Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Rain-Motion Jacket is designed for adult male outdoor enthusiasts who require a durable, highly technical waterproof layer that does not restrict movement. Built with high-performance 3L Pertex Shield fabric, this jacket offers an ideal balance of breathability and weather protection, making it a reliable choice for long days in the mountains or rainy commutes. While it excels in performance and packability, users should note that the technical, active fit may feel restrictive if layered heavily with bulky winter insulation.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is an excellent outer shell, but because it has an 'active fit,' ensure you have enough room underneath for your mid-layers if you plan to be stationary in extreme cold.
Can I store the jacket in its pocket permanently?
While the pocket is designed as a stuff sack for temporary storage, it is best to hang the jacket up when not in use to maintain the fabric's integrity.
What does 3L mean in Pertex Shield?
3L stands for 3-layer. This means the waterproof membrane is bonded between a durable outer face fabric and an inner protective lining, offering superior durability.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the cap-style hood is designed to provide coverage and structural protection against wind and rain.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a technical wash product in a washing machine at 30°C. Never use bleach or heavy fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray while the garment is still damp.
Reduced breathability or feeling damp inside
Dirt, sweat, or oils may have clogged the membrane pores. Wash the jacket thoroughly using a technical gear wash to restore airflow.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and wipe the zip clear of any grit or debris with a soft, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Rain-Motion Jacket, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the outer surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to clean, damp fabric to restore performance.
- Storage: Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place rather than leaving it compressed in its stuff sack for long periods to prevent membrane degradation.
