FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, it is treated with a DWR finish for light moisture resistance but is not waterproof.
Does this have a slim or baggy fit?
This model features an oversized fit, designed to provide extra space for layering and movement.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
Yes, it is excellent as a midlayer or an outer layer in dry, cool conditions.
How do I clean the fleece without damaging it?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners.
What is the benefit of the brushed-back lining?
The brushed-back fleece creates a soft texture against your skin and increases thermal efficiency by trapping more air.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric quickly
The DWR finish may be worn out; try tumble drying on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; if it continues to stick, use a dry silicone lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As an oversized garment, the Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip is designed to be worn over technical base layers. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR finish and the integrity of the fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the DWR coating. If the fleece begins to absorb water, a tumble dry on low heat may help reactivate the repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation over time.
