Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight
From maker's figures 3/10How much it adds to your pack. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Berghaus lists 0.560 kg without naming the size, which sits in the 470-649 g band. Reviewers weighed 483 g in men's S (Live For The Outdoors), 556 g in men's L (Fiona Outdoors) and 440 g in women's size 10 (The Great Outdoors); Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 515 g in M (500 g on its size selector), also band 2. The method bands Berghaus's figure.
Rain protection
From maker's figures 7/10How well the fabric and seams keep out heavy, long rain, when new. 7: Better than most.
GORE-TEX with no mm figure published for this jacket, so the GORE-TEX rule gives 7 (an estimate: a 9 or 10 needs reviews). Berghaus's GORE-TEX panel says 'Every seam is sealed'. We ignore the 28,000 mm Berghaus prints, the generic GORE-TEX figure.
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: heavy 3-layer shell 3/10How much warmth the jacket itself adds. Most shells add little: wear a warm layer under them. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Hillwalking and winter days in the hills in a durable 3-layer shell
- Walkers who want pit zips and a wired hood that fits over a helmet (reviewers)
- Anyone who wants free Berghaus repairs for life
Strengths
- 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE with extra reinforcement at wear points
- Berghaus's GORE-TEX panel says every seam is sealed
- Long pit zips, fixed wired hood with two-point adjustment, water-resistant two-way front zip
- Four pockets, two hand pockets compatible with a pack or harness
- Durability 4 from three independent tests
- Covered by Berghaus's Repairhaus repairs
Weaknesses
- 560 g (Berghaus's figure) is heavy for a shell
- Roomy fit: reviewers found the sleeves and cuffs too big and the hem flares in wind (Live For The Outdoors, The Great Outdoors)
- Breathability: RET 6 per Berghaus's page, but Live For The Outdoors found it hot to hike in
- Zip pulls and adjusters are fiddly with winter gloves (The Great Outdoors)
- PFAS-free DWR may need re-proofing more often (Live For The Outdoors)
