear this gilet on its own?
Yes, the gilet can be worn on its own as a warm, insulating layer, particularly on dry, cooler days.
Troubleshooting
Gilet won't zip into outer jacket
Ensure both the gilet and the outer jacket are Berghaus InterActive compatible models. Check that the zippers are clean and free from debris. Align the zippers carefully before attempting to zip them together.
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece. Ensure the garment is fully dry before assessing warmth. For Polartec® Classic fleece, regular washing with appropriate detergent maintains its performance.
Drawcord at hem is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawcord channel is free of lint or debris. Gently work the drawcord back and forth to loosen it. If it remains stiff, check for any knots or snags.
