Full details
The Berghaus Kinetic Powerstretch Jacket is an ideal mid-layer for active outdoor enthusiasts who demand thermal efficiency and freedom of movement during long days on the trail. Engineered with Polartec® Power Stretch Pro® fabric, this garment offers exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities, making it perfect for high-output mountain activities. While its slim, technical fit provides excellent layering versatility, users should note that the fabric is designed as a performance layer rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Kinetic Powerstretch Jacket is designed for breathability and warmth, not as a waterproof outer shell.
Can I wear this as my only layer?
It is suitable for mild, dry conditions, but for windy or wet weather, it should be paired with a windbreaker or rain jacket.
How should I wash the jacket?
Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
What is the benefit of the raised pockets?
They are positioned to remain accessible even when wearing a backpack with a hip belt or a climbing harness.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, it features four-way stretch technology to ensure a full range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long periods of exertion
Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool; cotton base layers absorb sweat and prevent the jacket from wicking effectively.
Jacket feels tight when wearing multiple layers
The Kinetic is a technical slim-fit garment. If you require more room for heavy layering, consider opting for a different layering system or sizing up if appropriate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking performance during high-intensity exercise
- Superior flexibility thanks to four-way stretch technology
- Accessible pocket placement for backpack users
- Warm yet lightweight construction for easy layering

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket features a slim, performance-oriented cut, it is designed to fit close to the body to maximize wicking efficiency. It is compatible with most standard base layers and sits comfortably under waterproof shells or down jackets. For care, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the technical fibers. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the stretch material.
