Performance fabrics and components, effective design and pattern cutting, and innovative features, combine to deliver lightweight protection, durability, and freedom of movement during warmer conditions.
Rain-Motion waterproof jacket
The new Berghaus Rain-Motion Jacket is built for moving in comfort on multiple terrains. Made out of high performance 3L PertexÒ Shield, it is waterproof, breathable and tough. An active fit combines with articulated pattern cutting and carefully considered features to deliver great freedom of movement during a wide range of outdoor activities.
The Berghaus Rain-Motion uses 3L PertexÒ Shield fabric that delivers a high level of waterproof protection and excellent breathability during extended use. Articulated pattern cutting allows for great armlift and freedom of movement, while the water resistant centre front zip has an internal storm flap with snap closure behind it to provide an easy to use extra venting option. A pre-tensioned elasticated cap style hood offers effective protection from the elements, while ensuring a good field of vision at all times. All of this means that the wearer can keep moving in comfort while using the jacket, in varying weather conditions.
Other features include: Stretch bound hood, cuffs and hem to enhance protection from rain and wind; two raised zipped pack compatible hand pockets for keeping essentials within easy reach; and an internal zipped pocket for securely storing valuables, that doubles as a stuff sac with carry loop. The women’s Berghaus Rain-motion jacket weighs just 240g for a size 12 and the men’s weighs 270g in medium. The jacket retails at £240 and will be available from March on www.berghaus.com and from selected specialist outdoor retailers.
Pendower wind jacket
The Berghaus Pendower is a lightweight wind jacket that is an ideal addition to the summer outdoor kit list. It’s highly wind resistant and a PFC-free durable water repellent treatment repels light rain. The Pendower packs down into a tiny stuff sac when not in use, making it a very portable and stowable summer companion. The jacket’s nylon fabric has a high wind resistance rating of Cfm 1.2. A slim fit prevents fabric from flapping and is ideal for combining the jacket with other garments in a layering system.
Other features include: Articulated pattern cutting for unrestricted armlift and great freedom of movement; a ripstop face for added durability; an internal storm flap with snap closure behind the centre front zip for an extra venting option; pre-tensioned stretch bound hood, cuffs and hem for extra protection; and a zipped chest pocket for valuables, which doubles as stuff sac with carry loop.
The Pendower is extremely lightweight – 100g for a women’s in size 12 and 140g for a men’s medium. The jacket retails at £110 and will be available from March on www.berghaus.com and from selected specialist outdoor retailers.
Staindrop fleece
The new Berghaus Staindrop is a versatile midlayer jacket, that is designed for active outdoor use all year long. The performance fleece fabric has an internal grid structure that delivers a great warmth to weight ratio and a high level of breathability. The combination of 94% polyester and 6% elastane with articulation in the arms, delivers four-way stretch and outstanding freedom of movement at all times. Other features include: Two zipped pack compatible hand pockets that allow easy access to essentials while wearing a rucksack; stretch bound hood and
cuffs for added warmth and protection when required; and a combination of merrow and clean seams for improved comfort.
The women’s Staindrop weighs 300g in size 12 and the men’s is 340g in medium. It retails at £75 and will be available from March on www.berghaus.com and from selected specialist outdoor retailers.
Bowburn tech tees
The new Berghaus Bowburn family of tech tees are lightweight, high performance next-to-skin garments for active use in warmer weather. The range includes women’s and men’s short sleeved crew tees, a women’s vest, and a men’s half-zip tee, all made out of a high performance polyester and elastane blend fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin and offers four-way stretch, for outstanding freedom of movement.
The Bowburn tees incorporate silver-free anti-bacterial HeiQ Fresh to support odour during extended use, while an anti-static finish and merrow stitching enhance comfort. The crew and half-zip tees include underarm panelling to prevent seams from rubbing, while lengthened, narrowed arms deliver an active, modern fit, and a slight drop in the back hem provides extra coverage and added versatility for multiple outdoor activities. The women’s and men’s Bowburn crew tech tees retail at £40, the women’s Bowburn vest is £40, and the men’s half zip is £48. All will be available from March on www.berghaus.com and from selected specialist outdoor retailers.
Performance legwear
The Berghaus women’s Kinnivie trail short (£75) and men’s Caldbeck pant (£95) and short (£75) are all made out of a woven nylon fabric with four-way stretch and a PFC-free durable water repellent treatment to fend off showers. Designed with articulation and diamond gussets, each style delivers great freedom of movement, and extended comfort during long and warm days outdoors.

Fast Hike 15 pack
Berghaus has raided its archive to develop the new Fast Hike 15 pack. Taking inspiration from 1998’s Millennium Product Design Award winning Nitro, the Fast Hike features the updated Limpet 2.0 compression system that set a new standard in stability during fast-paced activities. This modern evolution of the original design has been engineered to meet the needs of today’s fast and light user.
The Fast Hike 15 combines the Limpet 2.0 system with a new vest style harness to deliver a very stable and comfortable carry for moving at speed outdoors, across a wide range of activities. The pack is made out of Robic nylon, which is 1.6 times more resistant to tearing compared to a standard nylon. Robic high-tenacity nylon yarns have better alignment at a molecular level, making the fibres tougher and more resilient under friction and stress, and allowing Berghaus to keep the pack weight very low at just 470g.
Other features include: An external water-resistant pocket to protect essentials while keeping them within easy reach; weather resistant opening to main compartment with cord and cinch for quick access to kit; two chest strap mesh pockets for easy access to kit; zipped expansion chest bottle pocket for quick access to drink and to refill; and stash pockets for z-poles. The Fast Hike 15 is also hydration system compatible.
The women’s and men’s Fast Hike 15 packs retail at £120 and will be available from March on www.berghaus.com and from selected specialist outdoor retailers.
