Lightweight but tough – the face fabric is remarkably light yet twice as durable as any other competitor.

Berghaus recommend that you machine wash your item at 30 degrees Celsius and use soap powder or liquid with no fabric softeners or conditioners. For stubborn grease and dirt use non biological detergent with no softeners or conditioners. The garment should be air dried or if the care label allows tumble dried at a low heat setting. The waterproof coating acts as a shield towards wet weather, and allows the water to simply bead off the garment. If this waterproof coating has faded away over time, the water that gets on to the garment will not bead off as easily and will build up. This means that there is an extra coating of water on the outside of the garment, which inhibits the breathability and does not allow warm air and condensation on the inside of the garment to escape. This can result in what appears to be a leaking product, when in fact the build up of moisture on the inside is warm air and condensation that cannot escape.All of our waterproof products, following their manufacture, are treated with a waterproof coating on the outside of the garment. This feature is in addition to the Gore-Tex or AQ waterproof membrane inside the garment.

There are Four accessory attachment points with bungee cord so you can carry your canteen and walking poles with ease. AT Windproof - Highly breathable, and windproof which ensures the garment will keep you warm on even the windiest of days. The fabric has a non-pilling face to ensure its performance and looks are retained after repeated home washing.When stopping in the outdoors after a strenuous uphill section, the continued cooling effect on the skin through sweat evaporating and conducted heat loss, will cause excessive cooling and resulting in discomfort. Now suppose that an exposed ridge has been reached and the cold biting wind adds to the cooling effect and suddenly we have a dangerous situation. Moving the sweat off the skin does not stop the cooling effect. Excessive heat will still evaporate the sweat but on the surface of the base layer not the skin. Heat loss through conduction (water/sweat) is a very good conductor of heat) is reduced considerably though, as the sweat is only on the skin for a short time.
