Full details
The Berghaus Greenbank Hooded Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers seeking a reliable, lightweight softshell that balances mobility with protection. Designed for durability and long-term wear, it features a specialized wicking finish to keep you comfortable during high-output activities; however, potential users should note that as a softshell, it is designed for breathability rather than full waterproof coverage during extreme downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is a softshell jacket. It is water-resistant and designed to handle light showers and wind, but it will eventually soak through in heavy, persistent rain.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can strip the wicking and water-repellent treatments.
Does the hood adjust?
The hood features a bonded peak for structural support, but it is not a fully adjustable storm hood.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the softshell material is designed to offer excellent mobility and stretch for active outdoor movement.
Can I wear this in winter?
It serves as an excellent outer layer in winter when paired with appropriate thermal base layers or mid-layers.
Troubleshooting
Moisture is building up inside the jacket during use
Ensure you are not wearing too many insulating layers underneath, as the wicking finish works best when moisture can escape through the fabric.
Water is soaking through the material quickly
If the water-repellent performance fades, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for softshell garments after washing.
Pros and Cons

- Secure fit options with adjustable hem and ribbed cuffs
Cons
- Not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the wicking finish, avoid using fabric softeners during laundering. Machine wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner specifically designed for synthetic outdoor gear. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The jacket is compatible with standard hiking base layers and mid-weight fleeces if additional warmth is required for cold-weather excursions. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent odors or material degradation.
