The Berghaus Light Trek Men's Waterproof Hydroshell Walking Jacket is a full-featured, highly technical and lightweight walking jacket that is fully waterproof as well as being breathable.

In addition, this jacket has sophisticated body ventilation, reinforcement in relevant abrasion-risk areas such as where your backpack lies on your back and reflective elements for poor-light visibility.

The Hydroshell Elite 2.5L fabric is used for the main body of the jacket but also in a heavier version for those areas that may be subject to wear. Hydroshell Elite is not only waterproof to storm level but it is also soft to the touch for comfort even where it is next to the skin.

The hood is organically formed as an extension of the collar with the effect that it moves with your head rather than threatening to cover your eyes when you look up, for example.

The full protection from the elements provided by the Berghaus Light Trek Men's Waterproof Hydroshell Walking Jacket is continued with the storm flap behind the reverse-coil centre-front zip which itself can of course give you versatile control over your ventilation preference at any time.
