Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Wavertree Half-Zip is an essential mid-layer for active adult men who prioritize versatility and comfort in changing mountain conditions. Engineered with four-way stretch fabric and body heat mapping, it excels during high-intensity movement by providing targeted warmth and breathability, though it should be noted that its DWR finish is intended for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is the Wavertree Half-Zip waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which is designed to shed light showers. It is not fully waterproof.
Can I use this for high-intensity training?
Yes, the integration of grid-mesh ventilation and four-way stretch makes it highly suitable for high-intensity activities.
How should I wash this jacket?
Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using a technical outdoor garment cleaner, and avoid fabric softeners.
Does this jacket have pockets?
Yes, it features two secure zipped hand pockets for your convenience.
What is the primary benefit of the body heat mapping?
It provides targeted warmth where your body loses heat most rapidly, keeping you comfortable without adding unnecessary bulk.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a high-quality technical DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Feeling chilly despite the heat mapping
Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking and that the bungee hem is tightened to prevent drafts from entering.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to four-way stretch
- Highly breathable with grid-mesh ventilation
- Lightweight and comfortable for layering

Cons
- DWR finish only provides protection against light showers

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Berghaus Wavertree, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Utilize the single-point bungee cord at the hem to ensure a snug fit that prevents wind ingress.
- Layering: Wear as a mid-layer underneath a hardshell jacket for wet conditions, or as an outer layer during cool, dry days.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a technical DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity and fabric integrity.
