FAQs
Is the Berghaus Vaskye jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to withstand light rain and moisture but should not be treated as a fully waterproof shell for heavy or prolonged rain.
What is the primary material used?
This version is constructed from high-quality, durable nylon, providing a balance of strength and flexibility.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a gentle machine cycle with cool water and a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can strip the weather-resistant coatings.
Can I wear this jacket as a mid-layer?
Yes, its streamlined fit makes it an excellent candidate for layering under a larger waterproof jacket in more severe weather conditions.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket?
Yes, it features an internal pocket in addition to the external zip pockets for extra storage convenience.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore water repellency.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean the teeth of the zipper with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris, then apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild technical detergent specifically designed for outdoor fabrics.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low, cool setting. Avoid high heat as it can damage the water-repellent treatment.
- Compatibility: The jacket fits well as a standalone piece or can be layered underneath a dedicated hardshell waterproof jacket during heavy rain.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
