Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vaskye Hybrid Hooded Insulated Jacket is designed for active adults who need a balance between core warmth and athletic mobility. By combining synthetic Hydroloft Polyball insulation in the torso with breathable fleece on the sleeves and sides, it delivers thermal efficiency without sacrificing range of motion during strenuous outdoor pursuits. While it excels as a mid-layer or standalone piece, the hybrid construction means it is not fully windproof or waterproof, making it better suited for high-energy activities in cold, dry conditions rather than extreme storms.

FAQs
Is the Vaskye jacket waterproof?
No, this is a hybrid jacket and is not designed to be fully waterproof. The fleece sections are particularly permeable.
Can I wear this as a winter coat?
It is best used as a mid-layer in extreme winter conditions or as an outer layer during active, cool-weather pursuits.
What is Hydroloft Polyball?
It is an advanced synthetic insulation from Berghaus that mimics the structure of down to provide warmth while remaining packable.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to layer it under a heavy shell, you may consider your usual size for a performance fit.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed for a close, comfortable fit to provide protection without needing constant adjustment.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
Yes, the two concealed zippered pockets are designed to hold essential items like smartphones or keys securely.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears flat or thin
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to re-loft the synthetic Polyball insulation.
Fleece section is pilling
Use a fabric shaver or lint remover gently on the fleece areas to remove surface bobbles caused by friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a technical garment, proper care ensures long-term performance. Always follow the washing instructions on the internal care label, typically involving a cool wash on a gentle cycle. Use a technical detergent suitable for synthetic insulation to maintain the loft of the Hydroloft Polyball. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade both the breathability and the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece. For storage, it is best to keep the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry area when not in use for extended periods to preserve the insulation's integrity.
