Full details
The Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip is a technical fleece designed for active men who prioritize mobility and comfort during outdoor pursuits. It features a four-way stretch construction and a DWR finish, making it an excellent mid-layer for climbing or hiking, though its light-duty water protection means it is best suited for fair-to-mild weather conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which sheds light rain, but it is not a waterproof garment.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, but it offers limited wind resistance compared to a dedicated shell.
How should I wash the Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and damage the DWR coating.
Is the fit true to size?
The Berghaus Big Wall typically follows standard sizing, but it is cut for active use, so it has a slightly athletic fit.
What is the primary material used?
It is constructed from a high-quality technical fleece designed for four-way stretch and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Fabric surface absorbing water
The DWR finish may be worn out. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer spray.
Zip catching on the inner fabric
Ensure you are pulling the zipper straight and keep the inner flap clear of the zipper track while moving.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical mid-layer, compatibility relies on the layering system. It works best worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof shell jacket. To maintain the performance of the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric's elasticity. If the water repellency fades over time, you can re-apply a standard spray-on DWR treatment to the exterior fabric.
