Ramche II Competiton + Down Wash Direct

Nikwax and Berghaus, two of the longest established British Outdoor brands, have joined forces on some key products in the Berghaus Extrem range, utilising PFC-free Nikwax Hydrophobic Down as a solution to make down exceptionally water resistant whilst continuing their commitment to the lightest possible environmental footprint. We have a Berghaus Ramche 2.0 jacket using this highly water resistant Nikwax technology to give away to one lucky winner along with a Nikwax bundle of aftercare products to keep it in tiptop condition.

Down is the optimum insulation for very cold conditions. Until recently though, its big drawback has been its vulnerability to water. When down gets wet it loses its ability to keep you warm. However with Nikwax Hydrophobic Down the wearer gets water resistance, low weight and high insulation without the use of hazardous, persistent chemicals.
