Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Berghaus Big Wall Half Zip waterproof?

No, it features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which helps resist light showers, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

Can I wear this under a harness?

Yes, the relaxed fit and half-zip design make it compatible with most climbing harnesses, though tucking it in may be necessary to keep it secure.

How do I maintain the DWR finish?

Use a specialized technical wash to clean the garment and periodically re-apply a DWR spray according to the product's instructions to maintain water shedding.

Is the fit true to size?

The garment is described as a relaxed fit. If you prefer a tight, athletic look for layering, you may want to consider sizing down.

Can the chest pocket hold a large smartphone?

The chest pocket is designed for small essentials. Most standard-sized phones will fit, but very large 'plus' or 'pro max' models might be a tight fit.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric surface

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

Fabric snagging or pilling

Avoid contact with rough, abrasive surfaces like sharp rock faces. If pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface lint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional freedom of movement due to four-way stretch
  • Effective light weather resistance via DWR coating
  • Easy ventilation through the extended zip design
  • Comfortable brushed interior lining

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may feel too loose for some users
  • Not intended as a primary waterproof shell
  • Limited storage with only one chest pocket

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for intuitive use, requiring no technical setup. When layering, pair this fleece with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layers to maximize breathability.

To maintain the DWR finish and fabric integrity:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for DWR-treated fabrics to ensure the water-repellent properties remain effective.
  3. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish breathability.
  4. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the stretch properties.
