The Berghaus RG Alpha 2.0 Waterproof Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for adult men who need reliable protection during hill walking or daily commutes in inclement weather. Featuring Berghaus's proprietary Hydroshell technology, it balances waterproof performance with necessary breathability, though it lacks the advanced technical features found in professional-grade mountaineering shells.

It is designed for hill walking and general outdoor use. While it provides excellent weather protection, it lacks the specialized features required for high-altitude or technical winter climbing.
Regularly clean the jacket to remove dirt and body oils, and use a reproofing spray if water no longer beads off the surface.
Yes, the rollaway hood is designed for general rain protection and features adjustments to help keep it secure in wind.
The RG Alpha 2.0 is cut with a standard fit, so it should accommodate a mid-layer like a fleece comfortably, provided you choose your standard size.
Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the specific care instructions on the garment label for recommended temperature and cycles.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
While Hydroshell is breathable, heavy exertion can exceed its capacity. Adjust your base layers to be more moisture-wicking and consider unzipping slightly if your activity level is high.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions found inside the garment. Typically, this involves machine washing on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. After washing, low-heat tumble drying can often help reactivate the water-repellency of the outer surface. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before hanging it in a closet to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
