Your best friend in all weather
At Bergans we call it a shell jacket. A jacket that protects against rain and wind, while still breathing. That means moisture from your body escapes, so you stay dry and comfortable whether you’re heading to work, hiking in the mountains, or joining the kids on a rainy-day adventure.
Waterproof and windproof, yet breathable.
Durable and easy to pack in your backpack.
Suitable all year round. From city rain to mountain storms.
The secret lies in a membrane that lets air out but keeps water out.
We use Dermizax® and Bega Membrane®, advanced and PFAS-free membranes that can withstand tough weather.
Outer fabric and membrane laminated together.
Loose mesh on the inside gives a warm and cozy feel.
Perfect for everyday use and shorter trips.
Outer fabric and membrane with a thin protective print on the inside.
Very lightweight and compressible.
Ideal when weight and pack volume matter.
Outer fabric, membrane, and inner fabric laminated together.
Extremely durable, slim, and lightweight.
The first choice for mountains and tough conditions.
For city and everyday use: 2-layer – soft and comfortable.
For travel and light hikes: 2.5-layer – lightweight and compact.
For mountains and demanding weather: 3-layer – maximum protection and durability.
Choose a shell jacket that best suits your use and activity level, based on water column, breathability, weight, membrane, design, and fit.
When choosing a shell jacket, there are several important factors, including area of use, weather conditions, 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer construction, length, extra features, price range, and brand.
A shell jacket with a membrane is already waterproof when produced, but with long-term use the waterproofness can gradually decrease. It is therefore necessary to maintain the waterproofness by re-impregnating, repairing, maintaining, washing, and drying the shell jacket.
A shell jacket can be used in all kinds of weather throughout the year. Designed to provide protection against rain, wind, and snow, it is ideal for activities in wet and unstable conditions.
A shell jacket is a technical, versatile, and functional garment that is both waterproof and breathable, while a rain jacket is a specific garment that is only waterproof to keep you dry in the rain.
