"Given my commitment to doing the thing I love without sacrificing my comfort, I've never not worn a hard shell jacket on the slopes. So when the Berghaus Explorer down jacket arrived on my desk—weighing less than my daily moisturiser—I didn't intend for it to go above treeline. (Spoiler: it's now seen more than one mountain range)."
"Despite the Explorer lacking the shell I've always relied on to fend off snow or hail, the brand's signature high performance 650 fill Berghaus Hydrodown claims to thrive in the cold. The extra protection of its wind-and-water-resistant Pertex Quantum fabric also promises staying warm in the wet."
"I put it to the test: a sunrise run (Manhattan), Nordic skiing (eastern Quebec), Alpine skiing (Vermont and later Gstaad) and walking (various cities across the northern hemisphere)."
A Canadian skier raised in Switzerland tested the Berghaus Explorer down jacket across multiple winter activities and climates, from New York to Quebec to Vermont. Despite being marketed for travel and commuting, the jacket proved versatile for skiing, Nordic skiing, running, and walking in temperatures dropping to thirty below. The jacket weighs less than daily moisturizer and features 650 fill Berghaus Hydrodown insulation combined with Pertex Quantum wind-and-water-resistant fabric. The short boxy fit proved flattering and comfortable. The tester, accustomed to wearing hard shell jackets while skiing, found the Explorer's performance surprising given its lack of traditional shell protection, successfully replacing expected layering systems across varied winter conditions.
