    Info

    The Berghaus RG1 Jacket (and the ladies' version, the Berghaus Calisto Jacket) is a versatile jacket you can wear anywhere, with a hardwearing waterproof, windproof and breathable nylon rip-stop outer layer.

    It's nice and light for it's level of protection, weighing in at an excellent 540g.

    The RG1 Jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent Treatment) applied to the fabric which is made from Berghaus’ own Aqua-Foil technical material.

    The inner also has a mesh drop lining to help with breathability and moisture movement as well as a drawcord hem to keep the RG1 just where you want it.

    The hood is large enough to fit a hat/helmet; ideal for climbing, walking or running, and it rolls away neatly into the collar when not required.

    The Berghaus RG1 Jacket has two outer-zipped pockets which have hand-warming micro fleece lining to keep your hands toasty warm in those freezing springtime temperatures!

    The reliable YKK front zip is protected by a double storm flap, found usually on higher specification hill-walking jackets, to keep the weather away from your undergarments. This combined with the drawcord hem allows you to be totally protected from the elements.


    The Berghaus RG1 Jacket is a classic hill-walking jacket, great for any outdoors fun, at an outstanding GO Outdoors price.

    got this coat last year has done me well never let in water and used on a regular basis working dogs wind proof but would recommend you wear a layer under it as when you stand about in it you soon feel the cold but fine as long as you keep moving

    great jacket, 19 December 2011

    Bought to use whilst commuting on a bicycle. Great jacket , keep nice and dry. This jacket will not keep you warm however it will keep you dry so best to layer up. Also very light to fit in your bag.

    Berghaus Men's RG1 Waterproof Jacket, 01 December 2011
    By Hermit (Oxfordshire)
    Perhaps there is a mix up with the sizing labels. I bought the small size because the medium was too large, and I can still comfortably wear my spectrum fleece and two base layers underneath it.

    Be careful with the zips, they do snag in the netting, taking a long time to free up.

    There is no map pocket. Inclusion of an inside map pocket to accommodate O/S maps would have been useful, but by the time I thought of that I had already bought it.

    I’ve worn the RG1 for over a year and think the jacket is well worth fifty quids worth, which is what they are discounted for these days, but I would only trust it for light use. It is comfortable and breathable, being light to wear, and I particularly like the short length for walking fast in. . It is packable, folding down small enough to stuff into the rear side pocket of my 25 ltr day sack.

    BUT

    If I had to be out in the persistence for any length of time, such as a steady fine rain for several hours, or several cloud bursts in one day, I wouldn’t trust this jacket to keep me dry. It worked well up until the third time I wore the jacket in the rain, the water droplets beading and rolling off. Since then however it only takes a light rain for the jacket to wet out, and although I can’t say the water has penetrated the jacket yet, it doesn’t inspire confidence, and the jacket becomes noticeably weightier for not repelling the water droplets. I’m aware that the RG1 Is only a coated DWR jacket , so I’ll have to upgrade to one of the Gortex jackets from the Berghaus range.
