Full details
The Berghaus Bowburn Tech Vest is a high-performance base layer designed for active women who prioritize comfort and moisture management during outdoor pursuits. Its lightweight, four-way stretch polyester construction allows for complete freedom of movement, while an integrated odor-control finish ensures freshness during long hikes or intense workouts. While perfect for layering or stand-alone wear in warm conditions, users should note that as a tank-style garment, it offers minimal upper-arm coverage for protection against elements like sun or biting insects.

FAQs
Can I wear this vest for water sports?
Yes, the polyester blend is quick-drying and lightweight, making it suitable for active water-based sports where you expect to get damp.
How often does the HeiQ Fresh finish need recharging?
The finish is durable; however, follow proper washing instructions to ensure the technology lasts as long as the garment itself.
Is this vest see-through?
The fabric is designed for athletic use and provides appropriate opacity for activewear while maintaining breathability.
Does it shrink in the wash?
When washed in cold or lukewarm water and hung to dry, the polyester material is highly resistant to shrinking.
Can I wear this as a running top?
Absolutely, the tank-style cut and stretch fabric are specifically engineered for the high-movement nature of running.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense activity
Ensure the vest is worn as a base layer against the skin; wearing a non-breathable layer underneath will trap moisture.
Garment losing its stretch
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can break down the elastic fibers in the polyester blend.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the performance fabric, wash the vest in cool water with like colors and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and interfere with the moisture-wicking and odor-control technologies. Hang-drying is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the stretch fabric and prolong the lifespan of the garment. When layering, the smooth polyester finish allows other garments to slide over it easily without bunching. Ensure you choose your correct UK size for a snug, athletic fit that maximizes the fabric's contact with the skin for optimal moisture regulation.
