Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Theralite Down Jacket is a high-performance, lightweight insulating layer designed for active outdoor enthusiasts who require warmth without bulk. Featuring Hydrodown insulation paired with synthetic fill and Pertex Quantum fabric, this jacket offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for hiking and mountaineering; however, its lightweight construction means it is best used as a mid-layer or outer layer in mild to moderate conditions rather than extreme alpine storms.

FAQs
Is the jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the Pertex Quantum shell and Hydrodown technology, but it is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof.
Can I wear this while it is raining?
It can handle light drizzle, but you should layer a waterproof shell over it during heavy rain.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Hang it in a cool, dry place to allow the down to stay lofted between uses.
Does it come with a stuff sack?
Yes, it includes a dedicated stuff sack for compact storage.
How do I wash the Theralite?
Use a specialized down cleaner in a front-loading machine, then tumble dry on low with dryer balls.
Troubleshooting
Jacket losing loft
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore air pockets.
Down feathers poking through fabric
Gently pull the feather back from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, then rub the fabric to close the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Theralite jacket, store it hanging in a dry place rather than compressed in its stuff sack for long periods to maintain the down's loft. When cleaning, use a dedicated down-specific wash in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore loft. Avoid using standard laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating from the insulation.
